The Australasian Association of Writing Programs (AAWP)* is delighted to announce a new collaboration with The Writer’s Way retreats – immersive experiences designed to (re)connect writers with creativity, presence, and purpose. 

Set in the spectacular Blackall Range of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast hinterland, The Writer’s Way welcomes writers of all backgrounds – creative, academic, and professional – to a retreat founded in mindfulness, not as theory, but as practice.  

At The Writer’s Way retreats, you’ll explore meditative, contemplative, and reflective practices intended to deepen your connection to yourself as a writer, refine your creative process, and potentially, elevate the quality of your work.  Whether you’re seeking a physical escape, a mental reset, or a spiritual (re)treat to strengthen your sense of purpose, The Writer’s Way provides a perfect setting, a tranquil space to (re)discover the joy of writing. 

With limited places available, the next retreat runs 29 May – 1 June 2025.
