Wendy, I am sitting down at home with my coffee to ingest all of our manifestations from your Writer Retreat. Thank you deeply and on many levels. I am so grateful to you; and for the amazing and truly transformational week at stunning Domaine de Mournac.

I have been a professional writer for 35 years, yet when I do retreats I tend to go off the grid in solidarity. At Wendy’s writer retreat, I discovered the magic of writing in community with other writers. However, the real magic is how Wendy leads that community. Our week with her was a masterful combination of technical writing coaching, spiritual practises, peer reviews, with plenty of quality solo writing time. Domaine de Mournac is a spectacular venue. The outdoor spaces, inspirational views and ease of access to hiking, and natural swimming locations made the experience a true Mind, Body and Spirit immersion. I can’t wait to hear about the 2025 dates so I can return.

Wendy’s Writers Retreat at the beautiful Domaine de Mournac in southern France came at the perfect time for me. It helped me reconnect with my creative writing and by the end of the week I had a new book formulating in my head with practical steps to take this forward. The daily programme that Wendy designed was inspirational and well-balanced with writing, editing and publishing information and practical exercises, connecting Mind, Body and Spirit. As Wendy promised, all my needs were met so I could focus on my writing; the two chefs Sue and Rob catered for my specific dietary requirements and the food was delicious, fresh and healthy. Wendy’s leadership and caring for all her guests made it a nurturing and joyful experience. Her morning meditations helped clarify my passion and purpose. Setting intentions in the spiral labyrinth and the Line of Clarity exercise, helped me the most. It was all a rich and rewarding experience and I look forward to returning to this magical space in the future. Thank you – deeply – Wendy and your wonderful team of helpers.

Wendy’s Writers Retreat was a life-affirming, total experience at every level – writing, verbal, and non-verbal communication. It was profound, gentle, expansive and great fun. It positively changed my writing persona and my life generally. Every aspect of the week that Wendy put together – not only the author coaching, the writing and the working – but also the social interaction, the self-care, and the transformational, spiritual and intellectual aspects of the week were massaged and encouraged to a high level of thoughtfulness and care. Wendy is a true professional author coach and her personal attention to each of us writers was beyond my expectations. Thus was a personally-rewarding experience for me and my writing. I will return and bring my Australian writer friends, as well as recommend Wendy’s annual retreat to other people.
