2021- 2022 Writing Retreats and Events
|
If you want to write your book, or come on a creative writing adventure, you are in the right place. We have some fantastic, soulful (and pretty fun) retreats and residencies coming up. The current list is below and we add more as the year progresses or as the muse takes us to new and magical places.
Of course we are all in travel LIMBO right now, not sure how travel is going to progress. |
