Our Upcoming Retreats

Creative Joy - Summer Seasonal Series 2024

Date: Fri 23 February (7pm) – Sun 25 February (7pm) 2024.
Join us for a seasonal series of Creative Retreat's led by Glenda Joy.
We'll be using various mediums of texture, colour, writing & music to reflect and envision the seasons of life and how our stories inform and shape our world.
Through simple contemplative exercises we can digest life, find meaning, clarity and celebration. These weekends are an opportunity to stop and pause in a restful & supportive place, to connect with the significant themes and spiritual elements of your life. Be refreshed by the beauty of this place, enjoying nutritious food, sweeping vistas, and walking tracks. The retreat allows time for rest, contemplation & meditation. Keeping Silence assists the inward process of reflection and there is optional sharing time during the creative sessions.
Retreat facilitator Glenda Joy
