Her Salt Voice Institute assembles communities of women who want to deepen their practices in writing, research and visual arts.

We offer a range of retreats, intensives and coaching trajectories for groups or individuals, in which participants are guided in the processes of unfolding new ideas, enriching concepts with research and iteration, finessing final outcomes, and gathering engaged audiences.

Each project and each voice is unique but a consistent through-line is our dedication to nurturing curiosity, creativity, and connectivity.

Among the genres, practices, and tactics we support and coach:

  • fiction writing, non-fiction writing, and combinations thereof;

  • drawing, image-making, visual essaying, designing;

  • research methods;

  • identifying potential collaborators and reaching your publics;

  • publishing, presenting, podcasting.

In addition to a range of tailor-made courses, one-on-one coaching programs and manuscript reviews, Her Salt Voice Institute specialises in guided, detail-oriented creative retreats deeply situated in their coastal settings.

If structure and community support are desired, they are provided. If framed space, simplicity and seclusion, with a basket of local produce delivered to your door, sounds like just the thing, this too can be arranged.

A Her Salt Voice retreat experience begins well before arrival and continues afterwards, to ensure you fulfil your creative ambition.
