Writing retreat
Between March 23rd and April 19th the space at Trealy Farm is dedicated to writing - you can be a complete beginner or already have a project. The idea is to quietly write (lots of spaces to do that including Pavilion with breathtaking views) meet for meals, set intentions, and evening readings.
Each day will start with a meditation, some meditations with horses. Also you can swim in the natural pool and sauna. We have Mary-Jane Holmes as writer in residence offering optional mentoring. MJ is amazing - chief editor at Fish publishing, tutor of Fish memoir course, poet, novelist etc She's also vey good at supporting academic writing. Read more https://mary-janeholmes.com/
Cost is accommodation and food only then optional mentoring @ £45 ph which includes reading up to 5000 words in advance. Non residents can come for £20 per day. For more info email ruth.trealy@btinternet.com and for info on space see thepracticeofthewild.com Trealy is 20 minutes from Abergavenny.
From Maya...
Are you new to writing and want to learn and experiment in a safe group environment? Are you an experienced writer who wants to establish a good routine? Do you want to try new things with your writing and grow confidence in sharing your work?
I'm Maya, author, poet and arts and health practitioner and I hold weekly writing workshops which allow writers of all skill levels to come together and share creative space. I offer a range of prompts, themes and activities which cover different writing forms aimed to push your craft to new and exciting places, whichever level you are starting at!
If you are interested, feel free to drop me a message on WhatsApp at 07841037452. Or come along to St Wherburghs Community Centre, Thursday evenings - 7 - 8:30. The sessions are £10 each or £30 for 4.
