Theme: Unfolding the Writer
September 27-30, 2024 (+ optional September 26)
How do we let ourselves be known as writers?
How do we write ourselves into our poems?
How do we see ourselves and exist within our community?
How do we grow into our identities and personhood as writers?
These are some of the questions we will explore & invite ourselves into when we gather in Pullman in September. Camp Unfold is only open to Unfold alumni (any year).
Tell me more!
Three years into Unfold, it's time to gather in person! Since 2022, over 100 poets have engaged in our 30-day writing community and other workshops. The retreat will be hosted at Simpson United Methodist Church in Pullman, Washington. It is only open to Unfold alumni (from any year, any number of workshops).
We will have workshops with structures that you are both familiar and not familiar with! We will also have time and space for community building outside of writing. Located in the Pacific Northwest, we will have ample opportunity for writing with and simply existing in nature.
This is an opportunity for us to get to know one another in a new way, to grow as writers and as a community, and to have a safe space to learn and expand! We hope you’ll join us as we learn what it is to unfold the writer inside each of us.
