David Guiliano is in Sudbury to lead a weekend retreat on writing your spiritual journey.

September 20-22, 2019

Villa Loyola, 4951 Long Lake Rd., Sudbury, ON

Writing the Soul Story is for those interested in exploring their spiritual journey in a supportive retreat community. Whether you are interested in spiritual memoir for pleasure or for publication the willingness to courageously plumb your life through writing is the only prerequisite.  No previous experience is necessary.  There will be group time for giving and receiving aesthetic feedback and for individual contemplative writing.  Participants will engage in writing exercises, take some emotional risks, and stand authentically at the crossroads of creative writing and personal spirituality.

Location:  The weekend retreat takes place at Villa Loyola in Sudbury.  Participants may choose to stay at Villa Loyola in a lake front setting, easily accessible from Highway 69 and Highway 17.
