A time to write – 29th August 2024
This is for you if you are an aspiring writer or content creator with that feeling that your writing needs some TLC. It’s also for you if you are in business or corporate and need scintillating content to match your amazing ideas or products. It’s for you if you’re a successful writer but are feeling a bit jaded and tired after all the chatgpt and AI hysteria.
That was me until I found a way to escape the madness and merge my love of travel, history and writing – into an exclusive writing retreat with like-minded individuals. I usually do these on my own to start or recharge my writing engines!
This is a beta where you are basically a tester for me! This is an in person event!
Overview
Begin the day with a surprising view across the vale to the Scenic Rim. Settle in with a cup of coffee then we make our way to the outdoor studio for an inspiring interactive session of learning and writing, discovering and imagining, and then settle down in a quiet spot writing up a storm, or talking 1:1 with Susan. After a light lunch, we return to the studio for a clarifying chat and Q&A session about the day’s literary focus. After another session, we will wander back to the front deck to watch the sunset with award-winning wines, where you can chat with fellow writers about your project or insights, or simply celebrate the pleasures of the day.
Sounds like a plan?
The Kitchen Table
My home is set in a tranquil oasis about halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Now if this was a luxury retreat, or in an exotic location I would be telling you all about that. Secretly I think this is better, as you can come here without travel, and just join my kitchen table. Like Michelle Obama says, it’s friends around a kitchen table who change the world, or give you direction when you are confused.
We will have light snacks, drinks and lunch that I am having catered, from local places, so that we can concentrate on work, rather than house work!
Nourishment for your Writer’s Soul
This retreat offers a balance of inspiring teachings and space and time to tell your story.
Bestselling author Susan Jagannath has strategies and tactics to get you started, unstuck or finished.
This is the beta for my 4-day writing retreat later in the year. And I am grateful for your help.
Just to clarify: if you are looking for direct feedback on your manuscript, this is part of the retreat. But you will get a chance to book a chat with me!
The Wrap Up
At the end of the day, we will sit out on the deck, watching the sunset with a glass of wine and a cheeseboard. We will share what we created today, and what are plans are going forward.
You will leave relaxed, inspired and with a new purpose and community for your creative life.
