Writing Retreats
Step away from daily life and into your stories.
Imagine this…
Waking to birdsong and natural light. Creative focus in a beautiful retreat space, far from daily distractions. Cosy fireplaces, private writing nooks, and fresh air to clear your mind and make space for new ideas.
Guided, tailored workshops balanced with unstructured time to dive deep into your writing. Evening gatherings, steaming mugs of tea, and fireside chats to unwind from your inspired days.
Escape into your writing at our immersive retreats in beautiful natural settings.
From mountain cabins to seaside cottages, quaint rural towns to homesteads surrounded by farmland and state forest … each retreat offers a unique sanctuary designed for deep creative work. We've hosted writers in Victoria's High Country, in a French village next to a castle, and are dreaming of where our future retreats might take us! Our thoughtfully chosen locations provide the perfect balance of community and solitude for writers of all levels. These soul-nourishing retreats give you the rare gift of time - to reconnect with your creative practice, to make real progress on your work, and to simply be with your stories.
Your host Amy Han, author and founder of Words of a Feather, guides focused workshops (topics decided based on each retreat group), facilitates group feedback sessions, and is available for optional one-on-one discussion of your current work-in-progress or your writing practice in general. Previous participants especially love our guided writing sprints—where productivity soars in the best way.
Wherever you are at with your writing, whatever you wish to work on, and however you are feeling when you arrive, all of you is welcome.
