September 2026 Memoir Writing Retreat — Tell Your Story, Your Way

$325.00

A two-day, all-inclusive memoir writing retreat at the Re-Kindle & Bloom studio in North York — slow down, reflect, and shape the story only you can tell, guided by an award-winning author in a small, supportive circle of fellow writers.

When: Saturday–Sunday, September 26–27, 2026, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM daily
Theme: Memoir & personal narrative (English)
Facilitators: Ann Y.K. Choi, David Ahn & Susie Chen

  • All program materials, plus pre- and post-retreat resources
  • Workshops and 1-on-1 coaching with expert facilitators
  • Craft & wellness workshops (guided meditation, movement & breathwork)
  • Access to the studio space throughout the weekend
  • Light breakfast and a full lunch on both days
  • Perks & discounts from participating Lawrence Park neighbourhood businesses (based on availability)
