Granting ourselves the time to #write can be a challenge. ✍️ A #writingretreat is one way of giving ourselves permission 💪 to kickstart our project or breathe new energy into a WIP, while making new friends who’ll support us on our #writing journey. #BookSky valeriavescina.com/teaching/wri...

From a recent visit to the Trümmelbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen, Bernese Oberland. Water from 3 glaciers (Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau) flows into these dramatic waterfalls, unique in Europe for being INSIDE a mountain. Very close to where I run #writingretreats. valeriavescina.com/teaching/wri...

Magical Lauterbrunnen, one of the inspirations for Tolkien‘s hidden valley of Rivendell. He visited it and other parts of the Bernese Oberland on a trip to #Switzerland when he was 19 (in 1911). It’s very close to where I run #writingretreats. valeriavescina.com/teaching/wri...

Another discovery on a recent trip to France: the magnificent gothic cathedral of Toul. Its cloister is one of the largest in France. #earlymodern
