Writing Courses, Holidays & Retreats
in Costa Rica
Welcome to our Creative Writing Retreats in Spectacular Costa Rica!
We all crave inspiration in today’s hectic world: the freedom to dream, the space to think, the time to focus on creating rather than consuming. We need to recharge and re-imagine how we see ourselves. To laugh, learn new skills, be alone when we choose to and be part of a community when the mood takes us. To reconnect with the natural world, and re-assert our connection to it.
It’s hard to imagine a more perfect place to satisfy these needs than beautiful Costa Rica. Join us for a creative writing retreat in sunny Quepos, a coastal town close to the famous Manuel Antonio National Park. Or, if rainforest serenity and immersion is more your vibe, choose a beautiful eco-lodge in the heart of Arenal National Park. Have two weeks to spare? Then take part in both weeks and enjoy two very different sides of Costa Rica.
Our creative writing retreats are not only informational – they are transformational.

On retreats like these you quickly meet like-minded people, making them ideal for those travelling alone.
