7-DAY ONLINE HOME RETREAT
Connecting to creativity and the imagination through art, mindfulness and nature.
15/5/26 - 21/5/26
Location: Online

Awakening the Imagination offers a week to explore meditation, creativity and the imagination inspired by art, poetry, nature, and Buddhism

Whats it about?

Discover the Imagination as a source of deep enrichment and how it can be a path of awakening into a more expanded loving and insightful awareness.

During the retreat, we will approach the imagination as an intuitive means of knowing and understanding, and a reliable source of ‘inner guidance’. We'll explore what the imagination means to us, discovering images and perspectives to resource both our everyday and 'more-than-everyday' lives. We’ll draw on Buddhist sources along with inspiration from western wisdom traditions, contemporary art, and poetry.

There will be:

· Short presentations to introduce our themes

· Guided meditations to settle the mind and inspire new approaches

· Creative discoveries through art, nature connection and ritual

· Community Space for shared reflection.

Your Retreat, Your Way
