Step away from the noise and into the work. The Chippewa Valley Writers Guild invites you to a 12-hour writers retreat designed for deep focus, thoughtful conversation, and creative renewal at Forage right here in Eau Claire.

This spring’s retreat features acclaimed writer Tamara Dean, author of Shelter and Stone, whose work explores place, attention, and the ways landscape shapes inner life. Through writing, quiet writing time, personalized one-on-one meetings with Tamara and host B.J. Hollars, participants will be encouraged to slow down, listen closely, and return to the page with renewed clarity. Registration opens mid-March.
