Life can often leave us feeling adrift, estranged from who we thought we’d be. Sometimes a change of scene, an immersion in the unfamiliar, can help us rediscover and regain our sense of self. That’s where “Finding Yourself In Greece“ comes in, a journey of self-discovery in a land of breathtaking beauty.
Finding Yourself in Greece
June 12-18, 2025
led by Laura Walker and Shannon Vesely
in Evia, Greece
“Finding Yourself in Greece” is a week-long retreat on the Greek island of Evia. Writers will stay in one of two locations, La Casa Grande or Villa Cortesia. We'll meet daily at La Casa Grande to read across genres and respond to guided journal prompts, with opportunities to discuss, refine, and share our work. We’ll connect with new friends and enjoy the local culture as we explore the roots of our writing.
