“FIND YOUR VOICE” A Wellness Writing Retreat
SUMMARY & SLIDESHOW…
“Find Your Voice” – A Women’s Writing Retreat in Provence
NO WRITING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED —Just curiosity and a willingness to be heard.
For centuries, Provence has captivated writers, painters, and dreamers with its luminous light, its lavender fields, and its hushed early-morning stillness. This is a region where time slows down—where you can finally hear yourself think, feel, imagine, and write.
This intimate sojourn invites you to step into the landscape that inspired M.F.K. Fisher, Peter Mayle, and generations of artists who came to Provence seeking clarity and found themselves transformed. You’ll be treating yourself to a rejuvenating week in the sun-soaked heart of southern France, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and the unmistakable warmth of Provençal culture.
You’ll unpack your bags at a stunning villa in a quiet hilltop village and settle into the rhythms of French country life. From here, you’ll take gentle day trips through the region—exploring bustling outdoor markets, medieval streets lined with pastel shutters, and the same valleys where writers once came to wrestle with their stories and reimagine their lives. You’ll savor fresh, healthy French meals, sip rosé under the plane trees, and spend your afternoons in workshops led by celebrated author and teacher Charlotte Gullick, who specializes in helping women uncover their deepest truths on the page.
This retreat is designed for women seeking renewal, courage, and connection—whether you’ve been writing for years or simply feel a tug to finally listen to your own voice. Provence becomes both backdrop and teacher: its light, its slowness, and its beauty all draw you inward toward the story you’ve been waiting to tell.
RETREAT HIGHLIGHTS
You’ll be based in a serene Provençal villa overlooking vineyards and villages. Staying in one place allows you to settle in, exhale, and make yourself at home—no repacking, no rushing, just space to breathe and write. Each day offers optional activities so you can shape the retreat to suit your own needs—creative, restorative, or both. Highlights include:
• Daily workshops & guided writing sessions
Learn from author Charlotte Gullick as she leads you through memoir, personal storytelling, and identity-focused writing practices.
• Sharing circles that build community
A safe, supportive group of women who listen, encourage, and honor each other’s stories.
• Excursions to nearby Provençal villages
Wander cobblestone lanes, browse local boutiques, explore historic churches, and experience the charm that defines the region.
• Market visits & culinary experiences
Shop at traditional outdoor markets bursting with produce, cheeses, flowers, and local life. Enjoy fresh, family-style meals prepared at the villa.
• Optional wine tasting in local vineyards
Learn about Provence’s iconic rosés and sample wines produced just steps from where you’re staying.
• Gentle walks through lavender fields & countryside
Take easy guided strolls through the landscapes that have inspired writers and painters for generations.
• Ample free time
Lounge by the pool, journal under the olive trees, join a casual cooking class, explore a nearby village, or simply rest.
This week in Provence is more than a trip—it’s a space to reconnect with your inner life, to rediscover your creativity, and to step back into the world with a stronger, clearer voice.
