Awaken Your Creative Self Retreat with Tallulah Rendall

Friday 20th - Tuesday 24th October 2023

Break free from limitations; live an empowered life that is truly aligned with your deepest passions and purpose. Unlock the immense power of your creative potential by mastering the art of embodying and expressing your unique voice, dance, word, and art.

Join Singer-Songwriter, qualified Qi Gong Teacher, Sound Therapist and Creative Facilitator Tallulah Rendall and her team from 20-24th October 2023 at Avalon Wellbeing, the UK’s No.1 Retreat Centre, set amid a 3000-acre sanctuary of rolling meadow pastures, ancient woodland, heather moorland, wild reservoirs, and meandering rivers.

"Creativity is innate within us all, a form of inner breathing that inspires the soul to blossom."

"I thought I’d gone to write a poem but what actually happened was a transformative journey of self-discovery. I went to sleep that night with a huge smile on my face and woke up feeling like a completely different person."

Imogen O'Gorman

Retreat Outline

Our retreat will begin with Qi Gong as a means to: connect with our body and surroundings, regulate our nervous system, transform anxiety and dissociation.

From here, we will explore our relationship with our voice, using sound as a tool for relaxation, connection and healing; working towards singing, harmony, and improvisation.

We will incorporate dance, journaling and drawing using facilitated somatic practices to help individuals express themselves, process emotions, explore their unique way of seeing the world and cultivate practices for emotional hygiene.

By weaving together these creative strands you will cultivate aligned embodied heartfelt perception, leading to a deeper connection with yourself, others and ultimately supporting you to lead a happier, more nourishing and confident life.

This retreat is designed for those who want to overcome their limiting beliefs, traumas, building confidence or lack of experience in expressing themselves through their voice, dance, or art; blocks that can negatively impact your confidence and overall life experience.

“I have been privileged over the past 20 years to focus my life on creative expression. It is an honour to do this work and I truly believe that having a healthy relationship with our creative expression is fundamental to living a healthy, happy embodied and fully realised life.”

Let go and discover the joy of your own voice

Tallulah is a vocal magician and will not only coax out of you your inner voice but will leave you surprised and delighted at what you can do. In my first session, I was amazed to find that I not only can sing but can sing in harmony! In my second session, I found myself singing harmonies in soprano (my voice is normally rather deep). Tallulah holds the space in such a way that you feel utterly supported and safe to experiment, let go and discover the joy of your own voice.

She is such a warm heart

I absolutely loved the way Tallulah holds space for creativity to flow! She is such a warm heart, making you feel instantly comfortable and at ease.  All the pieces of the journey she includes really support the process, from gentle movement to let energy flow, to sound healing, to allowing an open supportive space for free writing, and careful individual attention. If you are looking for a space to tap into your creativity – work with Tallulah!

Knowledge, playfulness and a kind approach

Tallulah manages to build bridges and inspire young and old alike. Participants are invited into exploring their own voice at their own pace, and before they know it, they are experiencing their first collective improvisation! She brings a great combination of knowledge of her craft, playfulness and a kind approach.

An extraordinary teacher and artist.

Tallulah is an extraordinary teacher and artist.  Her sound baths are unique in terms of the incredible beauty of her singing voice.  She creates and holds a calm, safe space for her clients to explore the healing power of sound.

I connected with my voice in a new way

As someone who usually only sings in the shower and is mortified to be overheard, I enjoyed Tallulah’s Harmonia workshop more than I could have believed possible! She is a wonderful facilitator, grounded, encouraging and loving. Under her guidance, I connected with my voice in a new way which I feel inspired to keep exploring and the whole group left the session humming and smiling.
