We will meet on Friday evening and head to the ancient woodlands for Forest bathing, Friday evening you will be gifted a secret envelope, the key to open the portal of creation. Saturday morning before breakfast we welcome movement in the meadow followed by morning pages, a time to write, reflect, poems and thoughts of the day.
Most of Saturday we will explore warmup art techniques and gentle fun excercises to get our creative juices flowing, then we aim to create a Willow Portal to the other worlds.
This retreat is the Buck Full Moon in cancer, a sensitive time in the element of water, where it is the taught that the deers antlers are in full growth and abundance, we will embrace the flow of our centres of creation and growth.
