Creative Writing Retreats for Diverse Writers
The Experience
We are creating a space where strangers become friends, where creativity is the vehicle to erase borders, hurdles, and silence. For five days, diverse writers from around the world come together in Morocco to learn from award-winning and bestselling authors through creative writing workshops and cultural immersion.
What People Are Saying
"I left full â full of memories, inspiration, and kinship. It is not very often you meet a group of strangers and, in the course of five days, become connected through lived experience, art, and the opportunity to be in a beautiful place like Marrakech. Philoxenia is a very special experience and one that is worth your while as an artist, writer, and human.â - Isidora T., Philoxenia Retreat Attendee
"I enthusiastically recommend the PhiloXenia retreat to Black writers + aspiring writers who want to be in community with other brilliant, dreamy, and creative folks in a really beautiful setting. I left with a strong sense of direction and a desire to really pick up my writing practice again." - Grace A., Philoxenia Retreat Attendee
