Bali Writing Retreat - September 15th 2025

Discover Your Creative Self in Paradise:

Embrace Your Inner Writer at Our Women’s Five-Day Writing Retreat in Kuta, Bali!

Are you a woman over fifty yearning to reconnect with your creative
spirit and explore the joy of writing? Our transformative Five-day
Writing Retreat in the vibrant heart of Kuta, Bali, is designed
specifically for women like you who are ready to embark on a journey of
self-discovery and creative awakening.

Led by our nurturing author, editor, and writing coach Vanessa McKay,
this urban retreat provides a supportive and empowering space for women
to tap into their creativity and develop a deep love for the craft of
writing. Vanessa understands the unique challenges and aspirations of
women over fifty and will help you break through the barriers that have
held you back, guiding you towards a fulfilling writing practice.

Immerse yourself in the colourful tapestry of Kuta, where you’ll find
inspiration in the vibrant local markets, savour the flavours of
Balinese cuisine, and absorb the infectious energy of this iconic
destination. Our retreat offers the perfect balance of cultural
exploration and tranquil sanctuary, allowing you to nourish your mind,
body, and soul. Beyond the writing sessions, you’ll have the opportunity
to unwind with rejuvenating yoga and meditation sessions designed to
enhance your creativity, indulge in soothing massages, and explore the
healing power of visual art.

The itinerary is tailored to provide a gentle and supportive introduction to the world of
writing. Through workshops, fun writing exercises, and
nurturing group activities, Vanessa will guide you in exploring various
forms of creative expression. You’ll discover the joy of putting pen to
paper, develop confidence in your unique voice, and cultivate a love for
the written word that will enrich your life long after the retreat
ends.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll be part of a supportive sisterhood of
women who share your passion for self-discovery and creative growth.
Together, you’ll celebrate each other’s successes, offer encouragement,
and forge lasting friendships that will support you on your writing
journey.

The benefits of this retreat extend far beyond the five days you’ll
spend with us in Kuta. You’ll return home with a renewed sense of
purpose, a toolkit of practical techniques to keep your creativity
flowing, and the confidence to embrace your inner writer. You will also
gain a deeper understanding of the importance of self-care in the
creative process and learn how to integrate writing into your daily life
as a means of personal growth and fulfillment.

Don’t let fear or self-doubt hold you back any longer. Join us in
Kuta, Bali, for a transformative five-day writing retreat designed
specifically for women over fifty who are ready to rediscover their
creative self and fall in love with the magic of writing. Embrace this
opportunity to invest in yourself, nurture your creativity, and embark
