In order to contribute to the collective effort to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, l’Espace will be closed until further notice, and the 58th, 59th and 60th retreats will be postponed. Your blocks will be credited and automatically put back into your Thèsez-vous profile. Students who registered for retreats will be contacted via email shortly. We are very sorry for the inconvenience, we know how important our services are to some of you when it comes to staying motivated. Meanwhile, we set-up a tomato-fueled virtual space to write in your company! Join us on Thèsez-vous Ensemble. We also invite you to be patient and understanding towards our team, we are a small non-profit and this crisis has considerably shaken our organization overnight. We will do everything in our power to survive and to keep carrying out our mission with you!

What is a writing retreat?
A Thèsez-vous writing retreat is a 3-day event that includes more than 20 hours of productive writing, workshops, mind-clearing activities and opportunities to share resources with fellow students from all universities and fields of study across Quebec. Retreats are $260 for members (more details to come), but most universities offer financial assistance to help cover costs. Visit our Financial assistance page to learn more!
Accommodation, meals and schedules are all taken care of. There's nothing left to do but write!
