Escape for 5 nights and 5 days to Canada’s historic South Shore with hosts Nataschia Wielink and Christine Flynn for a cozy winter women’s writing retreat designed to give you the focus time you need to make meaningful progress on your writing. Whether you are outlining a new project, trying to finish a first draft, or simply need a quiet place and unlimited tea while you work through edits, this is the intimate retreat you’ve been looking for. 

Enjoy crisp sheets, stunning views, and plenty of quiet time in our luxurious accommodations. We’ll gather for nourishing meals, talk through our projects, and exchange ideas. You’ll have the option to go on guided village walks, visit the nearby Nordic Spa, or meet at Nova Scotia’s oldest pub for a pint in the evenings. Eliminate distractions, tap into your creativity and discover your own potential.

Prices are based on a single-occupancy private room. The price per person ranges from $2000 + HST to $3100 + HST, depending on the room. The ticket price is your deposit only.
