About this event

Family & Education • Education

March always arrives louder than expected.Emails escalate.Supervisors start talking timelines.And your calendar — the one you thought had room — suddenly doesn’t.

You’re not behind.You’re just surrounded.

The March Online Writing Retreat isn’t a productivity push.It’s a pause. A reorientation.A single day of focused, supported writing with people who get it.

No word-count shaming
No group introductions
No over-hyped “you’ve got this” energy

Just structure.Company.And time — the kind you don’t have to defend or multitask your way through.

If your brain’s been split across tabs, this is the day to bring it back to the page.

Frequently asked questions

WHAT IF I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IN WEEKS?

You’re not the only one. This retreat helps you pick up the thread — without judgment or performance.

DO I NEED TO HAVE ATTENDED A RETREAT BEFORE?

Nope. First-timers are always welcome. The structure is clear, accessible, and easy to settle into.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Whatever supports your writing: laptop, notes, warm drink, reference lists. I’ll guide you through prep in advance.

WILL IT BE RECORDED?

No. This space is designed for presence, not playback.
