Upcoming Writing Retreats

Highlights

5 nights in a beautiful private Provençal villa

Daily writing workshops led by award-winning authors

Personalized feedback in one-on-one editorial sessions 

Hands-on culinary experience with local produce

Curated excursions: winery tour; market visit and nature hike

Space and time to reconnect with your creative self

Every moment guided with care by your on-site retreat hosts—present to support, connect, and share the journey.

What to expect

Our small group of writers gathers each day amidst vineyards, olive groves, and the quiet rhythm of nearby horses for a focused three-hour workshop.

Afternoons are yours—to write in peaceful corners, unwind, or join optional village excursions designed to spark creativity: visit a local vineyard and winery, stroll colorful Provençal markets, and join a nature walk along cypress-lined paths and through sunlit olive groves.

Evenings invite connection: we share fresh pages over dinner—sometimes cooking together, sometimes enjoying the best of local cuisine—and turn daily progress into relaxed, inspiring conversation.

Each participant receives a private 1-hour editorial session to gain clarity and momentum on their project.
