A 5-day luxury sanctuary for women who are ready to honour their voice, their story, and their next chapter.
They are meant to be written in beauty. In stillness. In the company of women who understand what it means to have something important to say — and the courage to say it.
This is a rare invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in creativity, reflection, and deep writing work in the heart of Italy.
"Expect luxury. Expect magic.
Expect transformation."
Hosted by Women Changing the World Press, this exclusive retreat brings together a carefully curated circle of women authors, thought leaders, and changemakers — all ready for meaningful progress on their book, and something far greater.
Each day is designed to hold you — creatively, physically, spiritually.
Spend your mornings in guided writing experiences alongside a circle of extraordinary women. Make real, meaningful progress on your book, supported by structure, intention, and the electric energy of writing in community
Between sessions, retreat into the serenity of a stunning Roman day spa. Thermal pools, restorative treatments, and peaceful spaces designed to calm your nervous system and awaken the creativity that lives beneath the noise.
Through guided reflection and quiet journaling moments, you’ll have the opportunity to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with the wisdom beneath the busy pace of everyday life.
Be surrounded by an intimate circle of thoughtful, creative, and visionary women who understand the courage it takes to share your voice with the world. Throughout the week, there will be space for deep conversations, encouragement, and genuine connection.
Every detail has been considered so you can arrive fully — and leave transformed.
Guided group writing work with structured time for deep focus and meaningful progress on your book.
Full access to thermal pools, wellness rituals, and restorative treatments throughout your stay.
Thoughtfully selected rooms within the wellness sanctuary — beautiful, quiet, and designed for rest.
Long, unhurried meals with your fellow retreat sisters — the kind of conversations that stay with you forever.
You'll be surrounded by a hand-selected group of women authors, thought leaders, and changemakers.
Cobblestone wanderings, journaling beneath the Italian sun, and space to simply be — unhurried and present.
Spaces are extremely limited and offered by invitation. If something in you is leaning forward right now — that is worth honouring.

join the waitlistThis retreat is designed for women authors, aspiring authors, thought leaders, creatives, and changemakers who feel called to write, share their story, or deepen their current book project in a supportive and inspiring environment. You do not need to have a completed manuscript. Some women will arrive with a clear structure already underway, while others may still be finding their voice or clarifying the direction of their book.
The retreat is ideal for women writing memoir, personal development, business, leadership, impact-driven, or transformational books. It is especially suited to women who want their work to create meaningful change in the world.
Each morning includes guided group writing sessions designed to help you make real progress on your book in a focused, supported environment. Sessions are intentionally structured while still allowing space for creativity, reflection, and flow. This is not a traditional classroom-style workshop. The experience is immersive, thoughtful, and deeply restorative.
There will be opportunities for connection, guidance, feedback, and conversation throughout the retreat. Depending on your package, there may also be optional private mentoring or publishing pathway discussions available.
This is an intimate luxury retreat with strictly limited numbers — just 10 women — to preserve the depth, quality, and exclusivity of the experience.
Your retreat experience includes luxury accommodation, daily writing sessions, full access to the Roman day spa and wellness facilities, most meals and shared dining experiences, all transfers, retreat activities and guided reflection, and connection with an inspiring international community of women authors and changemakers. Full inclusions will be confirmed upon application.
