WHO: I’m looking for ten writing women, to share a fabulous old hotel ‘with a twist’, wonderful meals, voices, laughter and silences. Perhaps you dream of writing but don’t know where to start, or you already write but struggle to find time or motivation.

WHAT: This retreat gives you the opportunity to put you, and your writing first. We use ‘writing practice’, a method developed by Natalie Goldberg. In this process there is no critical feedback, just writing and reading. We simply go deeply into the writing experience inspired by the community we create to take risks we would never take alone.

WHERE: The Midland http://www.themidland.com.au/ is a small family run hotel in the Central Victorian Goldfields town of Castlemaine. It is directly opposite the train station making it a convenient and affordable journey from Melbourne. http://www.vline.com.au/index.aspx?sid=0

WHY: To write, daydream and be pampered, to be with other women writers and hear your voice amongst theirs

WHEN: October 15- 18, 2009

FACILITATOR: Sandra Watson is a Castlemaine resident who has facilitated writing groups and retreats around the world most recently in Mexico and Connecticut USA. She does not teach writing, but has a passion for bringing together women and creating a space for creativity and change.

COST: $450 for a single room/shared bathroom for the weekend, inclusive of all food. All fees are refundable up to two weeks before the retreat minus a $35 processing fee - they are not refundable after that. If you cancel the day before the retreat you are responsible for the entire cost of the weekend. You are responsible for your own travel arrangements
