A transformational journey into the heart of our innate wisdom and creativity. This retreat will offer insight into the extraordinariness of our human potential. You will leave with a greater sense of self and creative practices to continue to nurture and inspire your daily life.
“The call to the creative life is a call to dignity, to a life of vulnerability and adventure, and the call to a life that exquisite excitement and indeed ecstasy will often visit.”
John O'Donohue
About the Retreat
In response to the challenging times we are now living in, we are offering a dynamic and creative exploration into the essence of who we are, with the aim of helping participants to thrive in the face of adversity.
In this retreat we will create a safe and supportive community in which to explore the simple yet profound skills that will equip us in navigating the unknown path we find ourselves on. We will be teaching therapeutic and creative practices and encouraging each other to bring forth our gifts of imagination and innate knowing.
We will learn to listen and reflect for ourselves and each other, find ways to live in greater integrity, and ultimately to connect with the wisdom that lives inside each one of us.
We will navigate from the humdrum to the sublime as we access our soul purpose and dive into the wellspring of our creativity.
Malcolm will work in his inimitable and brilliant way as mentor and therapist, offering daily group sessions which will include psychodrama and Gestalt practices. Sarah will be bringing her unique talents as someone who has lived her life immersed in music, art and healing, inspiring our journey with creativity and song, and helping us to connect with our inner wisdom and guidance. The creative practices will include conscious writing, sound meditation, the magic of mantra, and mandala making.
The Programme
We will have a session with Malcolm in the mornings, from 11 til 1.30pm, free time in the afternoon to walk, to visit the pool suite at Avalon Wellbeing Centre, or relax in one of the beautiful sitting rooms, and a session with Sarah from 5pm til 6.30pm, which will be singing, sound bathing, or creativity. We will also have evening activities, depending on what the group would like at the time.
Realign and nurture your mind, body, and spirit with stunning nature, inspirational workshops, delicious and nutritious plant-based meals, fun and laughter, and a deep connection with yourself and like-minded others.
