HeartWriting Retreats
Nurture your words and your loving heart at a HeartWriting Retreat.
If you’ve found your way here, it means you’ve heard about the magic of The HeartWriting® Method – Rose Mascaro’s registered trademark curriculum that’s seen hundreds of writers face their fears, learn the intricacies of language, and write glorious words from the heart. Many are now writing their very own books under the editing guidance of Rose, a writer and editor with masters qualifications.
But Rose is so much more than just a writer. She’s a gifted teacher of language and writing of 20 years, plus a spiritual guide and sound healer, ready to awaken your creative heart and help you get those words on the page.

Testimonials
Raeleen
Rose always instinctively knows what's needed in her guided meditations and the collective energy of the group is pure magic! I have grown so much with Rose. My heart has opened and my writing? ... well, I've almost finished my book. Heartwriting in Ubud here I come!
Grace
I highly recommend HeartWriting for those who love learning with a spiritual lens and want to develop or mature their writing ability in a supportive space. Rose radiates with beautiful wisdom and has an authentic way of teaching that is articulate, inspiring, heartfelt and passionate.
Delys
The talented Rose shared so much of her vast knowledge with us and was very generous with her time and resources. I have wanted to get back to writing for many years but this course was the impetus to get my words moving again. I loved it so much I have enrolled in the advanced course!
Kelly
I cannot shout loud enough to anyone who is thinking about working with Rose that they need to run, not walk. It will be one of the biggest acts of self-care you’ll enact all year. There will not be a more well rounded or supportive course of its kind out there I assure you!
Alex
I attended the 2025 Bali Retreat – I wrote more than I had in the six months prior to the retreat over the three/four days. The practice for teaching writing is unlike most that I have investigated. I came home filled with confidence in my ability to write and with so many new ideas in my mind. I cannot recommend working with Rose more.
