I invite you to join me for a writing retreat on Bornholm and to undertake a pilgrimage of identity based on the mysticism of inditing.
Our journey together will enable you to uncover the art form based on written language that enables you to give voice to the truths that dwell in your heart.
A taster writing retreat is a week-long stay, 7 nights, in eco-friendly Yggdrasil Guest Lodge on Bornholm. Retreats usually start on a Saturday at 15.00, but other days and times are possible according to availabilities in the guest lodge.
There is the possibility of doing a mini-retreat of three full days, 4 nights, starting on the day of your choice.
You will have your own room, a spacious room for relaxing and writing, with direct access on to the terrace and into the gardens and neighbouring fields. The bathrooms are close to the rooms and you will be allocated a private bathroom with shower, washbasin and toilet.
All meals and snacks are included in the retreat package. Meals are simple: vegetarian with local organic products or produced in Denmark. Vegan options possible. Alcoholic beverages are not included. Locally brewed beers and organic wine can be purchased from the guest lodge.
Retreat guests have full access to the kitchen, the meditation hall (the Abbey) and library, and the laundry facilities. There is excellent internet coverage throughout the property.
Writing projects often need ample time and space. What’s more our writing ambitions don’t take kindly to time constraints, short-term deadlines and all the usual outer pressures we meet in our daily life. This is why we need to take time off, extract ourselves from our busy lives and distractions, and gift ourselves with a generous outer and inner space to follow our ambitions.
Writing residences are the ideal option for in-depth work.
You can either book a month-long stay with or without full board, or for longer stays (minimum three months) rent a room on a monthly basis and contribute to tending to the intentional community.
A writing retreat based on contemplative practices invites you to step out of tightly designed programmes, and to let go of any agenda and all expectations. It is essentially, and by nature, a quiet time for indulging in stillness and silence, honouring the simple and mundane, and welcoming the portal or the gateway beckoning you to the next iteration in your life.
The only fixed feature is the daily 30-minute meditation held between 7.45 and 8.15 in the Abbey. There is no obligation to attend and retreat guests are welcome to sit in the meditation circle whenever they feel called to do so.
Breakfast is available from 7.30 to 9.30. Lunch is served between 12.00 and 13.30 depending on activities (packed lunches are available). Evening meals are served between 18.00 and 19.00 again depending on activities.
Retreat guests are welcome to join in with the preparation of the meals and to take part in the tasks and duties of caring for an intentional community.
Together, we define how we want to spend our time together and how you want to work on your writing project.
Contact me using the form below indicating when you would like to come. In a few words, tell me what is calling you to Bornholm. I’ll get back to you suggesting a date and time for a call to discuss the specifics.
You can book a week-long retreat throughout the year. Please be aware that the summer period, from mid-June to mid-September, is a very busy time on Bornholm: the population is ten times as much as in the quieter season. Personally, I recommend the period from 1 October to Easter for a true contemplative retreat in quietness and stillness.
