If you would like to explore your creative side, I run a series of themed workshops for all abilities. They are fun and relaxed and aimed at providing a place where you can express yourself and, pick up some art tips.

The Pause and Paint workshops, and Day Retreats are a great way to unwind and have some ‘me’ time!

Creative Wellbeing Retreat – New dates coming soon!
Welcome to Pause & Paint – The Creative & Healing Power of Trees
Walking amongst trees is a calming and relaxing experience, one which can fill us with many emotions and reduce others. Feelings of anxiety, fatigue, and confusion reduce as you breathe in the scent of the trees and the earth, taking in what nature has to share with us.
By connecting and being as one with nature we start healing and boosting our wellbeing.
The day retreats are about the above, but they are also about reconnecting to our inner child, the one that dances as if no one is looking and creates just for the joy of it, this brings freedom and release.
There will be meditations, chi kung, mindfulness, forest bathing, and creativity, oh and cake!
All material provided.
Please bring your lunch.
Come and join me.

Date: to be confirmed
