  Writing Retreats

one to one Writing Retreat at Phoenix Nest, near Brighton 

‘Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to dive deep into my writing these past few days. I’ve written more in these two and a half days than I ever have before. Your food is incredible, your flexibility as a hostess and the lovely mermaid room contributed to a meaningful and prolific time here.’ Sian Johnson Sex Therapist

Do you want some time out to dream, vision and write – and be nourished with delicious food in a cosy, vibrant environment? 
I would love to welcome to at PHOENIX NEST at Saltdean, near Brighton!

About Writing Retreats: 

Whether you are a budding writer or have been writing all of your life, you are warmly welcome at Phoenix Nest! 

Maybe you are pondering a new project, need to choose between several ideas, are keen to get over writer’s block, dig out an old draft and finally finish it or edit that tenth draft…. 

Anything you write, or plan to write, is welcome. And as a writing coach and an author of two published historic novels I am here to support you! 

I won’t read, edit or critique your work, but we will have space to explore any burning aspects of the process that come up for you, such as procrastination, writer’s block, too much material, difficulties completing, where to next etc. 

You will have plenty of time to write for yourself in a nourishing, comfortable environment and also receive individual attention from me in the form of coaching, and if wished, embodied tools such as ‘writing from the body’ exercises or a breathwork session. 

And of course, lots of informal chats!  

Phoenix Nest and the surrounding gentle hills of the South Downs and the sea are beautiful environments that will deeply nourish you. I can point you to local walks- horses, sheep and two llamas are just a short stroll away.

Phoenix Nest is in a col-de-sac and the South Downs path runs from the end of the road- and there are lovely places at the local beach. 

 Example of a two night/three day writing retreat: 

Day 1:

  • Arrival in the afternoon from 3pm.
  • Orientation and settling in at Phoenix Nest and surrounding
  • Intro coaching session with me one to one- intentions for your time here, focus on your writing project or how to begin.
  • Dinner around 7pm
  • chilling out and, if you like, ‘ask the author’ informal chat re. writing, publishing etc

Day 2 :

  • breakfast (you help yourself from buffet)
  • writing time, or however you would like to use the time

I have some flexibility with timings around lunch and dinner and can accommodate special food requirements. 

I feel so much more calm, peaceful and energised. The energy here has inspired many chapters for my book. Eva is  lovely and welcoming and the food is delicious.’ Kirsty Yogini
