This winter, take a magical journey through the wardrobe door of creativity with noted author and speaker Allen Arnold. In this interactive retreat, we'll take a fresh look at the world of story and storytellers through the eyes of C.S. Lewis, Madeleine L'Engle, and Jesus.

The goal is to restore a sense of wonder, curiosity, freedom, and imagination to the stories we're writing—and living—by exploring some of the key practices, insights, and stories of C.S. Lewis, Madeleine L'Engle, and Jesus. 

Allen will lead three all-new morning sessions filled with teaching, exercises, and Q&A. The afternoons will provide times for writing, rest, and smaller break-out sessions with Allen. This transformative, interactive retreat offers mythic and practical ways to get unstuck, ignite your heart and your art, and illuminate your creativity through a kindred fellowship of modern-day inklings.

Sessions:

Morning Session 1
C.S. Lewis - Further Up & Further In, The Space Trilogy, & Culture

Morning Session 2
Madeleine L'Engle - Facing Chaos, Expecting the Miraculous, & Wrinkles in Time

Morning Session 3
Jesus - The Creator of Everything, Story Motives, & Heart Matters

In person & Online

A limited number of people (around 60) will be able to attend the Winter Creativity Summit in-person in Colorado Springs. The entire event will be recorded for in-person attendees to watch later and for those who wish to retreat at home to watch at their own pace.

Lodging

We are excited to work with The Hideaway Inn & Conference Center for our retreat this year! If you are registered to attend in person no further action is required on your part to make a reservation. We will take care of everything! We are limiting the number of single room options due to the fact that it will reduce our overall capacity for in-person attendance. If single rooms are sold out and you still want one I encourage you to register at that level and join the waiting list. Once we achieve the minimum attendance we need we may begin to open up more single rooms as we are able and you will be first in line.

Check in is at 4 pm on Monday, March 17th. The first session will begin after dinner.

    In this bonus session, Allen reveals how to maximize your manuscript through an 11-step process he's crafted to uncover your concept's hidden potential, illuminate blind spots that sabotage a story, and pursue your creativity more actively with God. Allen combines his proven insights gleaned from publishing more than 500 novels as well as 30+ years helping writers for this 3-hour intensive designed to empower you with new ways to see your story (the one you're writing and living), hands-on exercises, and a robust Q&A that will leave you refreshed, expectant, and ready for the next chapter!

    About Allen: As the founder of Thomas Nelson Fiction, Allen published more than 500 novels. Since then, he's poured into countless thousands of writers through conferences, coaching sessions, and his books. In his three decades of work with authors and manuscripts, he's developed a proprietary process to help writers better understand their calling, their potential, and the way to fully align their art and their heart as they pursue story with God.
