You can book into any of the retreats for 2025 right now by dropping me a line and paying the $200 deposit. APRIL IS ALMOST FULLY BOOKED but places are available for August. Please specify which retreat you’re interested in. Participant numbers are strictly limited so I can give everyone the attention they deserve. For INTERNATIONAL RETREATS please see HERE.
Come along and join our group of happy campers! Treat yourself to a retreat this year. You deserve some time and space for just you and your writing.
“I feel transformed, as a writer and as a human being.”

“The fully-catered retreat environment was comfortable and stress-free. Edwina and her team create an atmosphere that encourages, motivates and inspires.”
Gay Liddington – repeat retreater
Contact Edwina ASAP for more details or if you’d like to come.
You deserve some time and space for just you and your writing.
Please do get in touch if you’re struggling financially and we’ll work something out so you can come too. I first started these retreats because I couldn’t afford to go to any of the fancy ones we saw advertised, so the accommodation isn’t posh, but the workshops and people are first class! (We like to think so anyway)
