Her Pitch in Barcelona

June 16th-19th, 2026

Intensive Pitching Retreat

FADE IN:

EXT. VINEYARD FARM – NIGHT

Under a sky scattered with stars, a group of PASSIONATE WOMEN WRITERS gather around a long table glowing with candlelight. The air hums with laughter, the sizzle of paella, and the clinking of glasses as stories spill into the night.

 

They share ideas, pitch their concepts, and find courage in one another’s words. Creativity flows as freely as the wine poured from the vineyard around them. Beneath the olive trees and the hush of the Catalan night, every story finds its voice.

FADE TO BLACK.

THE SETTING

Just outside Barcelona, nestled among vineyards and olive groves, lies a restored Catalan farmhouse surrounded by rolling countryside and open skies. Here, creativity feels effortless. Mornings begin with birdsong and coffee under the fig trees; afternoons unfold with writing sessions, local wine, and the scent of paella simmering nearby.

As the sun sets over the hills, conversations deepen, laughter lingers, and stories come alive under strings of soft light. It’s a space where courage meets creativity, where women gather not just to write, but to pitch the stories they’ve carried for too long in silence.

This is where inspiration meets community, and every storyteller finds her voice. ✨

What Awaits You 

🎬 A Creative Haven in the Barcelona Countryside – a beautifully restored farmhouse surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and mountain views. Whether you’re writing on the terrace, brainstorming by the pool, or pitching your story under the stars, every corner inspires connection and creativity.

Why Barcelona. Why Now.

Barcelona is where art, passion, and storytelling collide. It’s a city that lives in color from Gaudí’s curves to the rhythm of the sea, a place that reminds you creativity isn’t quiet, it’s alive.

Just beyond the city, tucked between vineyards and golden hills, lies a slower rhythm, one that invites you to pause, breathe, and finally share your story out loud.

This is where bold ideas take shape. Where women gather not just to write, but to pitch their stories with heart and confidence. 

Because Barcelona has always been a city for dreamers, and right now, the world needs more of yours. ✨
