This part-time course runs over a seven-month period and commences with a week-long residential retreat, six weekend intensives in Sydney and ends with a ten-day residential retreat. This format allows students to spread their study load over an extended period of time, giving them an opportunity to integrate the study material while still being able to manage career and family commitments.

The venue for both retreats is Jasper’s Village Resort, Australia’s up-and-coming centre for health, wellbeing, sustainability, and conscious living. Resort accommodation is located in an area of natural beauty and is serviced by a community of people whose focus is to create an environment conducive to people reaching their highest potential.

The venue for Sydney intensives is BodyMindLife Yoga, Surry Hills.

Transform your writing to reach new heights

A weekend of writing in a tranquil resort setting with special guest speaker, successful author Adrienne Ferreira and workshops by Dr Richard Hillman and Penny McKee.

Retreat focus: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WITHIN TEXT

Adrienne Ferreira was born in Sydney in 1975 and grew up on the mid north coast of NSW. She is currently working on her second novel, about a young mother who becomes obsessed with a foreign sailor watching her from one of the coal bulkers lined up just outside her cliff-top house – an exploration of youth, aging and the panic of transition.

Adrienne lives on the NSW Central Coast with her husband (actor, producer, playwright and screenwriter Rob Carlton) and their twin sons.

All meals cooked on site by chef Angie, in Jaspers' licensed restaurant.
Wholefood, organic meals with gluten free and vegetarian options available.

Accommodation for two nights, motel room, twin share.
