Needing time to write and wishing to do so in community? This weeklong retreat offers the perfect opportunity to develop academic or creative writing alongside others.
Set in the beautiful and quiet surroundings of Glenthorne, this retreat is open to anyone looking for space and time for writing, whether starting a new project, or to take forward or finish off a current piece. There will be the opportunity to hear from the tutors about their experience of writing and one to one time with them, but the emphasis will be on creating a supportive environment to devote to the craft itself.
Each day will have a regular pattern with time for worship and writing, sharing, a chance for one to ones, and also particular discussions as we feel we need, with regular meal breaks and time for relaxation.
Please be aware that lunch is not provided on the final day but is available upon advance request to Glenthorne for a small charge.
