January Online Writing Retreat for PhD students

January arrives differently.It doesn’t kick the door down — it lingers in corners.Cold. Quiet. More “where was I again?” than “let’s go.”

After the break, everything feels… slower.You’ve rested (hopefully). You’ve reset (sort of).And now your brain is creaking back into research mode — still stiff, still foggy, but ready for something gentle.

This is what the January Online Writing Retreat is for.

No “New Year, New Goals” agenda.No high-pressure hustle.Just one day of quiet structure, deep focus, and a shared table of PhD students also finding their footing again.

You’ll write in real time.You’ll remember how to move ideas from head to page.And by the end of the day, you’ll feel your research muscles re-engaging — without needing to prove anything to anyone.
