Cultivating creativity: Intensive writing retreat

There are only a couple of places still available in this residential weekend of writing masterclasses aimed at supporting your creative practice.

We’ll focus on:

• Creating and maintaining a writing practice that suits you
• Taking your writing project to the next stage
• Techniques and strategies to support your creativity
• Taking time to enjoy deep rest and rejuvenation
• Getting words down on the page
• How to establish and embed sustainable writing habits
• Tips and tools for the craft of writing
• Celebration and relaxation.

• This retreat is designed specifically for women and nonbinary writers at any stage of your career, and in any genre.
• You may feel you need more knowledge and in-depth craft focus
• Or you may be an experienced writer and want a recharge, a reboot, and some solid writing time away from your daily routine.

Your retreat leader is Dr Kelly Gardiner, acclaimed author, editor, and creative writing teacher. Our venue is the divine and newly renovated Continental House in Hepburn Springs. The fee includes expert tuition from Kelly in two masterclasses each day plus extra writing activities, two nights’ accommodation in your own room with private bathroom, Hammam spa session, yoga classes each morning, writers' salon, and refreshments, with all meals prepared by an award-winning local caterer.
