Curiosity, Creativity, Clarity
Friday 7th Aug 5:30pm - Sunday 9th Aug 5:30pm
$749 per person| Early bird special $ 699
Held during the Lion's Gate weekend—a time many people associate with reflection, courage and new beginnings—this intimate retreat offers the opportunity to step away from everyday life, slow down, become curious, and explore yourself in new ways.
The mandala sits at the heart of the weekend. Used for centuries as a symbol of wholeness and balance, you'll experience the mandala through three unique creative journeys. Using natural materials, colour, pattern and symbolism, you'll discover how creativity can become another way of understanding yourself, your life and the possibilities ahead. No artistic experience is needed—just a willingness to explore.
Set within the elegant surroundings of The Art and Living Space, the lovely home, the art studio and peaceful forest and grounds, you'll be welcomed into an environment designed to help you relax, create and reflect. With just nine participants, there is time for meaningful conversations, laughter, personal attention and genuine connection.
Throughout the weekend you'll create your own mandalas, build a crystal grid, explore numerology, astrology, oracle cards and intuitive guidance, experience a deeply relaxing Saturday evening sound bath, and enjoy delicious home-cooked meals. Every experience has been chosen to offer another perspective, helping you better understand yourself, what matters most to you, and where you may wish to head next.
Whether you're looking for greater balance, fresh inspiration, renewed purpose or simply time to refill your cup, this weekend is an investment in yourself. You'll return home with your own creative mandalas, a handcrafted Wisdom Card pack and matching journal from the final edition, a personal reading, a one-page profile of insights and practical "where to from here" guidance, along with fresh perspectives and a deeper understanding of yourself.
Come with curiosity. Leave with greater clarity.
