Need a break?
Maybe you’re exhausted.
Not sleeping well.
Always switched on,
scrolling through your phone,
never really switching off.

Blue Mountains, NSW
14–16 November 2025

Beginner-friendly event, no artistic experience required. 

Here is a simple invitation:

Three days to rest, breathe,
and reconnect with yourself through art. In nature.
No rush. No pressure.

A Straight Talk Welcome


It’s for people who just know they need some time out - to slow down, to reset, and to remember what it feels like to actually be present. 

We’ll spend three days exploring three simple but powerful pillars:

  • PRESENCE

    Learning how to actually be here, with your body and mind in the same place.

  • CONTEMPLATION

    Slowing down, reflecting, and finding clarity.

  • ART

    Using creativity as a way to heal and reconnect, guided by exercises from the Art to Heal book and methodology.

Nothing complicated.
Just honest practices you can bring back into your everyday life.

What the Three Days Look Like

The agenda was crafted to give yourself mental space. Over three days, you’ll experience:

  • Mindful walks around the property

  • Conscious eating and exploring food as presence

  • Gentle bodywork, cacao ceremony and breathwork

  • Creative sessions to reconnect with your ego, inner child, purpose, and vision

  • Space for both group sharing and personal time


The goal is simple: You’ll go home lighter, more rested, and with new creative tools to handle life with more ease.
