One-day writing retreat with Claire Jefferies

By the end of September, the back-to-work and school routines are running pretty smoothly, making it the perfect time to take a day to focus on something you enjoy… Join this one-day writing retreat to give yourself a quiet, slow-paced day surrounded by nature; perfect for complete creative immersion. This is an opportunity for dedicated writing time, away from all your daily distractions and obligations. Whether you need complete quiet or the buzz of conversation, you should find a writing spot in the farmhouse or gardens to suit you. As the sun sets over the farm, everyone is welcome to wind down from their day of deep focus with a sauna and swim in the outdoor natural pool. Who is this writing retreat for? You are welcome if you enjoy writing in any form; if you want to dedicate time to the first chapter of your novel, draft a podcast script or TV episode, play with an idea for a children’s story, or get a poem out of your head and onto the page, this day can be for you. What to expect on the day • Welcome gathering to help you arrive in the space • Guided writing warm-up • Delicious breakfast and lunch, healthy and indulgent snacks, hot and cold drinks • Opportunities to connect with fellow writers • Informal salon: a chance to share practices, discuss writing conundrums, or get feedback Breaks You are welcome to take a walk around the farm or surrounding Vallis Vale.
