WHAT: Murder Mystery at Pokagon State Park is a weekend getaway for women during which you will join others to write a mystery, set on location in the beautiful, wooded park. We begin by creating the characters who will form a pool of potential sleuths, allies, suspects, murderers and victims. Throughout the retreat we’ll draw on past experiences, current imagination and the collective unconscious to build a murder mystery.

WHERE: Pokagon State Park in Angola, Indiana

WHEN: Thurs., Sept. 25, 7 p.m. -- Sun., Sept. 28, noon.

WHO: The 2008 Murder Mystery Weekend is open to women of all ages. No experience necessary! Writers and non-writers alike will benefit from the creative energy.

HOW MUCH: Registration is $150.
 
DEADLINE: Registration due Aug. 25, 2008. Space is limited! Register early to reserve your place-- and get an early-bird discount!

WHY: Jump into the fun of mystery! • Immerse yourself in a place of beauty, friendship and creative play. • Using the power of your own imagination, transform old experiences and past relationships into something new. • If you are already engaged in the writing craft through memoirs, mystery or in another genre, this weekend will give you an experience of collaborating on a story you couldn’t have created by yourself.
