WRITE TO YOURSELF
AUGUST 2026 a-lamb-ni retreat
Taking place over eight days and seven nights, from August 8th-15th 2026, this extended version of the existing Write To Yourself syllabus is designed specifically with lambs in mind! We’ll be getting straight to the good stuff with prompts, exercises and workshops, plus lots of solo writing time, so that you can really focus on a piece of work your passionate about, and develop it during the week alongside other lovely lambs.
This retreat is for anyone who wants to take a big step back from everyday life and really immerse themselves in the writing process, as well as taking time to rest and restore in the Spanish countryside. All writers are welcome! No matter your experience, background or what you write, this retreat is for you!

“Genuinely one of the best experiences of my life. I found the community I've been desperately craving, and a space where I could be myself enough to write authentically.”

“I think we all found ourselves a little, and were able to leave behind a little of what was no longer serving us as writers. So thank you.”
