Retreat
We’re back in Greece 20 -27 May 2016 for our third annual Greece retreat. Our yearly retreat is time away from your everyday life with the sole focus and purpose to spend seven days luxuriating in you and your writing.
If you had the time to write what would you write that was true and from the heart? Whether it’s a novel, a book of short stories, blog posts or personal writing there’s a story we all have to tell on the page.
Our week-long writers retreat with Jackee Holder is open to the beginner and seasoned writer and for those hungry for protected time out in beautiful surroundings to connect with your writing voice. With little distraction and a host of creative and therapeutic writing activities you’ll dive deep into your writing in our morning and optional afternoon classes.
A creative incubator
The retreat is designed to be a creative incubator offering access to inspired content to coax you onto the page along with quality time and space to try out a range of writing techniques and tips which provide solutions and ways of not getting stymied by writer’s block and the tyranny of the inner critic that stops many writers in their tracks.
During your week you’ll have plenty of opportunity to stimulate your creative writing juices with walks out in nature, trips to the sea and our full moon writing mediation on the evening of the 21st May. You will feast on guided creative writing exercises, stimulating writing prompts and structured feedback in small groups designed as direct routes to get you motivated and inspired to write.
You’ll leave with a body of writing with personal meaning as well as an inspired writing action plan with support built in to help you achieve your writing intentions for the next six months.
What we will cover:
• How to engage in personal writing techniques which free up the mind and creates space for leveraging new writing opportunities
• Explore a range of writing approaches and methods guaranteed to help you craft appealing content for a range of platforms
• Learn how to become a better writer through regular writing practice and trusting the process
• Through writing in community discover your strengths and your unique writing voice and explore ways of bringing these alive on the page
• Try out different writing techniques that will help you build and generate themes and focus for crafting your personalised body of work
• A template that outlines the contents of a book proposal
• Mine the natural beauty of the Greek landscape to inspire and infuse your writing and creative thinking
