In Bali’s lush paradise, Jenny Wynter brings you a whirlwind of guided writing sessions, delightful activities, and more laughs than you can shake a pen at. You’ll leave with a head full of new ideas, cheeks sore from smiling, and a notebook full of words and inspiration to keep your cup well and truly overflowing.
Picture this: dedicated writing time and activities to fire up your creativity, alongside massages, snorkelling and laughs a-plenty: because creativity works best when it’s having fun!
A genuinely life changing experience. Jenny holds everyone gently and expertly. You will come away from this retreat refreshed, nourished, confident and a better writer than when you arrive. If given the choice I would never leave.

Jenny's a beautiful human with an extensive knowledge of all things creative. It's impossible to leave a session without feeling excited, happy and inspired. Recommend for anyone. It's opened doors for me I didn't even realise were there. Thank you.

...such a wonderful experience. Apart from the writing exercises, creative mindset work, and getting brave enough to share my writing with others, I enjoyed belly laughs! Jenny was an expert and fun facilitator and the group were so supportive...writing is again part of my everyday life. I’ve started to work purposely on my writing, which is that goal I set every year and never get around to.
