Are you looking for time away from the daily grind to write, reflect, and enjoy the beauty of the natural world? I facilitate writing, study, and arts retreats for small groups at Still Point Mountain Retreat, a four-bedroom log house on a Blue Ridge nature preserve near Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia. Still Point is only a 1 1⁄2 hour drive from Baltimore or Washington, DC, but a world away from distractions and interruptions.
Writing block is rare out here, but if it strikes, just go for a walk in the labyrinth, take a dip in the spring-fed pond, splash in one of the cascading waterfalls, or hike on the private preserve’s 23 miles of marked trails with access to the Appalachian Trail. Satellite Wifi is available, but probably not as fast as you’re used to. This is your chance to experience freedom from the pressures of the workaday world, enjoy nature and quiet contemplation, and recharge your creativity.
