Madrona Bay Hideaway – Writer’s Retreat
Quiet, self-contained accommodation by the sea, among the cedars: offered as a temporary home for writers, educators, and creators. A place for deep focus, getting traction on creative projects, and making space for the kind of thinking that needs both solitude and kindness. Be held in the soft magic of Salt Spring Island, and feel supported in spacious ways by Caffyn Jesse, who has accompanied many people in bringing their books and educational offerings into the world.
