Writing retreats

Break away from daily commitments & distractions and kickstart your writing project! Protected writing time and a group dedicated to a shared goal create optimal conditions for focused work with fast progress. Let’s disrupt the usual (unproductive) routines and open a window for sustainable change!

Participants feedback

“

Great balanced program of writing, short lectures and breaks. Individual coaching session was super helpful as well.

“

The motivation from the teacher, the peer pressure, and the regular breaks helped me focus on just writing. I could get so much more done than I usually would!

“

I have been incredibly impressed by the progress: I have a solid thesis structure and 7000 words where before there was nothing except a few “Post-Its” flying around.
