Hiya!
One of the things keeping me positive after losing my entire Substack publication was focusing on my first-ever in-person event of a creative writing retreat in France!
If you’ve been here a while, you might remember that I visited Rêve Retreat in the Limousin countryside last summer for a co-working holiday. I loved it so much that I’m returning with my family this summer.
But come September? I’m going back solo and I’d love you to join me.
Not knowing what to say, how to show up, or when to find the time are some of the biggest struggles in our working life.
And I believe that creative writing is a powerful way through that.
I’ve teamed up with Gemma & James, the lovely humans behind Rêve and now good pals, to create a programme just for us.
Short version…
🧠 A creative writing retreat
📍 In the tranquil Limousin countryside of France
📅 5th–8th September 2025
🥗 With delicious food, cosy nooks to write in, and space to do as much or as little as you want
This retreat is for creators, service providers and self-employed souls whether you’re shaping your next book, starting a Substack, or simply craving time to think and write.
You’ll receive workshops, prompts, a 30-minute one-to-one session with me, and plenty of optional activities to tailor the experience to you.
