Free Your Words: Writing Retreat
Here’s your invitation.
A week in Sardinia, enjoying sunshine, countryside, delicious food and great company.
A week to let go of writing blocks and barriers, to tap back into your writing motivation, to unleash your creativity and free your words.
The time, space and to move your writing forward, or to find your writing voice.
The opportunity to work with others: to share words, to get feedback, to explore new ideas, to experiment and play.
The prompt to try new forms, to test new styles, to break through fears and learn to write with confidence.
We’ve created the conditions to let you do just that.
The perfect place: Ca’ la Somara. Good climate (spring sunshine, yet not too hot.) Sumptuous food and wine (we’re talking Italy after all).
A small group setting: no more than 10 people in total, plus two workshop leaders.
Plenty of time for conversation and socialising: not least the time at the end of the day, taking hours to savour a meal, and the kind of discussions that only get going when the food’s tasty, and the wine’s flowing.
The space to work the way you want: there’s lots of space at Ca’ la Somara to write on your own (or in a small group), and plenty of time in the programme to do your own thing.
That might be working on your own writing project, taking time out for an indulgent massage or walking in the beautiful countryside and trusting that the words will follow.
Support from us: we’re there to help you test, experiment and explore; to encourage you to try new things; and to break through the blocks that are holding you back. We’ll be around to chat when you’re working on your own material, and can give you feedback on your writing, too. You can also spend an hour working 1:1 Joanna, either exploring a piece of writing or working out how to make your writing dreams a reality.
A friendly, informal environment: you’re welcome on our island retreat whether you call yourself a writer or not, whether you work as a writer or ‘just’ write for pleasure, whether you’re tired of writing and want to rekindle your passion and enthusiasm or have always dreamt of writing but never found the confidence and inspiration to do it… until now.
The daily programme will include around two-hours of group conversation, exercises and writing in the morning with free time in the afternoon to do whatever you want (write, siesta, walk, explore, daydream, go shopping), and feedback conversations over a leisurely dinner at night. We’ll organise a half-day trip to the beach during the week, and hope to fit a trip to the local market one morning.
