Unwind, write and reconnect with yourself through an afternoon of creative writing and reflection. Join us for an in-person creative writing retreat centred around self-discovery, letting go and welcoming the new. Have you ever wondered who you could become if you looked within and beyond? Perhaps there are parts of yourself still waiting to be discovered, or untapped potential waiting to unfold. Salya’s writing is deeply inspired by nature. Through a carefully curated writing session, and through the lens of nature, Salya will guide you in exploring your inner world, releasing what no longer serves you and making space for the version of yourself still waiting to emerge. Whether you’re a writer or someone who has never written before, this retreat is for you. No previous writing experience is needed. Stationery will be provided, although you are very welcome to bring your own journal and pens. Refreshments will also be provided.
