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…

“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.’”
