Coming to Your Senses- Reawaken Your Inner Artist

Many of us feel the glimmer to create and yet find the scrum of daily life pushing these desires to the side. But creative practices don’t exist separately to daily life; they exist because of it and within it. Whatever your medium of choice, the act of creating is generous, generative, and expressive. It is a practice of everyday alchemy, where we take our lived experience and transform it; an offering to ourselves and to the world. It's a way of making sense of life, an act of both thriving and surviving.

Our multi-day retreat is an adventure into your unique creative process. Each day embraced by the Sound feels like we've slipped into a time warp where the days pace slows down and we allow the stories to unfurl from our souls. Together, we’ll play with movement, adventures in nature, storytelling, creative art therapy, photography, writing and poetry as a means to reactivate the sensual, expand our curiosity and together create tiny, beautiful things as we investigate themes of connection, place and intuition within the glorious elements we find ourselves immersed in.

This retreat is suitable for any interested human, of all creative ages and stages, as well as those with established practices looking for renewed inspiration, guidance or support in a group of passionate and interested co-conspirators. Bring your notebooks, cameras, open minds, curiosity, & a sense of adventure. It is the perfect setting to stir the soul & truly experience a profound connection to yourself and the wildness that surrounds us.

4 inspiring days & 3 nights with the support and guidance of both Kass & Jane
