Final retreat spot now open: June 2026

The Transform Your Writing fiction intensive retreat is back in 2026, but this time over a long weekend – three nights and days of writing, learning, practising, daring, relaxing, and eating.

Next dates for this retreat: 5-8 June 2026

This retreat was booked out, but one place has just become available.

This intensive fiction retreat is fully residential in beautiful Hepburn Springs, Victoria.

Each day features craft masterclasses, writing exercises, activities, and discussion.

We will have our own writing time including Shut Up and Write sessions (writing sprints) together, and you will have time to sit quietly and scribble, read, think or daydream.

You’ll have the chance to read your work aloud at our evening salon if you wish.

When we’re not learning, writing or eating, you can walk in the bush, spot wildlife, book a massage, have a nap, or write/read on the deck or in the library.

The welcome session is on Friday evening before dinner, and the retreat runs through to late afternoon Monday (a public holiday in Victoria).

Read a full outline of the weekend, venue, inclusions, and details.

You can pay a deposit to secure your spot, and pay the balance later.

NOTE: We will not be at Continental House this time, as it’s still under renovation. But we will be in lovely cosy Hepburn Springs accommodation.
