Service Description
Retreat & Create: A Women's Writing Retreat in Eryri 4 days and 3 nights to connect with your inner well of creativity. Imagine time stretching. The weight of a hundred daily decisions lifting. The many roles you carry—set gently down for a while. Inspired and guided by the wild Welsh mountains, we're gathering a small circle of Women writers for a retreat where you can step away from the demands of everyday life, into a safe, cosy, and nurturing space created to support your creative unfolding. This is an opportunity to shed your many hats, enter your own private sanctuary, and immerse yourself fully in nature, yourself and your writing. What to expect: Wild landscapes to ground, inspire and awaken A deeper connection to your senses, creativity and presence Your own private room—a sanctuary of solitude and rest Spacious days designed around immersion in your creative work Circle time to explore stuck points, breakthroughs and creative questions Process-tracking within a supportive community of fellow writers A warm, welcoming space Arrival Wednesday 2nd September | 4pm–6pm We'll begin with an opening circle, intention setting, supper, orientation, meditation, and time to settle and unwind.
