Join us for the Kāpiti Writers' Retreat and renew and recharge your writing and your life.

The Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat is an immersive, two-day gathering for writers, happening on the Kāpiti Coast. The retreat includes morning workshops, afternoon panels, discussions and space and time to write, relax and engage with topics critical to your work.

Kahini is delighted to host six established New Zealand and international writers–Helen Lehndorf, Hera Lindsay Bird, Jordan Hartt, Nalini Singh, Queenie Rikihana-Hyland, and Vivienne Plumb–who will teach morning workshops: three in fiction, two in poetry, one in memoir writing, and one cross- genre.

In the afternoon we will have interactive and engaging discussions on contemporary craft and literature in Aotearoa and evening get togethers.

All writers are welcome whatever stage you are at in your writing lives.
