writers retreat
​
Step away from the noise and into a space where your creativity can breathe. The She Journeys Writers Retreat is a slow, soulful experience designed for women who write, or long to. Surrounded by nature and nurtured by community, you'll find time to reconnect with your words, explore your voice, and rest deeply. Whether you're starting something new or returning to a long-loved project, this is your invitation to write, reflect, and feel inspired again.

Feedback & Revision Lab
A supportive space to share your work and receive thoughtful, constructive feedback. A chance to polish, rework, and grow.
Morning Meditation and Evening Candlelit Readings
Begin each day with a gentle mindfulness practice designed to ground you and open the creative mind. A peaceful way to ease into your writing flow. End each day by candlelight, listening to fellow writers read their own work, a cherished passage from a favourite book, or something new they have discovered while on retreat. Warm, unpretentious, and full of heart.
