in the Magical City of Merida, Mexico!
There are times in our lives when we crave new sights and sounds. Fresh sources of inspiration. Unexpected encounters. Moments of awe and delight. We long for the kinds of friendships that can only emerge from shared interests. We dream of an altered perspective of self, based on the absorption of new experiences, skills and ideas.
If this sounds familiar, and you love to write, then join us for a special 7-day retreat experience.
It’s difficult to imagine a place more transformative than the cultural city of Merida, located in the heart of the Yucatan, Mexico. If the Yucatan conjures up images of the mega resorts around Cancun, think again. Merida is three hours and a world away. It’s a city that heaves with Mayan and colonial Spanish history. A city filled with glorious architecture and packed with culture. Roam at will through neighbourhoods of mint green, sherbet pink and bright peach facades that seem plucked from a fairy-tale. People-watch in the exotic markets, or choose a patio on which to write, sipping a margarita and watching the world go by.
In the heart of the city, behind old stone walls warmed by the sun, lies the colonial edifice of Luz En Yucatan – our boutique hotel for the week. Luz is an oasis of calm and tranquility where you will find nooks and crannies in which to write, an appealing little pool, Mexican tiles and Mayan-style ornamentation, trailing flowers and the perfect environment in which to live, learn and write.
Join us for an experience of a lifetime at our creative writing retreat in Merida, Mexico.
