About
The Art of Slowing Down
Weekend Retreat
Thursday 2 July - Sunday 5 July
There’s a certain kind of creativity that only returns when we slow down enough to hear it again. This long weekend retreat is an invitation to step away from constant stimulation and into a softer rhythm — one shaped by nature, rest, movement, and creativity. Over four days, we’ll gather for daily yoga, nourishing food, creative exploration, sauna and hot tub evenings, river swims, quiet moments by the water, and time to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that often get buried beneath busyness.
This is not about being “good” at creativity. It is about creating space for inspiration, play, curiosity, and expression to emerge naturally again.
There will be guided experiences, gentle structure, and plenty of room to wander, rest, journal, float on the river, laugh, and follow what feels alive for you.
