Do you dream of finally writing your book, but aren't sure where to begin? Or have you started a
project that has since stalled? Join award-winning author Will Bashor and holistic coach and writer
Lisa Wetton for four unhurried days in Sitges — a sun-washed Catalan town of cobbled lanes,
Modernist façades and Mediterranean light, just forty minutes from Barcelona.
This September, Soul to Pages moves to an entirely new setting: a stunning private residence perched
above the town, with sea views, sun-drenched terraces and space to think, write and breathe. It's an
intimate retreat for beginners and returning writers alike — part structured craft workshop, part
creative reset, held in one of the most inspiring settings on the Catalan coast.
You'll leave with new pages, a clearer sense of your story, tools to keep the momentum going, and
the quiet confidence that comes from writing alongside others who understand the pull of an
unfinished book.
4 Days / Long weekend retreat / 2 Facilitators / Writing craft + meditation /1 View / A private hilltop residence
