Wild Writing: Fresh Adventure

July 12, 2027 - July 16, 2027

Description

We are delighted to welcome back to Kilmalieu Jane Walters to lead what promises to be an inspiring week. Jane is a wonderful writer, all-round creative and Chair of the Association of Christian Writers. She has published several books, is a writer for radio and creator of devotional material for BRF Ministries. However, her great passion is in enabling others to explore writing, by facilitating writing groups and running writing retreats.

If you are a complete beginner or interested to commit some first tentative words to a page, this retreat is for you. Likewise, if you are a seasoned writer who is looking to hone your skills and have space for your own writing, this is for you!

Within the context of a rhythm of morning and evening devotions and in a supportive and encouraging environment, each morning Jane will lead a series of informal, interactive and fun sessions, both indoors and out. During the afternoon you will be encouraged to either explore the wonders of nature in the hills, woodland and coastline of Kilmalieu – or write.

All sessions are optional, so if you are just looking for a peaceful space to write, that’s fine. There will be opportunities for sharing experiences and insights with others, but there is no expectation or pressure to do so. You will also be offered one-to-one time with Jane.

Situated on the shores of Loch Linnhe, Kilmalieu enjoys a stunning Highland setting. This beautifully renovated eighteenth-century hunting lodge offers comfortable single, twin and family rooms, alongside homemade food that is consistently praised by guests.

During your stay, you will have access to the library, art room, lounge, chapel, games room, labyrinth and gym, as well as the extraordinary landscape that surrounds us.
