Join us for an experience of a lifetime in this incredible Destination Writing Retreat - Write, workshop, eat, drink, swim, walk, explore, nap, get massages...repeat.
Writer, meet Tuscany!
Bask in the Tuscan sun, explore medieval villages, taste famous wines, take a cooking class, eat local food, meander through olive groves...and write! Inspiration is everywhere in this breathtaking region of Italy. And yes, this is the actual villa!
Our Days Under the Tuscan Sun
Vacations are meant for leisure and travel is meant for exploring. And writing begs for stability and flourishes in community - Our writing retreat will be a beautiful balance of these elements.
• Each day, you will have ample time to write and even read! (a great source of inspiration)
• You will have a 1:1 conference with your writing coach (that's me!) specific to your project
• You will have the chance to workshop your writing (two writing workshops will be held)
• Craft Talks will be given that focus on specific points of writing
• Journal Writing Prompts will be provided for each day of the retreat
• Some afternoons will be left open for exploring the Tuscan Countryside, nearby medieval cities,s and Florence if desired
