Italy Writer's Retreat 2026

Being here connected me back to myself in a way I hadn’t experienced in a long time. Speaking to other fellow creators reconnected me back to (and in a real sense, deepened) this relentless passion I have for sharing perspectives that unblock the mind and open our hearts to expressing ourselves unabashedly. I was already aware I had this passion for alchemy in me, but having the opportunity to be with other creators, “my people,” made it abundantly clear that I needed to express myself. I can’t speak for others, but I know I’m not alone in feeling transformed. It’s nothing short of magical what happens when you’re dropped into a caring container of love (that’s genuinely the best way to say it), and Jack and the Transcendence team were capable of creating this container by virtue of who they are. To lead and act with love for others has incalculable downstream effects. It’s been a month or so since the retreat. The emotional confetti has settled, but I still think about this trip all of the time. It is and forever will be in my heart. It also hasn’t just transformed me internally. I have since started a podcast. I’m speaking now. I love you guys and am endlessly grateful.

I joined the Transcendence retreat because I wanted to tap in to my spiritual and creative side to get some writing inspiration. This event really was life changing! I learned so much about myself which I pay credit to the hosts and the whole group for. Everyone was so incredible and unique and kind and I feel I’ve made real friends for life from this experience. My favourite part was how the flow of the energy went- not too rigid but enough structure and guidance to truly grow and explore and just enjoy the week! Thank you so much, would definitely do another one 😍🌟

I joined the retreat because I felt the call to spend time with fellow writers. I didn’t know exactly what I would write, but my intention was clear: to make space for writing and to connect with like-minded souls. It turned out to be so much more than a traditional writing retreat. I left with beautiful new connections, more clarity around the next steps for my business and my life, and a renewed sense of trust in where I’m going. For a few days, it genuinely felt like we were outside of time. The best part was the community we created. Feeling seen and heard. Long conversations that stayed with me. Laughing, eating together, swimming, sharing our work, our ideas, our fears and our dreams. There was something very special about being surrounded by people who were all there to create, reflect and connect. It’s one of the best investments I’ve made in myself this year. Jack, Christine, Sara and Lily took such beautiful care of us and created the kind of space where you could arrive exactly as you were. I couldn’t recommend a Transcendence experience enough. I came for the writing, but I left with so much more.

"I signed up for the Italy retreat because I’d been working solo online and wanted to get out and meet some folks i'd been interacting with online I can go through a whole day without even hearing myself speak, so the chance to write and spend time with other people really appealed to me. The best part was the conversations. Meeting new people, opening up my mind to fresh perspectives, and leaning into esoteric stuff (such as human design) that is clearly very powerful but which it's often easy to dismiss. I came away with a clearer sense of what I want to work on, and it also reminded me how important it is to make time for myself instead of always being heads-down in client work. The experience also reinforced how much I want to run more retreats of my own. I’m really thankful to Jack and everyone else for their efforts in organising this and for bringing us together and making it happen!"

I joined this retreat because I was interested in pursuing writing in a more organized and intentional way, and because I had previously attended a Transcendence retreat and had a life-changing experience with Jack’s leadership and direction. I left the retreat with far more than I expected. I came in wanting to have a dedicated space to write and reflect, and I knew that there would be a great group to do this with. I also looked forward to Jack’s intuitive coaching for my writing and own inner pursuits. The best part of the experience was the people. There were 14 of us who were similarly minded in ways that are very rare to find in everyday life. It created an environment where everyone could drop a lot of the normal social filtering and simply be themselves. Conversations could move naturally between writing, creativity, spirituality, psychology, life, relationships, and whatever else was coming up. Both of Jack’s retreats were like this. They create a sense of belonging and permission to express parts of ourselves that might normally be held back or misunderstood. In this openness, most people that come to these retreats having learned more about who they are and what they want to do on earth. Jack also has a unique ability to create and lead these kinds of spaces. There is enough structure and direction to keep the experience moving somewhere meaningful, while still leaving room for spontaneity, individuality, and whatever naturally emerges within the group. I joined because I wanted to take writing more seriously. I left with greater clarity around my writing, meaningful relationships with people I otherwise may never have met, and a week with Jack as a high-level spiritual mirror to further refine my own understanding of myself.
