The Untethered Writer Retreat

 

There is a distinct difference between wanting to write and actually having the space to do so.

​

Too often, our best ideas, memories, and personal stories stay locked inside, buried under the whirlwind of daily routines, endless screens and perhaps that nerve-wracking first blank page. We tell ourselves we’ll get to them someday, when life slows down…

​

The Untethered Writer was created to give you that someday, right now.

​

This retreat is designed for anyone carrying words inside them, whether you call yourself an author, a visionary, or simply someone using writing as a path to healing.

​

What to Expect:

​

• We bypass the intimidating blank page before the pen ever touches paper. You'll start by hand-crafting your own journal, yours to use throughout the retreat and take home after.

• Draft in the Dark Ceremony: Gather for an evening circle ceremony. a safe, supportive ritual to melt away self-doubt and release heavy (unhelpful) personal narratives.

• Enjoy mornings of meditation and free writing, an expansive winter walk on the Sunday, and delicious meals cooked each day to keep you nourished from the inside.

• This is a non-competitive, non-judgemental container of folks. There is no requirement to publish or prove yourself, just space to let your voice roam free.

• A blend of guided and self-curated sessions throughout. ​

 

Whether you have a long-buried project waiting to surface, a life transition to process, or simply a deep craving to unplug and make sense of your inner landscape, your voice belongs in this circle.

​

 You’ve carried the story long enough in the dark. It’s time to bring it to light.

​

    What to bring :

​

• Clothes and shoes suitable for a winter walk

• Any writing tools you already use (laptops/writing pads/notebook pens)

• Books/passages/poems which have influenced you (a tough set to curate I appreciate)

• Any of your own writing work you’d like to share.

• Comfy clothes for the daytime sessions, socks/slippers for the indoor spaces are suggested.

• A torch for navigating the croft at night.

• A towel
