The retreat offers a unique opportunity to break away from the distractions of university life and immerse yourself in focused, productive writing time, all while enjoying the calming surroundings of nature and the support of fellow PhD students. You’ll have uninterrupted time to focus on your writing while being guided by two experienced writing coaches who will help you develop strategies to move past common challenges and will also be available for one-on-one sessions. While the daytime hours are dedicated to intensive writing, the evenings will feature fun and relaxing activities designed to help you recharge and enjoy the company of other colleagues.
What to expect:
- 📚 Productive writing sessions (with and without our coaches)
- ☕ Unlimited coffee/tea
- 🍫 Snack breaks
- 👥 Brainstorming together
- 🌲 Relaxing downtime in nature (or for napping)
