TWO full days of boot camp writing with solo blocks, prompt exercises and other creative therapy. Brilliant food, great chats, nude swimming and amazing people. There will be surprises and treats. I want you leaving feeling loved up, special, relaxed and fired up.
There’ll also be some meditation or yogaish stuff and perhaps a guest speaker . All meals included. Transport not supplied. Good times guaranteed. I’ll announce more over the next few months, book now and as all the fabulous updates go up you can smugly enjoy the knowledge you have locked in a place and you knew it was going to be fantastic.
Beginners are very welcome! Gunnas Masterclasses are for all levels. Novice to professional.
- We’ll be staying at Seacroft which is an old monastery near Apollo Bay. The accommodation is clean and cozy but not flash. Most people will be sharing toilets and bathrooms. All linen is provided including towels.
- If you are keen you can book a room at Seacroft the day or a week before or after if you would like to extend you stay.
- There are several different types of accommodation. Check all accommodation styles here. Email me here if there is an option you are after that’s currently sold out and I’ll let you know if one pops up. You have a choice of private rooms with single, double , queen or king beds. The shared room options are single twin, dorm rooms or a self-contained two bedroom cabin that sleeps six people . If you are interested in a dorm room with buddies get three or four mates together and I’ll put you in together,
- If you are interested in a dorm room with buddies get three or four mates together and I’ll put you in together.
- If you would like to sort your own accommodation close by (like here) or if you live close and would just come during the day buy day passes here. There are some lovely Airbnbs in the area.
- All meals will be provided. They will be delicious, nutritious and Instagrammable. As far as dietary requirements go we can cater for vegetarian and gluten free due to small kitchen, tight timings and keeping costs accessible for all. Anything else we cannot guarantee. Any queries email me.
- Refunds? Well you know me, I have no rules or policies and run my business under the motto generosity, enthusiasm, friendliness and irreverence. We’ll work something out.
- Gunnas Masterclasses do NOT apply for retreats but there is no reason you can’t give this to someone you love as a gift.
- Got transport issues? When you purchase a ticket you are invited to the event’s closed Facebook page where you will get all the additional information and be able to car pool with others.
- Of course you can bring your own alcohol and jazz cigarettes.
- This is for people in the middle of writing something, people who haven’t started, people who are stuck, people who love these kind of weekends, people who want to get together with mates and this looks like a cracking weekend.
- If you are a teacher this counts 15 hours professional development hours.
Let me give you the magic pill and provide you with that creative enema you need. I’m the midwife to help you birth your creative baby. Here’s what people said after doing Gunnas, and here are some testimonials about the retreat.
Email me with any queries. Want to set up a payment plan? No problems! Everything you need to know about Gunnas Writing Masterclass here. The best thing is that no one has to share their work and all activities, classes and sessions are optional.
Love to see you.
