Welcome to The Writing House — a warm hearth in the heart of Toronto. Come in, be held, and do the work that is calling you.
This is a place of deep hospitality and spacious days, a home with a heartbeat and, for those who are open to it, hidden doors to mystery and synchronicity.
We have welcomed guests from every corner of this world to our table — for meals, for milestones, for the kinds of conversations that stay with you. The hearthside has always drawn people in. Now we are calling in the writers and the artists.
Come in. There is room for you here.
Our Offerings
Writing Residencies
What we offer is uncommon and simple: a beautiful room with a big desk and a cozy bed. Bookshelves lined with good company. Space for yoga, for thinking, for the kinds of mornings that greet your writing and evenings that offer deep, satisfied rest.
We'll check in. We'll offer food and conversations that remind you why you started. But your time is your own. Think of it as a home that wants you to do your best work — with good doses of inspiration, flirtation, and provocation.
You are welcome to come for a 3, 5, or 7-day residency. We'll craft it together, with love — with the possibility of inviting other writers in, or weaving in a Day Salon along the way.
Day Salons
A full or half day. A small, curated group of up to eight people. A specific theme. We craft beautifully held processes that make room for the kind of idea-generating and deep silence that opens our minds, hearts, and writing to new avenues.
These are curated explorations - beautifully hosted, generously fed - for writing that happens better in good company. We make room for live thinking and deep silence, for opening up and following the thread of your work in meaningful ways.
Weekend Studios
Imagine a weekend with nowhere to be but with your writing. A small group, a beautiful home, good food, and long stretches of time to write, think, wander, or sit still.
These weekends are slower by design. We hold the shape of the time lightly — just enough structure to ground you, and room enough to follow whatever wants to come. Think of this studio time as a sanctuary for your nervous system, and a chrysalis for your practice. People cross edges here.
