AWAKEN YOUR CREATIVE SELF RETREAT

“Expressing ourself is a form of inner breathing, like sunlight emanating from within, that inspires the soul to blossom.” Mark Nepo

When: Spring bank holiday weekend 2-6th June 2022

Where: State of the art well being retreat center https://www.avalonwellbeing.com/

Avalon, Broughton Hall Estate, Skipton, Yorkshire, BD23 3AN

WHY I AM RUNNING THIS RETREAT?

Creativity is innate within us all, however maybe you weren't encouraged or never found the time to nurture this part of yourself, be that in the form of story telling, poetry, song, movement, drawing or painting.

This is your opportunity to create space in your life to deeply nourish yourself and gain a deeper connection to your expression in a way that will build your confidence, empower you and support your emotional wellbeing.

Families are welcome

WHAT TO EXPECT..

“I thought I’d gone to write a poem but what actually happened was a transformative journey of self-discovery and development. I went to sleep that night with a huge smile on my face and woke up feeling like a completely different person, it was quite a surprise when I walked up to the camp fire and found everything else was the same as the day before!— Imogen O'Gorman

'It is hard to express the impact on me of participating in your workshops. I came thinking “I’ll give it a go” but not really expecting to get anything, and then something magical took over in me. It was like something in me needed to be expressed, and in a different way to how I’ve been expressing it, a creative way. Like I was building something positive for myself which I didn’t know I could do.' Kirsty Hurd-Thomas

Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi said during his seminal TED talk in 2004, "When we are involved in creativity, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life.”
