Details

This one-day retreat is a gentle invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover the freedom of creative expression. When was the last time you allowed yourself to create, move, or explore without needing a result? Throughout the day, we combine mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, visualisation, and creative practices such as drawing, writing, and intuitive movement. Together, these practices open space for awareness, presence, reflection, and play. Rather than focusing on performance or creating something “good,” the invitation is to become curious about what naturally wants to emerge and express itself. Creativity here is not about talent - it becomes a way of listening inwardly, reconnecting with your body, emotions, imagination, and inner world. The retreat unfolds in a calm and supportive atmosphere, balancing moments of stillness with gentle expression and connection. If the weather is supportive, part of the day will take place outdoors in nature. 🌿 This retreat may be for you if • You long to slow down and reconnect with yourself • You are curious about the connection between mindfulness and creativity • You want more playfulness, flow, and self-expression in your life • You feel drawn to explore in an open and gentle way No previous experience is needed — only curiosity and a willingness to explore 🙂 A day to pause, breathe, create, and meet yourself with fresh awareness

Testimonials

info

This retreat was a wonderful experience. Under the gentle guidance of Sarah we did different meditations. Some were focussed on the mind, others on our senses and movement. I highly recomment this day retreat to anyone who feels daily life is too hectic and wants to push the pause button. Oh and did I mention lunch was lovely? 🤗 Thank you so much, Sarah!

It was my first retreat and I really enjoyed it. I felt cared for and in a trusted environment. I managed to do a deep meditation visiting my safe place which I really enjoyed. Thank you Sara, I needed it!
