Led by Zoe

I am very much looking forward to this week of creative writing, where I can bring together my background in non-duality, my experience as a writer, and my skills as a linguist.

On one hand, we will jog our creativity with simple exercises designed to stimulate our imagination—our gift of freely associating. This part is about feeling free to play. On the other hand, we will explore our own voices, uncovering the stories hidden within our being, waiting to be freed. This part is about feeling free to express ourselves.

The act of creation is one of the most important and truest gifts we can cultivate as human beings. It’s a privilege.

Of course, we will not only write during this week. The best advice I can give you is this: let go. The more we let go, the more inspiration will find us. So, we will also move our bodies, play games, and, of course, spend time in silence.

The default language at Amiglia is English, but you are welcome to write in your own language. I am fluent in Dutch, English, and French, and also speak Italian and German. As a linguist, I can help you fine-tune your text in terms of grammar and syntax—though we might also choose to break the rules deliberately!

Daily Schedule:

• 7h30 - 8h30: Morning practice (with everyone staying at Amiglia)

• 9h: Breakfast

• 10h - 12h: Writing practice

• 13h: Lunch

• 15h - 17h: Writing practice

• 19h00: Dinner

• 20h - 21h: Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, or massage

There is time to rest, hike, read, further write, play music, make bonfires and more. We also ask everyone to lend a hand in the kitchen or garden.

Bring comfortable (warm) clothing, a blanket, hiking shoes, pen and paper, as well as your laptop.

Suggested donation to participate in this week: €100 - €200.
