Write with all your senses.
In multi-day Writers' Retreats, we support small groups of individual screenwriters in further developing their own projects.
The retreats have a proven, clearly defined structure in which the participants alternate between writing and leisure time, individual consultations with an editor, and group sessions. All writers work on their individual projects but can always draw on fellow participant or group support.
The structure and atmosphere of the retreats allow the writers to escape their daily routine for a few days and completely immerse themselves in their story and development process. In this way they can advance their projects in a productive, creative and safe environment.
At the end of the retreat, participants have the opportunity to pitch their projects to industry professionals, providing them with additional feedback from potential partners and the chance to expand their network. There is also the possibility that these pitches can lead to further discussions about potential options, representation, or other collaborations.
For writing teams or Off-Site Writers' Rooms, retreats can be tailored to the needs of the project.

Testimonials
Das Retreat ist gut strukturiert und die Aufgaben und Workflows haben genau die richtige Balance aus "Struktur, von der ich mich führen lassen kann" und "Freiraum für freies Denken und kreatives Arbeiten". Realistische Ziele werden gesteckt und es wird kein Druck aufgebaut, der Prozess ist bereits Hauptteil des Ziels. Sowohl die One-on-One-Session mit Sara, als auch die Gruppen-Sessions sind sehr hilfreich, konstruktiv und angenehm. Von der morgendliche Meditation, über die Gesprächs-/Schreib-/Arbeits-Einheiten bis hin zum Essen ist alles gut durchdacht und sinnvoll umsetzbar. Der allgemeine Umgangston ist sehr angenehm und respektvoll, und zugleich ehrlich und konstruktiv. Gerne wieder!

I have known Sara for several years and worked with her in a professional capacity as a writer. Her passion for a good storytelling, energy and enthusiasm is uplifting. And I very much appreciate her dedication and encouragement in getting me to tell the best story I can.
O.S.
In four days Sara helped me formulate an idea I had been sitting on for months into a clear constructed concept with which I now feel more confident going forward in developing further. She is knowledgeable and understanding of writers and their processes and is exceptional in providing feedback in a constructive manner. Ten out of Ten would recommend.

Das Writer's Retreat mit Sara hat mir geholfen, meinen Stoff aus einer hartnäckigen Schreibblockade zu locken. Durch eine unterstützende, aber nicht unter Druck setzende Atmosphäre wird man motiviert und inspiriert. Auch der Austausch mit anderen "Leidensgenossen" beim Retreat ist sehr fruchtbar, eingebettet in spielerische Aktivitäten. Ein hilfreiches und unterhaltsames Retreat für Autor:innen, die Austausch und Fokus suchen.
