It has been a heavy and unsettling start to the year for the writing community, and for many affected by the recent bushfires in Victoria. If you’re feeling flat, scattered, or unsure where to focus your creative energy, you’re not alone.
Amid all of this, I want to offer a gentle invitation to reconnect with what matters most: your writing, your creativity, and your inner calm. My 2026 writing retreats provide a supportive, inspiring space to do exactly that.
Updated 2026 writing retreat dates
The retreat originally scheduled for 28 May – 1 June will now take place 25 – 29 June.
“Retreat with Meg at gorgeous Karma Kinglake was an incredible experience, far exceeding my expectations. I loved having my own cottage, delicious meals and the opportunity to attend workshops and coaching. It helped me focus on my writing goals without distractions.”
— Karen Pleskus, Emerging Writer
