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

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

Whats it about?

This retreat is an invitation into a spacious, nourishing imaginative world — a place where creativity can awaken, unfold, and deepen. Through a gentle rhythm of meditation, mindfulness, and creative practice, we’ll explore what the imagination is, as well as the natural relationship between the imagination and insight.

Alongside regular meditation, there will be time for creative exploration through drawing and writing, open to all levels of experience. We’ll engage with the language of the imagination — symbols, stories, and archetypes — and explore how these speak to and enrich the different aspects and dimensions of our life. By making these connections, we can discover meaning and significance that can give our life ‘coherence’ in refreshing ways.

Throughout the week, we’ll share a rich range of art, literary, and contemplative resources to stimulate the imagination and help you access images, themes, and insights that are personally meaningful — all held within the framework of Buddhist teachings.
