SUMMARY:One-day writing retreat at Vallis Farm with Claire Jefferies
DESCRIPTION:By the end of September\, the back-to-work and school routines are running pretty smoothly\, making it the perfect time to take a day to focus on something you enjoy… \nJoin this one-day writing retreat to give yourself a quiet\, slow-paced day surrounded by nature; perfect for complete creative immersion. This is an opportunity for dedicated writing time\, away from all your daily distractions and obligations. Whether you need complete quiet or the buzz of conversation\, you should find a writing spot in the farmhouse or gardens to suit you. As the sun sets over the farm\, everyone is welcome to wind down from their day of deep focus with a sauna and swim in the outdoor natural pool. \nWho is this writing retreat for?\nYou are welcome if you enjoy writing in any form; if you want to dedicate time to the first chapter of your novel\, draft a podcast script or TV episode\, play with an idea for a children’s story\, or get a poem out of your head and onto the page\, this day can be for you. \nWhat to expect on the day\n• Welcome gathering to help you arrive in the space\n• Guided writing warm-up\n• Delicious breakfast and lunch\, healthy and indulgent snacks\, hot and cold drinks\n• Opportunities to connect with fellow writers\n• Informal salon: a chance to share practices\, discuss writing conundrums\, or get feedback \nBreaks\nYou are welcome to take a walk around the farm or surrounding Vallis Vale. You can also use the yoga room\, available for any kind of exercise! Feel free to bring books\, knitting or whatever else you like to do to relax. \nWho is hosting this retreat?\nClaire Jefferies is a Frome-based writer. She writes stories about a delightful bear called Honey and (by great contrast!) on food politics and culture. She works part-time at Vallis Farm\, so you’ll be welcomed by a host who knows the space well. Claire loves to cook and will be catering for you on the day. \nHow to book\nTickets are £179 and there are just 8 places on this retreat. Payment plans are available to support affordability. \nTo book your space\, enquire about a payment plan or ask a question about the day\, please send an email to Claire: missjefferies@gmail.com
