Your Contribution Will Help An aspiring Writer to…

FIND THEIR VOICE

 

Writing can be a practice, a prayer, a meditation, a way of life and a way to life. Most importantly, it is a venue for unique and powerful voice. Through phenomenal and intensive craft instruction, Haven Writing Retreats will help participants identify their voice, distinct from every other voice on the planet.

FIND THEIR NARRATIVE

We are narrative. Haven writers come hungry for theirs and leave bursting with them. At Haven, attendees free-fall into these stories bravely and come out the other side with a new perspective, new understanding, and new narratives.
Is it time to finally write that book, essay, play, or poetry collection that’s burning inside?

The Haven programs and vibrant, well-curated Haven community will assist from start to finish.

FIND THEIR MOTION

These narratives don’t have to stay hidden and you don’t have to identify as a writer to tell them.

The Haven I Writing Retreat is a writing workshop and retreat in one. Haven writers allow themselves to fully engage in the creative journey they are already on, whether or not they are aware of it. Writers will walk away with a new commitment to using writing in their life and fresh motion on the narratives that tell their truth. They will also be part of the vibrant Haven community with continued support and programs.

HAVEN TESTIMONIALS

“I’m excited to announce that I’ve been accepted into a great MFA Fiction program in Chicago! Attending Haven played a huge role in boosting my confidence as a writer and encouraging me to pursue a future in writing. Thank you, Laura Munson, for all of the help, support, and encouragement throughout my MFA application process!”

HAVEN TESTIMONIALS

“I am absolutely positive of this: I am a better writer because I attended Haven.”

Kathryn Stockett, author of “The Help”

 

HAVEN TESTIMONIALS

“This is the power of Haven: For one year, I hadn’t written a word. Not a one. I was stuck in a place in my manuscript, couldn’t figure my way out, and signed up for Haven in a last-ditch effort to find the problem before I threw out the whole thing. But on Day 3 of Haven, after working one on one with Laura, I went out into the Montana wilderness with my computer and typed out 600 new words that unlocked the problem in my book. I’ve been back home for four days now, and am 10,000 words into a new draft with no sign of slowing down.”
