Booking a writing retreat is self-care. You’ll spend two days with understanding, welcoming and supportive humans who will encourage your creativity and allow you to nourish yourself in the best way possible. Finish that chapter! Start that chapter! Dream a poem into being! Or plan out that essay. And don't worry if you've never written before, Kerry will be there for support and advice.
Evening social events are optional. Your time is your own and you shape your retreat to suit you. So what are you waiting for?

Retreats are notoriously expensive so WLAG has worked hard to make this two-day retreat affordable. You will book accommodation of your choice which matches your budget. On booking the retreat, you’ll be sent suggestions of where you can stay. Folkestone offers a range of wonderful accommodation from budget to luxe.
Lunch with vegan/veg options both days, coffee and tea & biscuits, and a one-to-one session with Kerry are included in the retreat cost. You’ll be guided through gentle writing sprints on Saturday & Sunday and leave the retreat with a clear idea of how to write through the summer and into Autumn!
