In-person events for members & non-members

The Dream Author Retreats

These are a wonderful opportunity to work with Sophie and other Dream Authors, and do some in-person coaching in the most beautiful surroundings. We do occasional retreats at Marlborough Manor and Lower Mill Estate but from now on, most of the retreats will be at the stunning new Dream Author retreat house in Wales, near the famous Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall…

Watch this space for bookable retreats there starting Feb/March 2026!

Please note: Dream Author in-person retreats are not included in your membership and are paid for separately.

Upcoming Retreats

Marlborough Manor, Essex: 31 July – 4 August 2026 – a four-night retreat, on which there is just one place left! Price: £3,000. (This is a luxury, high-end retreat and not typical of Dream Author retreat pricing. In 2026 there will be much more affordable retreats available!)

If you would like to bring a partner with you on a retreat, or a friend to share your room, that’s absolutely fine. Fees for room-sharing partners and friends are available on request.

If you’re not a member of Dream Author but you’d like to attend a retreat anyway, that will be possible too, though priority will always be given to Dream Author members.

Here are some photos from our previous retreats!

Here are a few examples of brilliant books by Dream Authors:

“The crucial thing is to realise that other people’s behaviour and thoughts and actions can only affect our emotional state if we let them. If a publisher, fellow writer or reviewer says something discouraging, we don’t have to think ‘Oh, no, I must be less talented and less likely to succeed than I thought I was.’ Instead, we can think, ‘Someone is saying some words near my ear, and I can always choose what I want to think about those words, and what I want to make them mean.’”
