September 2024
We invite you to leave behind the more hectic urban environment and bustling islands and treat yourself to some warm, sunny days with plenty of space to dream, create, write and play.
This five-day idyllic Greek island retreat will explore some different approaches to creativity. We might use our imagination to create an expression and realisation of our deep, basic desires to shape a clear mental picture of what we want.
We will be coming together in an environment where we can give flow to our creative juices in community; to write and express ourselves around areas of interest, whether a blog, a book idea, a project presentation, web content, poetry, letters, short-stories, reviews, scripts for podcast ideas or content for public talks. We will also look at how mixed-media content can be added digitally to add richness to our creation.
The power of journaling on a daily basis can often be witnessed in the writing of morning pages. It's interesting to observe how daily journaling can be effective in unlocking creativity and building self-awareness.
All are welcome. You don't have to be a writer to join us. In fact there are many other things to do on the island without even writing at all. This will just be an optional morning focus and a theme running through the week.
Ticket price includes
Tickets are very limited so grab yours while you can.
The programme will include well-being activities such as yoga nidra and meditation with ample opportunities for swimming and time off to enjoy the serenity of the island to the full. There will be an optional boat excursion (additional fee) to the island’s hidden beaches and coves, walks on traditional paths, imposing mountains and ancient ruins.
We will immerse ourselves in local nature, history, myths and customs as we delight in the wild herbs, encounter goats living free in the mountains and and watch birds of prey circling. We will enjoy sharing stories, conversations and delicious local fresh food and drink at the local tavernas.
