Te Wahi Ora Women’s Writing Weekends

We are pleased to confirm our Women’s Writing Weekend dates for 2023 with our experienced facilitator Hilary Star.

RETREAT #1 – WOMEN’S WRITING WEEKEND 10-12 February
RETREAT #2 – WOMEN’S WRITING WEEKEND 5-7 May
RETREAT #3 – WOMEN’S WRITING WEEKEND 1-3 September
RETREAT #4 – WOMEN’S WRITING WEEKEND 8-10 December

Come to one, two or more!  These weekends are very popular so please book early!

The weekends provide a chance to continue, or finish, some writing you’ve been working on for ages; or come and be inspired to write something that is on your heart and which wants to find its voice!

Programme

The weekend commences with dinner at 6pm on the Friday night where Hilary will introduce us to the weekend’s programme.

On Saturday at 9.30am we meet for an hour and Hilary inspires us into our writing by her inspirational meditation and thoughts on a particular aspect of the value of writing!   We then go off and do our own thing – enjoying lunch together at 12.30pm.

Saturday, before dinner we share our writings with each other if we choose to or say something about how the day has been for us.

We end the weekend, listening to each others writings after lunch on Sunday, and leave around 2.30pm for home!

Price for Women’s Writing Weekend (Residential):
The normal weekend room rate plus $30 each day as a Koha to Hilary for her amazing facilitation of our Writing Weekends
