CATHY RENTZENBRINK

Join us this June for a week of writing with memoirist, novelist and writing coach Cathy Rentzenbrink. Cathy describes herself as ‘a writer who loves to encourage’, and this is exactly what she will aim to do at Topos Retreat. Cathy will lead writing sessions suitable for writers of all levels to help them unlock their potential and bring their work to life on the page.

Cathy’s books include The Last Act of Love, How to Feel Better, Dear Reader: The Comfort and Joy of Books, Everyone Is Still Alive, as well as Write it All Down: How to Put Your Life on the Page, a book about how to write memoir.

  • Accommodation in a double, en-suite room (seven nights)
  • Food and drink (seven days, three meals a day)
  • Transfer from the airport (Larnaca or Paphos) to Vasa and back
  • Guided excursions in and around the village
  • Instruction/talks by Cathy (five days)

SCHEDULE

The retreat begins and finishes on a Sunday. We begin with welcome drinks on Sunday evening (18 June), and finish with breakfast on the following Sunday (25 June). Teaching takes place between Monday and Friday. There are approximately two hours of teaching/talks/dedicated writing time each morning between Monday and Friday. Afternoons are more flexible: there is dedicated writing time, and also suggestions for excursions in and around the village (see below). Taking part in all social activities of the retreat is entirely optional.

Up to ten writers can be accepted on the retreat, on a first-come, first-serve basis.
