Come join me around the virtual campfire on the cusp of summer, as we immerse ourselves in sensory language and experience.
Have you wanted to get back to a regular writing practice, to feel inspired and in the flow? Do you want to make your writing richer and grounded in the senses?
This 4-day online retreat will do just that.
You may know me here mostly as a poet and sometime essayist, but the exercises given during this retreat are designed to work with your writing practice—be it poetry, fiction, journalling or something in-between.
More than just a writing retreat, you will be offered ways in which to be more present in the body and the senses, as summer rolls out before us.
Summer is a season full of potent magic, ripe with the possibility for creation, where time can both expand and contract, and where experience can be heightened and condensed. Often our lives and our rhythms are different during this time of year, which brings with it a lot of potential. My wish for you is that you come out of this retreat inspired, refreshed, and refocused on your writing goals—be they personal or professional, as the abundance of summer starts unfolding.
(If you’re in the southern hemisphere, you’re very welcome to adapt the exercises to your own season, or return to them later.)
The retreat runs from 28th to 31st of May, 2026.
What’s included
Daily emails, sent out at 8 AM CEST (2 AM Eastern, 11 PM the previous day Pacific) including writing exercises, oracle cards, journalling prompts and in sometimes a guided meditation, a reading, or other optional extras. You are always free to do as much as you like, and follow your inspiration.
Evening Zoom sessions at 8 PM CEST (2 PM Eastern, 11 AM Pacific) there will be a Zoom call of about an hour, where we can share, look at some sensory rich writing together and do some generative writing. Sharing is always optional, and if you cannot make one or more of the calls, an email with any exercises and writing examples will be sent out each evening. Calls will not be recorded in order to preserve the campfire atmosphere of realtime gathering.
Your investment
You’ll get the most out of the retreat if you are able to set aside a couple of hours per retreat day to immerse yourself in the exercises and attend at least some of the live calls. However, it is designed to be flexible, and you can always go back to the emails later.
The retreat is priced on a sliding scale in order to keep it accessible, though all tiers will have access to exactly the same content.
Supporter tier: 70 €
Regular price: 50 €
Paid subscribers: 40 €
Low income tier: 30 €

Too much time, and too little.
