Write Nights Virtual Winter Retreat

Write Nights Virtual Retreat

An online writing retreat could be all Zoom Doom or a Turgid Teams Trap… but not this one! This virtual retreat is designed to be joyful, connected and as offline as possible - using our online time together wisely & well.

Across the weekend (from Friday to Sunday afternoon) you’ll have:

• A warm welcome and friendly support all weekend
• Small, guided group sessions
• Content built on practical, proven approaches, designed to unlock your writing confidence.
• Generous time to write alone - stay quiet in your own space, or head out into the world.
• Time together to read and hear each other.
• Optional Rise & Write morning meditations.
• No pressure - just space to write and be heard if you want to be.

All abilities and stages welcome (and we mean that completely!)

Some of the best writing that happens at Write Nights comes from people who'd never considered themselves writers before they arrived. There are no exam questions here – no right answers or right writing. Write Nights is built on the belief that everyone can write expressively, creatively, imaginatively… our speciality is creating the environment that draws that out.

If you used to write… and life kind of happened - this is for you. Maybe you had a notebook once. Maybe you were the one who wrote the poems, before work, kids or lifestuff took over. This weekend won't ask you to pick up where you left off.  It gives you room to find out what's still in there and where you can take it.

If you've never dared to call yourself a writer - this is for you too. Maybe you've always wondered, quietly. Maybe you need some practice and confidence to take those first steps. You don't need experience, or the right words yet. You need a weekend and some space to let your words breathe.

Ways you can do this:

• Alone for the weekend – Find a space. Plump the couch cushions. Clear your desk. Warm up the garden shed. get the candles & the blankets going, treat yourself.
• With a friend – Cosy up for the weekend somewhere (with good WiFi) and write together.
• With a group of friends – want to write together? We can offer you your own virtual break out room for coffee and catch ups across the weekend.

What you will leave with:

• The ability to free write and try different styles of writing
• A love of your writing voice
• Inspiration from and connection to others
• 2 – 3 pieces of new an original writing
