Hawaii Book & Music Festival and 5th Annual Mokule’ia Writers Retreat 🗓

Linda Watanabe McFerrin

Hawaii Book & Music Festival: May 6-7, 2017

The Mokulē‘ia Writers Retreat: May 7-12, 2017

Join me this month for two terrific events for writers events in Hawaii.
The Mokulē‘ia Writers Retreat is an annual gathering that brings three dozen writers of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, essays, and memoir to the North Shore of O‘ahu for a week of intimate workshops and coaching. The retreat is high-level and professional — but also low-key and tuned in to the beauty of the surroundings. It fosters an exchange in two directions — between islanders and mainlanders, published writers and budding writers, Native Hawaiian artistry and mainland publishing.

With the Waianae Mountains as a backdrop and the open ocean in front, participants break bread with colleagues, gather in daily workshops, salute the morning sun in yoga, write privately in the shade of ironwood trees, and wander along the beach. They even dance some hula. The theme, nā wahi ho‘oulu, acknowledges that a sacred spot like this will inspire the assembled to explore other places — whether in the heart, in memory, or in the moment.

The retreat is led by North Shore native Constance Hale, the author of five books, including Sin and Syntax and workshop leaders include LCW Founder, Linda Watanabe McFerrin. The daily workshops will be taught by writers and editors who bring deep experience in many genres. For those wanting to dip a toe in rather than taking a deep dive, it’s possible to join in for the afternoon workshops only. For more information about all of the individual workshops available and the camp itself go to the Camp Mokule’ia website here: https://campmokuleia.com/retreats/writers/2017-program/
