About the retreat

Our retreats provide an immersive experience for students and tutors alike. They combine teaching in the form of group sessions and personalised individual tutorials with a strong emphasis on peer learning. They are intensive, creative and transformative: time and again, we find these retreats generate accelerated learning, filling students with confidence and purpose. 

By the end of the retreat students will have:
 
•    Strengthened the solid spine of their thesis, and identified all its major points of articulation. 
•    Discovered exactly what to cut and what to boost to turn their thesis into a coherent work that sings.
•    Learned how and where to place their most far-reaching ideas, so the work resonates with meaning for readers. 
•    Better understood the nature and scope of their contribution to a given field of research.
•    Experienced the transformative benefit of immersion - away from the distractions of everyday life, and in the company of a peer group of students who are on the same journey. 
•    Found a clearer sense of who they are as writers, and of how to access their own best creative state.

 

“I have learned so much about how I work, and how I can work if I allow myself  space to be creative, playful even. That productivity isn’t merely about how many  words end up on the page, but the whole process.”
