Kia ora ,

I'm so excited to share that tickets for the retreat are now available!!

You have first access: tickets are exclusively available to the waitlist for the next 48 hours before being released to others.

It’ll be 7 nights 24-31 July 2026 on the Gold Coast (to escape the New Zealand winter), beach walks, watching adaptations and discussing Persuasion. I’ve built in hours of free time every day so you can nap, shop, relax or whatever you’d like to do.

What’s included:

• 7 nights accommodation
• Book discussions
• Movie nights
• Beach walks

To make it easier to meet your unique needs you will arrange your own:

• Transport

• Insurance

There are optional extras:

• A hardcover clothbound edition of Persuasion
• A group dinner at a restaurant overlooking the city
• Retreat branded shirts, notebooks and mugs
• Plus exclusive opportunities to work with me in person

Pricing
