Immerse yourself in writing and conversation this summer. There’s something for everyone–whether you’re new to writing, an established writer, or somewhere in-between.

Dates: 3-5 March 2017
Location: El Rancho, Kāpiti Coast, New Zealand
Registration:  Register securely online or contact kirsten@kahini.org with any and all questions or for additional information.
Join us for the Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat and renew and recharge your writing and your life. The Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat is an immersive, two-day gathering for writers, happening on the Kāpiti Coast. The retreat includes intensive morning workshops, lively afternoon panels, discussions and space and time to write, relax and engage with topics critical to your work. Read about last year’s event here.
Kahini is delighted to host six established New Zealand and international writers–Helen Lehndorf, Hera Lindsay Bird, Jordan Hartt, Nalini Singh, Queenie Rikihana-Hyland, and Vivienne Plumb–who will teach the Retreat. Each writer will teach morning workshops: three in fiction, two in poetry, one in memoir writing, and one cross-genre. (Read descriptions of the workshops and teachers below.)
Evening get together
In the afternoons the same teachers will lead panels and discussions on topics pertinent to craft and literature in Aotearoa. All writers are welcome, at whatever stage you are in your writing life. You’ll find community, encouragement, and a safe place in which to take artistic risks. Please contact Kirsten at kirsten@kahini.org for more information. Register for the Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat!

    Hi Paula,

    I feel cheeky asking but seeing that you are promoting other writers workshops…

    If you feel so inclined to share there is this for teenagers, based in Christchurch,

    Tutors include the wonderful James Norcliffe and recent NZPS winner Gail Ingram among others.

    Run by The School for Young Writers/
