Awaken Your Song! Spring Retreat

Indulge in a weekend to awaken your senses, connect with your voice and nourish your creativity! A gathering centred in communal singing, rest, and connecting to the rhythms of nature to find our own creative spark. You will leave feeling rested, rejuvenated and more aware of your own innate creative gifts. This is a great reset no matter your experience of singing or creativity.

Singing: We will do lots of singing! We’ll ease into our voices each day and be curious about how our voice and help us connect to ourselves as well as others. We’ll sing original songs designed for this purpose, as well as other songs from the community singing movement. We’ll explore how song can express a unique moment in time through us. 

Yoga Nidra: Through deep rest meditation, we’ll go beneath the limits of our waking minds into a dream state. This state can help our bodies and systems to reset as we stop controlling and allow our innate body/mind wisdom to do what it does best! 

Nature Awareness and Creativity: We are nature. Nature is creative. We’ll use awareness practice and walks through the beautiful grounds and woods to connect to the rhythms of creativity that are already within us. We’ll explore what we discover through simple journaling, art or songwriting. Sharing is optional! 

We’ll have delicious meals together and time to connect and explore. There are always cakes and snacks and unlimited hot drinks!
