6-Day Writing, Meditation, and Digital Detox Retreat in Wales

This retreat is more than just a writing getaway; it is an immersive experience designed to reconnect you with your inner voice and the natural world. Set in an 18th-century rectory on the slopes of Angel Mountain, the retreat overlooks the wild North Pembrokeshire coastline, just a mile from the sea. The serene setting, combined with a carefully crafted program, provides the ideal conditions for creative work and personal reflection.

The daily schedule includes morning meditation, one-to-one tutorials, group feedback sessions, and dedicated independent writing time. Guests are invited to unplug from technology and embrace a digital detox, which helps deepen focus and enhances overall well-being. Periods of silence are woven into the day, creating space for introspection and a deeper connection to the writing voice.

Nourishing meals are provided by chef Martin Simcock, who creates delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes using local, seasonal ingredients. The retreat also offers optional activities such as cold sea swims and mindful movement, encouraging guests to connect with the stunning coastal environment. Evenings are spent reading, journaling, and sharing by the fire, fostering a warm sense of community.

This retreat is for anyone seeking dedicated time to work on a writing project, explore new ideas, or simply get back in touch with their creative and natural self. It is open to writers of all genres and levels, as well as creatives in other modalities who wish to explore self-expression. The small group size ensures personalized attention and a supportive, friendly atmosphere.
