Emily Dickenson Poetry Weekend w/Kelly Writer’s House
Join us at Frost Valley’s East Valley Ranch for a relaxed and inspiring weekend of poetry, reading, and creative conversation led by Al Filreis, Kelly Professor of English, Faculty Director of the Kelly Writers House, and Director of the Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing, along with Sophia DuRose, MFA.
This special session will focus on the works of Emily Dickinson. Designed for adults of all experience levels, the retreat invites participants to slow down, engage deeply with poetry through close reading and discussion, and explore their own writing in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Rather than a traditional classroom, the weekend emphasizes shared inquiry, thoughtful conversation, and personal reflection.
Participants will also have time to enjoy the natural setting of East Valley Ranch, with opportunities for walking, quiet writing, and informal conversation over shared meals and evening gatherings.
No prior writing experience is required — just curiosity and a love of words.
Lodge Single $575, Lodge Double $465, Lodge Triple $425 All inclusive
