🌿 The Experience
When life has been loud for too long, your body begins to whisper.
It says: slow down, breathe, remember.
This is your invitation to listen.
The Art Therapy Retreat is a one-day immersive experience designed to help you come home to yourself — through creativity, movement, breath, and gentle connection.
You don’t need to be an artist. You only need to be willing to feel.
Together, we’ll create a space where emotion can move safely, where creativity flows naturally, and where your nervous system finally exhales.
💫 What You’ll Experience
🕊 Grounding Breathwork & Somatic Awakening
We begin with breath and movement — releasing tension, arriving in the body, and attuning to inner stillness.
🎨 Embodied Creative Practice
Through guided expressive art, you’ll explore colour, form, and sensation — allowing creativity to flow naturally through paint, pastels, and intuitive mark-making.
This process awakens the dialogue between your body, heart, and imagination.
🌺 Story Weaving Ritual — The Art of Creation
Gathering sticks, twine, wool, and natural found objects, you’ll weave a unique creation that tells the story of your own becoming — a tactile reflection of your journey, your roots, and your renewal.
Each thread, knot, and element becomes symbolic — weaving together gratitude, intention, and the unseen patterns that hold your life.
💫 Reflection & Witnessing Circle
We close the creative process by sharing what emerged — the symbols, sensations, and stories that revealed themselves through art and weaving.
🔥 Smudging Fire Ceremony
An outdoor fire ritual to release what’s complete, offer gratitude to the elements, and seal your creation in the energy of transformation.
🌸 What’s Included
✅ 5-hour guided art therapy + somatic immersion
✅ All creative materials (paints, brushes, paper, pastels)
✅ Nature-based weaving materials (sticks, twine, wool, found objects)
✅ Grazing lunch, teas & snacks
✅ Fire & smoke closing ritual
👥 Spaces: Limited to 15 participants
🕊 Who This Is For
This retreat is for you if you’re:
Ready to release emotional heaviness and reconnect with your body’s wisdom.
Longing for creative expression without judgment or perfectionism.
Feeling burnt out, anxious, or creatively blocked.
Craving stillness, beauty, and gentle self-rediscovery.
You’ll leave feeling grounded, inspired, and renewed — with artwork that reflects your journey and a sense of peace that lingers long after the day ends.
Spaces are intentionally limited to maintain intimacy and depth.
Join us for a day of remembrance — of your creativity, your softness, and your truth.
✧ Participant Reflections from Previous Retreats ✧
““I’ve always lived in my head. Even during yoga, I’d catch myself thinking, not feeling. Anxiety was my normal state — chest tight, jaw clenched, heart racing. I signed up for the retreat because I wanted to ‘do something creative,’ but what I got was a complete nervous system reset.
The combination of somatic movement and art therapy felt like remembering an ancient language. For the first time, I could hear my body speaking — through texture, colour, movement, breath. When I painted, I wasn’t thinking about what looked good. I was listening to what wanted to come through. That changed everything. I left the retreat lighter, softer and strangely powerful.””
““I signed up for the retreat without really knowing why — only that something inside me was tired of holding it all together. I’d spent years in therapy, talking and analysng, but still felt numb. When I walked into the space, it felt different. I didn’t have to explain myself. The body mapping exercise opened something I didn’t know was closed. I found myself crying as I traced my hands — not from sadness, but from finally seeing myself again.
By the end of the day, I looked at the paper covered in colour and realised: this was me. I came home that night and told my daughter, ‘I think I found myself again.’””
When life gets loud, your body begins to whisper.
This retreat is your invitation to slow down, listen, and return to your natural rhythm — through art, movement, and connection with the earth.
In this full-day creative immersion, we gather as women to paint, weave, breathe, and remember.
You’ll move gently through somatic practices, intuitive art, and nature-based rituals that help you release what feels heavy and rediscover the quiet joy of creating with your hands.
Together, we’ll explore the ancient language of weaving with nature — using sticks, twine, wool, and found natural objects to tell the story of your own becoming.
Each thread becomes a symbol of release, gratitude, and renewal — a living artwork that reflects your inner landscape.
Held on sacred land in Valdora, Sunshine Coast, this serene sanctuary — lovingly tended by Cibele, the holder of the land — welcomes you with stillness, beauty, and belonging.
A nourishing vegetarian lunch and organic teas will be shared throughout the day, allowing you to stay connected, grounded, and cared for.
You don’t need to be an artist — only willing to create, feel, and be present.
