Lake broadwater hall on sunday 27th july
Yoga & Creativity - Awaken your body, quiet your mind & meet your creative self.
Join Nikki and writer, Jane Hultgren, for a soul-nourishing, joy-filled day designed to spark your creativity and reconnect you with the most inspired version of yourself.
Through a powerful fusion of yoga, guided meditation, journaling, and creative exploration, this experience invites you to quiet the noise, soften self-doubt, and open the door to your own creative flow.
Rooted in the transformative wisdom of The Artist’s Way (Julia Cameron), Big Magic (Elizabeth Gilbert), and The Gifts of Imperfection (Brené Brown), this day is your permission slip to:
✨ Create without pressure
✨ Move your body with presence and ease
✨ Write, reflect, and reconnect with your inner voice
✨ Let go of perfection and embrace self-expression
Whether you’re a seasoned artist or simply craving more inspiration, this is your invitation to breathe life into your ideas—and remember the magic that happens when you give yourself space to create.
Everyone - men & women - are welcome to join this supportive space of growth and creativity.
Whether it's art, cooking, gardening, journaling, scrapbooking, or even songwriting, in the busyness of life, making time for creative expression is often the first thing we put off… even though it's what nourishes us most.
And when we finally do carve out a moment, the pressure to “do it well” can sneak in. Suddenly, creativity becomes something we judge—rather than enjoy.
When perfectionism creeps in, self-doubt isn’t far behind. You start to wonder if you’re even creative at all—if you have a creative bone in your body.
But the truth is, creativity isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being present. It’s not something you have to earn or prove. It’s already within you — a natural, vibrant part of who you are, just waiting for space to breathe.
When you slow down, move your body, and give yourself space, your creative energy will start to rise again — gently, playfully, and without pressure.
THIS RETREAT IS YOUR INVITATION TO DO JUST THAT!
Feeling calm in your body, clear in your mind, and reconnected to you.
The mental noise has quietened.
Your self-doubt has softened.
You’ve moved, breathed, and created — without pressure, without judgment.
Ideas flowing more easily.
You're inspired, not overwhelmed...
Writer, Jane Hultgren, will guide you through a series of soulful, playful, and hands-on workshops inspired by the work of Julia Cameron, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Brené Brown.
Supported by Jane's wisdom and warmth, you'll gently be guided back to your creative self through memory, imagination, fun and instinct.
Jane creates a safe, encouraging space where you can explore your creativity without pressure — just curiosity, connection, and a touch of magic.
You’ll walk away feeling creatively recharged, with simple tools, personal insights, and a beautiful take-home booklet to keep the joy and momentum going.
