Are you a writer, artist, yoga instructor, or self-care practitioner looking for some quiet time to work on your craft, dive deep into a project, or nourish your own practise? Hoping to get away for some dedicated quiet time free of distraction?
We’ve created the Hideout Residencies just for folks like you.
Here’s how it works. The Hideout is our vacation and retreat rental on the gorgeous south shore of Prince Edward Island. Both the Hideout Cottage and The Tryon Suite are available for select dates in the shoulder season each spring and fall for low-cost, self-directed residencies. Writers and other residents should plan to work on a project or engage in practise for a minimum of one week (6 nights). Residents will arrive on a Saturday afternoon and depart the following Friday morning. Both units feature queen-sized beds and bedding, self-catering kitchens, wifi access, yoga mats and props, space to write and practise, outdoor space, and access to trails and bicycles. Because of the rural nature of The Hideout, residents should normally plan to have their own vehicle for the duration of their stay. In exceptional circumstances, transportation may be arranged for an additional fee.
To apply for a residency, get in touch to tell us about yourself, your project, and your preferred residency time slot. You may wish to indicate an alternate date. We’ll follow up with more information, and you’ll then have ten days to secure your spot with a non-refundable $150 deposit. The remainder of your fees will be due 30 days before your arrival.
If money is an issue, we offer one full scholarship to an emerging or established writer or practitioners. Scholarship recipients will still be responsible for travel and food costs. We welcome applications from all, and folks who identify as Indigenous, LGBTQ, or as people of colour are especially encouraged to apply. Be in touch to discuss accessibility questions and concerns.
The scholarship deadline for 2020 is March 31. Please send us a short (up to five-page) writing sample (preferably related to your project), a short (250 word) synopsis of your project, and why being selected as a Hideout resident is important to you. Please include Hideout Residency in the subject line of your email.
