Summary

Write stories, write poems—simply write great texts!

In the creative writing workshop at La Rogaia, Britta Loebell, MA, will reveal the secret tricks that will help you, as a writer, effortlessly explore the wide range of your expressive possibilities, expand them creatively, and thereby write significantly better.
You’ll be amazed at how many paths to great writing open up to you once you apply the techniques you’ll learn in this course.

Embark on an exciting journey into your own imagination and discover literary motifs in both your imagination and everyday life. Through creative writing prompts, language games, and experimentation with literary forms of expression, you can try new things here in the relaxed atmosphere of La Rogaia and discover your own distinctive style.

Another invaluable benefit for you: Especially when discussing the texts—whether in regular group sessions with the other course participants or with the instructor—you’ll receive valuable suggestions and tips for your writing that you can put into practice immediately during the course, far removed from the distractions of everyday life.

During this week, you can work on your own writing projects that you bring from home, or simply take advantage of the writing prompts you receive in the course. Britta Loebell is happy to accommodate individual requests.
Don’t worry—perfection isn’t expected of you. Even though professional writers regularly participate in Britta Loebell’s workshop to refine their writing skills, no prior experience is required for this course. All you need to bring is a little curiosity!

Book your vacation risk-free!

In light of the current situation, we have adjusted our cancellation policy for all bookings: If a stay cannot take place due to “force majeure” (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic)—for example, if our guests are unable to arrive due to travel restrictions—we will, of course, allow you to cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the start of your stay. We will then refund your entire payment.

Cancellation policy

If you cancel up to 30 days before arrival, you will receive a 70% refund of the booking price.
After this, the booking is non-refundable.

If you need to cancel your vacation, we will immediately try to offer your course spot or accommodations to other interested parties. If no replacement can be found, we will retain the 30% deposit for cancellations made up to 30 days before the course begins. Starting 29 days before the course begins, we must charge you 80% for lodging and meals if no replacement participant or tenant is found. In the event of a cancellation 29 days or fewer before the course begins, the course instructors will retain 100% of the course fee. Nevertheless, we will make every effort to find a replacement participant or tenant even in the case of last-minute cancellations. If we or you are able to find a replacement participant or tenant, you will receive a refund of your deposit minus a processing fee of 25 euros. If we are only able to rebook your course spot or accommodations at a discounted last-minute rate, you will be responsible for the difference.

In the event that a course instructor is unable to teach, we reserve the right to find a suitable replacement. Should we, in exceptional cases, be unable to do so, you may choose to receive a refund of the course fee or the total price, depending on whether you wish to visit us even without taking the course. If the minimum number of participants for a course is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the course up to 4 weeks before it begins. In this case, you will, of course, receive an immediate refund of your course fee. However, we are unfortunately unable to cover the costs of flight reservations or similar expenses that have already been made. Services not utilized (e.g., in the event of early departure) cannot be refunded.
