Grab Your Pens, We're Going Upstate!

Get ready for the best weekend of your life with this collaboration between the Boston Writer's Salon and the NYC Calendar Club!

Have plans for 2027?

Now you do.

They say the way you start the year is how you'll spend the year; and what better way to set yourself up for success than with an intimate, exclusive retreat with your new writing besties in Upstate New York!?!

Conveniently located between NYC and Boston, with easy transportation options, this winter getaway is going to be a special weekend with the power to transform the trajectory of your creative life.

Every detail is planned for you, including community dinners, candlelight salons, and reconnecting with your soul's purpose, and being able to look up at the stars all night.

Every moment is intentionally designed to reignite your creative spark amongst likeminded women.

Spaces are extremely limited, and granted on an application basis- make sure your name is on the list, and we'll be in touch on 11/11 with next steps.

xoxo,

Allison and Marianna
