WALKING & CREATIVITY RETREAT This 4-day/3-night retreat aims to give you time away from your routine and established thinking patterns so that you can disrupt habitual behaviours and access a more creative and self-expressive life.

Using tools and techniques from applied transformative theatre, embodied learning techniques & arts-based activities, the sessions have been designed by specialist practitioner Dr Erika Jacobson, to give you opportunities to identify, dismantle and examine some of the obstacles that are holding you back from the creative expression you are yearning for.

Both individual stories & collective insights are brought together in a process that gives you access to possibilities. These possibilities are then rehearsed and further expanded throughout the workshop/retreat. 

While there are many possible therapeutic outcomes to this embodied and aesthetic work, our main intention is to access learning that assists all participants in reconnecting & reigniting their creativity, whatever that may look like. Whether it be expanding your dessert making skills, creating an online business or finally putting some colour on those blank canvases or words on those blank pages. 

The workshop process is playful, fun and goes as deep as you want to take it - whether you share your heart out or listen with an open mind, you will take something home that you can put into action. 

The accommodation for this retreat is very special. Nestled between a vineyard and pristine bush, the architecturally designed home has nurtured and held our previous retreats spaciously and warmly. There are different rooms available to suit your budget. The 4-bed dorm style has its own shared bathroom and lounge area, the 2 twin-share rooms and 1 double room share the other bathroom, and one deluxe double room has its own ensuite. All the rooms offer great views of the surrounding natural environment and will delight you no matter where you sleep.
