We Will be back in 2025!

A Celebration of Vital Writing!

We believe that books can bring us together, by helping us to see the world from a new perspective and revealing what matters most to us as a community, society, and species.

Thank you to everyone who made the 2023 festival a success. Please look forward to more information about the 2025 festival.

“Fun in Chaos” by Renee Taken, 2022

“After 54 years of a beautiful life that includes my husband, four grown children, and two grandchildren, I decided to treat myself to a class in watercolor. I have been exploring this medium for the past four years. I have painted everything from very realistic western pieces to very abstract pieces. I have come to understand that my real enjoyment comes from the abstract pieces because of the connection to the energy I feel while making the pieces.”

Thank you for a great festival.
