It's that time again! This year's Professional Development and Writing Retreat will once again take place online, the first weekend of October: Saturday October 4, 2025 and Sunday October 5, 2025. The theme of this year's retreat is Staying With the Words: Writing as Witness, inspired by Pat Schneider's reminder that “When we stay with the writing, rather than focus on the writer behind the words, no subject is too big.”
The intention of this form is to discover what would be most helpful to you as an AWA facilitator in supporting your practice as an AWA facilitator and supporting you as a writer.
We'll use these survey responses to develop the program that will best serve your needs.
Even if you will not be able to attend the retreat, please fill out the survey -- as AWA leaders, we know that we share commonalities in what would be most supportive to us.
