Retreats

"Gartenterrasse" by Caspar David Friedrich

Fall Literature Retreat
November 15 - 16, 2024

Winter Literature Retreat
March 7 - 8, 2025

Literature Retreats are two-day events (all day Friday, half-day Saturday) held on the campus of The Ambrose School in Meridian, ID. The Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 Literature Retreats will be led by Joshua Gibbs, with each retreat focused on one particular work of classic literature.

Using a “show, don’t tell” model, each retreat is an intensive mini-course in which attendees are led through the text using the same readings, lectures, questions, discussions, exercises, and assignments that Joshua Gibbs has used with students for nearly twenty years.

Please note that the book does not need to be read in advance - attendees are welcome to experience the work being taught in the same manner as a typical student.

Cost, registration, lodging options, and other details coming soon.
