Housing costs vary depending on your own choices.
-
$250 - $350: This is for a week’s lodging at the budget level. You will be in a very modest, rustic room at a nearby hotel, about a 10-minute walk to the workshop sessions. Depending on your level of payment, you will either have a shared or private bathroom. Those choosing this option must be able to climb stairs.
-
$350 - 450: This is for a week’s lodging in a guaranteed lake-view room at the top level. We have several houses and rooms to choose from, all about a 5-minute walk to the workshop site at Joyce’s home. All rooms are private. Depending on your payment, some rooms have balconies, are larger, or have a garden view, and you either will have a shared or private bathroom.
Housing costs are paid in addition to tuition. Once you have been accepted, we will help you decide which room and level is best for you, but please keep in mind that all housing is first-come, first-served.
