A retreat that's fully focused on supporting anyone going through this uniquely personal experience. 1st - 8th May

The time, the space, the writing tools and nurturing support allows the imagination to run free in the rolling hills of Umbria. Aga takes guests through aspects of character, plot, narrative and now screenwriting elements too. Plus massages, pilates and nourishing food to take care of your body as you write. 12th - 18th May
