Join us for a one-day Focus & Flow Writing Retreat on Sunday, 18th January 2026 at Ballytrim Pantry, Strangford Lough.

Surrounded by walled gardens, forests, and water

Cocooned in our fire lit practice space

Our one-day immersive retreat will unlock your creative and cognitive potential—right at the threshold of a new year and a new moon. This is a moment to plant seeds of possibility, set intentions, and make space for what you most want to bring to life in 2026.

This is not just your average day retreat. It’s an interactive workshop and writing immersion, held at the beautiful Ballytrim Pantry. Between sessions, you’ll have the chance to wander the forest paths, breathe in the stillness of nature, and reconnect with the rhythm of the season. Together, we’ll also share a nourishing farm-to-table meal, crafted with fresh, local ingredients—fuel for both body and imagination.

You’ll learn how to shift into a state of flow—where clarity, creativity, and productivity align—so you can finally produce, complete, and bring your biggest ideas to life.

Grounded in neuroscience and filled with practical tools, this experience will help you:
• Cultivate deep focus
• Navigate distraction
• Shift into flow—where clarity, creativity, and productivity align

Bring a meaningful project—writing, planning, building, or creating—and dive in with presence and power. You’ll gain insight, take action, and leave with both progress and a personal practice to sustain your deep work long after the day ends.
