Do you have stories that you want to tell? Are you an aspiring writer who wants to polish your skills? Are you an accomplished writer who wants to find your muse?

Mark your calendar and plan to attend a very special story-telling and writer’s retreat at the Sorrento Centre in the beautiful Shuswap region of British Columbia.

Author Meredith Egan is a skilled writer, a strong story-teller and a long-time advocate for justice. All three come together in her brilliant novels, including Just Living. She is a certified executive coach as well as a successful author.

During this time together, participants will gather to learn practical tips, share their stories and discuss the art and craft of writing. There will also be plenty of time for reflecting and writing, including rambling across the 24-acre main campus of the Sorrento Centre and nearby trails and scenic spots.
