Facilitated writing retreats for academics

Do you want to create protected time for a group of academics to write, think, and reconnect with their work?

I design and facilitate 3-5-day writing retreats for academic groups, research communities, and peers who want focused time away from everyday demands. Retreats combine substantial independent writing time with goal-setting and accountability, peer feedback, and facilitated reflection, helping participants make meaningful progress while also creating a supportive temporary writing community.

Departments and research centres can commission a retreat, or a group of colleagues can organise it independently.

A retreat can be especially useful when…

• faculty need protected time away from everyday demands to move substantial writing projects forward

• participants would benefit from structure and accountability while still having plenty of independent writing time

• you want to strengthen intellectual community and create opportunities for meaningful peer feedback

“Faith was an incredibly competent facilitator, attentive to each of our personalities and needs.”

“It was lovely to be in community with people I consider peers and friends. I find their feedback on my work really generative and valuable, and I enjoy their company!”
