Commune. Create. Escape.

GOOD THINGS DO COME FROM A PANDEMIC. 

Especially for those seeking solitude and inspiration.

Write by the Water has added a new retreat location in the heart of adventure: The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia. Minutes from Tennessee and North Carolina, creative souls come from all walks of life to experience the beauty and vital force of nature.

We’re not just for writers/novelists anymore. Were we ever? We have hosted poets, short story and children’s book authors, songwriters, musicians, photographers, painters, sculptors, designers, builders, and more. Even people who didn’t know their hidden talents until they took the chance to attend a retreat.

Whether you are here to create with words or your hands, you will be fueled and refreshed by creeks, rivers, lakes and ponds in the Write by the Water way. Our instructors will take you on a journey that will forever change you for the better.

You have the unbridled opportunity to enjoy a bounty of outdoor activities all year round. Come and hike, backpack, mountain bike, kayak, canoe, paddle board, float, boat, go off-roading, hunt, fish, forage in the wild, commune with animals, practice yoga, embrace your spirituality, unleash your soul, forest bathe or nap in a hammock and dream.

Our retreats are designed for you. For your group. For what’s missing in your life.
