Join poet and author Libby Wagner for an intimate, curated writing weekend at Hunter Moon Homestead, located in the rolling hills of the Idaho Palouse on the edge of the Bitterroot Mountains.
Writing can happen anywhere, but writing from a landscape that inspires, nourishes, and holds us, creates a unique portal to our imaginations, and offers up a rich and beautiful generative space. Together, we will accept the invitation of the sky, the light, the birdsong, the wide-open spaces of the horizon and our own imaginations.
“Libby Wagner is an accomplished and published writer and hostess extraordinaire! Her credentials might be intimidating were she not such a beguiling and encouraging coach. The program was designed to inspire on the deepest levels, feeding and calling upon all of our senses in myriad ways and within an environment that allowed us to flourish. There were provocative exercises and inspiring activities. This carefully curated, exquisite container is made for an unforgettably rich experience. Already I long to return!” F.B., Retreat participant
