DETROIT MARITIME SAILOR’S CATHEDRAL

About Our event    

We have a very relaxed and loosely structured weekend. There will be some breakout sessions for writing inspiration as well as insight into the writing field and such sprinkled throughout. However, the focus is on spending time together, games, conversations and occasionally practicing Nerf boarding actions. Crochet occurs and other crafty bits depending on who is working. Some bring sewing machines for cosplay repair and construction.  We have not been called RelaxaCon for nothing!

There are no strangers, only friends we have not met yet.
