Twice a year (January and July) the Southern Minnesota Poets have a poetry retreat.

WHO:  You!  This retreat is for all who are interested in poetry.

WHAT IS REQUIRED: Bring a poetry program that is a half an hour in length and some food to share. 

The program can be anything that tickles your fancy, a physical activity that will stimulate writing; a writing workshop; a favorite author; a new form; a lecture; a special taped program that you want to lead a discussion on…the possibilities are endless.  Joint programs are also permissible.

All participants are expected to be respectful and supportive of everyone at the retreat and pitch in where they can to assist with food and space clean-up.

LOCATIONS: 

• The January retreat is usually the 3rd weekend in January and has been held in several locations.
• The July Woodtick retreat (3rd weekend) is held at the Stevens cabin in north-central Minnesota. 

Information about the retreats is posted a few weeks in advance on our Facebook page and sent out to our email list. You can sign up on mnpoets.org  or reach out to to the retreat hostess: Sue Chambers.
