About the event
Started a project and need some dedicated time and space to write? Need some accountability and support? Want some feedback on something you are working on?
Come to Kāpiti and enjoy an intimate residential weekend of writing and conversation surrounded by nature and like-minded people.
The weekend opens with a shared potluck dinner and a writing exercise with award-winning fiction writer and tutor, Pip Adam. Begin and end each day with a group check-in facilitated by Pip. If you're looking for more support, you can register for a 1:1 to discuss your work or review feedback on a piece of writing.
During the rest of the weekend, you can focus on your writing in one of the many writing spaces available onsite, walk to the nearby Waikanae river or beach and discuss all things writing with other writers.
The Retreat is designed to be residential however, we do have a small number…
