WOMENS CREATIVITY RETREATS

 

A CREATIVE ADVENTURE

​

If you are expecting a typical art retreat, this is something a little different. This is a space for self-expression, creative exploration

and connection to your heart through art.

​

It's an art retreat, but it's also about discovering and expressing who you are through art.. It welcomes artists of all levels, without making anyone feel they need to be an artist to belong. Whether you paint every day, haven't picked up a paintbrush in years or are simply curious to explore your creativity, there is a place for you here.

​

A DIFFERENT CREATIVE JOURNEY EACH DAY

​

Each day has its own theme, with thoughtfully designed art activities and experiences, personally guided by Alison, a professional artist and qualified art therapist. Together, you'll explore different aspects of yourself and your creativity. We might begin by reconnecting with yourself,

then explore your heart, your connection with nature

and the things that bring joy and meaning to your life.

Through painting, drawing, clay, art meditations and other creative activities, Alison will guide you on a journey of self-expression and discovery, with something new to explore each day.

There is no right or wrong, no pressure to get it perfect.

Whatever you create will be beautiful in its own way,

because it comes from you.

​

MORE THAN JUST AN ART RETREAT

​

Alongside our creative sessions, we share gentle practices that help us relax, reconnect and feel good in ourselves.

From Kundalini yoga, with its blend of breath, movement and sound, to art meditations, which help quiet the mind and connect with the moment through colour and mark-making, and nurturing Hawaiian massage, each offers a different way to tune in and care for yourself.

​

And of course, there's plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, delicious food, laughter and simply being yourself. It's a wonderful opportunity to play, explore, express yourself and discover the joy of enjoying life through art.

IS THIS RETREAT FOR YOU?

​

Do you sometimes feel you've lost touch with who you are and what you truly want?

Would you love to let go, be playful and create without worrying what anyone else thinks?

Do you want to reconnect with your feelings, your heart and the things that really matter to you?

Would you love to feel more at home with yourself and discover the joy of expressing who you are through art?

 

You don't have to be an artist to be creative.

All you need is a desire to connect to your creative spirit and a little openness to expressing yourself!
