CONFERENCE DATES: Friday, February 14th though Monday
February 17.

CONFERENCE LOCATION: Goddard College’s Port Townsend,
Washington, MFAW program site

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Lighthouse Conference & Retreat is an opportunity for graduates of the
Goddard MFAW program to come together in mutual support of the writer’s life, taking full advantage of Goddard’s beautiful Port Townsend seaside campus.

This year’s theme, its challenge, (and irony) is “ineffable: that which is
incapable of being expressed in words.” Together we’ll chip away at the
impossible, to find the right words to evoke that which we hope and long to
express. Whatever form your writing takes, and whether you find yourself on a professional or personal path (or both), you’ll find a welcome home at this conference/retreat as we come together to discover new ways to encourage, support and inspire the writer’s life.
