Why we built this
SAY HI has always been about one simple thing: meeting people offline, in real life, by showing up for something you actually enjoy doing. UNBLOCK is that idea applied to your creative work: eight dedicated days in the Cornish countryside, writing alongside other people instead of alone at your kitchen table. You don't need to already call yourself a writer, just a project you've been meaning to start or finish, a novel, poetry, a play, a Substack, or something you haven't named yet. No lectures, no craft workshops, no one telling you how to write. Come with a project, come with a question. Leave with pages.

How to UNBLOCK
Daily workshops
Sage and Marie lead structured sessions every morning to get you unstuck, find your angle, and move forward.
Writing time
Dedicated hours every day to make real progress on your project. No interruptions, no agenda.
Group feedback
Read, share, respond. A small group giving each other honest, generative feedback.
Meditation
A short guided practice to quiet the noise and access the part of you that already knows what to write.
Inspired by nature
Long walks through the Cornish countryside, feeding the animals, fresh air between sessions. Ideas move differently outdoors.
Time to restore
Hot tub, sauna, indoor pool. Real rest between real work.
A Day at UNBLOCK
Mornings for creative flow, afternoons for writing and connection, with time left here and there to see a little of Cornwall too.
Your hosts
What this is, and what it isn't
The vibe
- A guided workshop to start writing, no experience needed
- Eight days with zero distractions
- Honest feedback in a small, trusted group
- Self-catered: shop, cook, and eat together
- Cornwall in November: hot tub, open fire, no agenda
Not the vibe
- A craft workshop or writing instruction
- Advice on publishing or finding an agent
- A fully catered holiday
- Ticking off Cornwall's tourist highlights
- A solo retreat with no group element

Choose your room
UNBLOCK runs across three self-catered cottages, each shared with no more than two other guests, so you'll always have your own living room and kitchen. Two of the cottages also have their own writing space.
