Varuna is nestled in the Blue Mountains not far from Sydney – a mountain retreat for writers throughout Australia and the world.
My fellowship there early in my career was special – a beautiful old home with fellow authors, good food, a crackling fire.
There’s a wealth of fellowships, events, manuscript assessment opportunities, private writing retreats and friendship at Varuna -
The Alumni Evening at The Hughenden, hosted by the Director of Varuna, Liz Bastian, was warm and welcoming where writers shared writing and personal news and extended the Varuna spirit into community.
It was a beautiful night with jazz singer Courtney Severini on the baby grand.
There was a special treat with an impromptu performance of jazzaVienne – with the delicious voices of Charito, Suzanna Wellink and Tricia Evy - what a night.
