OUR WRITING RETREATS

We understand the quiet magic sometimes needed to write and after years of running writing courses. We ran our first retreat in Greece in 2016. 

Close to a decade later we go back to Greece every summer for a long writing residency. Most years we also run retreats in Cape TownLamu and the UK. Join us to write.   Join us if you need dedicated time away from your ordinary life to totally immerse yourself in a creative and supportive environment.
