Find community in 2020 and experience five days of mindful writing at
The Well Academic Early Career Writing Retreat
Writing is challenging, and the demands of academia can make it harder.
In the publish or perish culture of the neo-liberal university, self-care practices are often the first to go as we find ourselves under increasing pressure to produce.
Rather than seeing these practices as competing with our precious writing time, this unique, research-based, mind-body oriented virtual writing retreat emphasises that instead, they are a necessary part of a sustainable writing practice.
Join Sydney poet and scholar Dr Willo Drummond, The Mindful Researcher, Dr Michelle Jamieson, and international yoga teacher Lucien Nabbs for a week of writing, mindfulness and yoga, from the comfort of your own home.
Over five days you'll replenish the reserves of your creativity while developing takeaway skills to support a productive and sustainable writing practice.
The retreat is tailored to the needs of PhD Candidates and ECRs.
You’ll come away with words on the page and the tools to maintain self-care as part of a balanced approach to writing.
Following the retreat, you'll receive access a virtual community for ongoing support in maintaining your practice after the five day program.
