Reconnect with Your Creativity in the Heart of Nature

Step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in a retreat designed for creators. Surrounded by tranquility and inspiration, this is your opportunity to focus, recharge, and connect with like-minded individuals in a supportive environment.

Join members of SCBWI Benelux for an exclusive writing retreat in Mützenich, a small village in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The retreat will take place over three days (May 16-18), giving you plenty of time to work on your writing projects and socialize with other members. The retreat house is surrounded by fields, forests and plenty of walking trails, where you can spot deer, foxes, martens, hares, lynxes, raccoons, birds of prey, herons, and black storks. Mützenich is easily accessible by car from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
