Welcome
THE PERIPATETIC RETURNS TO GUATEMALA
The Peripatetic Writers and Artists Workshops & Retreat will meet June 24 - July 4th,
in Antigua, Guatemala. This beautiful, Spanish Colonial city - the original
capital of Guatemala - offers an inspired setting for creative
work that is perfect for writers and visual artists alike. Long treasured for its
natural beauty, historic architecture and friendly citizens, Antigua is a UNESCO
World Heritage Site and and was voted Wanderlust Magazine's Top City in the Wanderlust
Travel Awards 2009. Known as the "land of eternal spring", Antigua is pleasantly
warm year round, never hot, even in summer.
The Peripatetic began as a summer writing intensive in 1991 on Shelter Island,
NY, it then moved
to Woodstock, NY. went on to Achill Island, Ireland, and last year moved to Antigua,
Guatemala. Now we are returning for our second year there and for the first time,
the Peripatetic is expanding to include visual arts.
