Welcome to our Creative Writing Retreat in
spectacular Costa Rica!
spectacular Costa Rica!
We all crave inspiration, once in a while; the time to dream, the space to think, the energy to pour into a creative project. We need to recharge, to reassert belief in ourselves and to reimagine how we see ourselves. We need to laugh, to learn new skills, to be alone when we choose to, to be part of a community when the mood takes us and to reconnect with the natural world. It’s hard to imagine a more perfect place to do all this than in our beautiful Costa Rican eco-lodge in the heart of rainforest. Luna Nueva is a world unto itself. Luxury in nature. A place for new beginnings and fresh discoveries. Come for the writing retreat. Leave with inspiration and memories to last for months and years to come.

Our trip to Costa Rica is fully escorted from the moment you land in San Jose International Airport, so our creative writing retreat is ideal even for people who have not traveled before. Whoever you are, wherever you live, whatever your needs, you’re welcome.

We all lead busy lives, and our own interests often give way under the pressure of family, work, and daily obligations. It ‘s tough to find inspiration – and to stay inspired.

On a creative writing retreat, these challenges fall away. You get to put reality on hold and be the writer you always wanted to be – not [...]

In the last 12 months our international writing retreats have been on hold because… well, we all know.

A writing retreat is the perfect way to explore a new interest, kickstart a creative project or carve out a chunk of time to [...]
Starting to Write
Recently, a parent called to book their child on one of our summer writing camps. At the end of our conversation she said, rather hesitantly, “I’ve always wanted to write, too.
