Mallorca, Spain - Sold Out
August 12th-18th, 2021
Think about the most sensory pleasing place you can go to to write.
This may be it. Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain, will be your home while you unplug from the everyday hustle and dive into a much slower pace of life.
Days will be spent exploring language and the senses, with curated writing workshops and delicious Mediterranean farm to table cuisine to top the beauty of our surroundings.
Yoga, daily meditation, panoramic views, and trips to secret turquoise coves will enhance the creative journey as we dive deep into the senses, the power of language, and our role as storytellers.
The Venue, Osa Major
Perfectly kitted out for a luxury wellbeing escape, yet still maintaining a laid-back lifestyle feel, Osa Major is a blend of Balinese, African, and Mediterranean style with modern twists set on the rolling hills of Mallorca.
The finca has been set up to be completely self-sustainable, off-grid with its own solar panels. Water is sourced partly from their own water reservoir, and food from their very own vegetable garden.
Days at this stone-carved lodge in the heart of Mallorca's countryside can be spent lazing by the pool, reading in its shaded corners, or floating through the surrounding region's endless fields.

You can fly into the Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), which is located about a thirty minute drive from Osa Major, from anywhere in Europe. We recommend the direct flight from Barcelona, but flights from Madrid also depart daily. Once in Mallorca, you can take a taxi to the finca, or we can arrange group transportation.
If I am traveling alone can I still share a room with someone?
Yes. If you are traveling on your own and would prefer to share a room, we will do our best to match you with a roommate.

No, you do not need a visa to visit Spain. However, your passport must be valid for at least six months after your planned departure date.
What are expenses like in Mallorca?
Like in many destinations, costs for meals and shopping vary depending on location. We encourage setting aside spending money for shopping, the occasional beach lunch and other activities.
Can I come if I have no writing experience?
Absolutely. The retreat is designed to ignite your creative potential, whether you have experience writing or not. Workshops are all levels.
