A Resource for Women in the Arts, Academia, and Entrepreneurship

Resident Robin Olsen painting in Holly House

“I came here for three weeks to paint, which I did, but, as so many have said before me, my time here has been so much richer than that. …The first week here I sat in gratitude as I felt the knots unwinding in my mind. For the first time ever, my morning journal pages were not filled with “to do” lists, but instead were a quiet appreciation of the moment or deeper pondering about where I want my work to go.”   Robin Olsen

Hypatia-in-the-Woods provides and maintains Holly House, a residential retreat center for women of all creative talents, in a serene environment free of the distractions of everyday life.

We welcome applications for residencies from women in the arts – broadly defined to include visual, written, and performing arts, as well as other similar forms of creative expression – in entrepreneurship and in academic professions.
