A writers' retreat with a difference
This is your invitation to sin...creatively
Indulge, create, collaborate, in the heart of the Granite Belt
The First Sin: LUST
Not everything forbidden is bad.
6 - 9 November 2025
Join us for the inaugural Written in Stone Writers' Retreat where we celebrate a lust for life, a thirst for good wine, and passion for words.
This is not a retreat about sex or erotica, it's lust in a broader more powerful sense: the deep ache to create, the obsession that keeps a character, a memory, or place, alive in your mind. It’s about writing from that charged, electric space where something within you insists on being seen.
Immerse yourself in nature and unlock your creativity on a writing retreat like no other.
Words, wine, wellness, packed in an unforgettable weekend of indulgence for the senses.
Start your first or your next story with Written in Stone in the heart of the Granite Belt while the team at SEVENTH Wines spoil you senseless.
CLAIM YOUR SPOT TODAY!
This is your invitation....
To stop depriving your creativity.
To stop apologising for how much you want to write.
To stop waiting for the "right time."
This is the retreat that says YES to your creative appetite.
