Thursday 06 November to Sunday 09 November 2025
You’re a speaker, coach, or entrepreneur with wisdom to share. You’ve talked about writing a book. Maybe you’ve even started it. But the noise of daily life keeps getting in the way.
You’re not alone.
Even as a book coach and publisher, I’ve had to step away from the daily grind to find deep, focused writing time. During the COVID lockdown, I experienced firsthand how removing distractions and being intentional with my time transformed my writing. I learned that productivity doesn't always come from pushing harder. It often comes from creating space.
That's why I created this immersive writing retreat. It gives people like you a supportive and structured place to make real progress on your book.
Set in the serene Eastern Magaliesburg range, just a quick 12-minute drive from Pretoria, Casablanca Manor offers you the mental space and physical beauty to immerse yourself in your message.
You’ll enjoy:
Peaceful surroundings that spark creativity
Rustic, tranquil writing-friendly spaces indoors and out
Private accommodation and warm, home-style hospitality
A setting that helps you switch off distractions and switch on your voice
This is where clarity meets momentum.
Who This Writers’ Retreat Is For?
This retreat is designed for purpose-driven professionals who are ready to use their voice to grow their influence:
Coaches who want to turn their frameworks into a published asset
Speakers who need a book to open bigger doors
Entrepreneurs who want to leave a legacy that lasts
Leaders ready to deepen their credibility and connection through storytelling
No writing degree required. Just your message and your intention to move forward.
