Lighthouse Writer Workshop’s weeklong Juneau retreat will take place May 24–31, 2026 (with an optional add-on excursion extending your stay to June 2).

This generative retreat will feature a blend of ample writing time, instruction, local exploration, connection with other adventurous writers, and manuscript feedback from seasoned writers and teachers. 

This year's instructors are not only award-winning writers, but they're both recipients of the Beacon Award for Teaching Excellence: Erika Krouse and Rachel Weaver.

Join Lighthouse Writers Workshop in the scenic mountain town of Grand Lake, Colorado, to immerse yourself in writing, reading, and creative discovery with a community of like-minded writers.

Each day, we invite you to attend workshops and activities, listen to craft talks, and share your work at fireside readings, all to inspire new ideas, new writing, and new ways of seeing. 

In the more than 25 years of our Grand Lake Retreat, we’ve come to admire what “getting away” has to offer: a chance to focus solely on pursuits that feed our lives as writers and readers, as creative people. We appreciate how a majestic natural landscape allows the mind freedom to wander and discover, as well as connect to sensation—an integral part of good writing, no matter what genre.
