About this event

Family & Education • Education

By October, the adrenaline is gone.

You’re in it now.The reading lists are multiplying.The supervision emails are stacking.And that chapter you meant to start weeks ago? Still blinking at you from the corner of your screen.

This retreat isn’t about catching up.It’s about making a single day actually count — for something that matters to you.

Inside the October retreat, you’ll find:

  • Protected writing time (no multitasking, no guilt)
  • A supportive space without performative pressure
  • Real-time momentum with fellow PhD students who get the grind

You won’t need to explain why you’ve been behind.Or pretend that you're “fine.”

You just show up.And write.Together — but at your own pace.

There’ll be enough structure to keep you focused.Enough flexibility to meet you where you are.

🔗 Want more regular writing support?

Find me at PhD Progress Weekly on Substack or over on LinkedIn — where we make research feel a little more human.

Frequently asked questions

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

Just yourself, your project, and whatever helps you write best. After registering, you’ll get a prep email with ideas to get the most from the retreat.

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE OF GROUP WRITING?

Nope. I’ll walk everyone through the flow. The space is structured for you, not for performance.

CAN I ASK QUESTIONS ?

Absolutely. There are plenty of moments to ask, reflect, and recalibrate. You’re not on mute unless you want to be.

WILL IT BE RECORDED?

No. We keep this space live and in-the-moment — so everyone can show up fully without worrying about playback or presentation.
