It is recommended that participants check in on Friday, August 13.  All retreat participants, whether or not they are staying at the Sylvia Beach Hotel, will meet at the Sylvia Beach Hotel for breakfast on Saturday morning, before heading off to write. In the afternoon, everyone will gather in the hotel for a facilitated feedback session. Sunday also will include time to write and receive feedback.
