Adventures in Creativity 17th to 21st September 2026

Do you love the idea of trying out new creative activities – if only you didn’t have so many competing commitments?

Would you like to rest and recharge in the company of open-minded and adventurous creative companions?

Would you enjoy walking, swimming, playing pickleball and relaxing on the terrace in a comfortable farmhouse surrounded by the beautiful hills and vineyards  of northern Italy?

Then ADVENTURES IN CREATIVITY may be for you…

Find time to reflect and recharge. Discover how creativity fills your cup.

Sometimes, what you need is a little time away from home, in a beautiful setting with like-minded people and a couple of pretty cool guides.

This is what this retreat is all about.

Time in beautiful Piemonte where you can rest, as in sleep,
and rest, as in find your flow and access your creativity.

Over the four days, Kate Beales and I will guide you through different expressive practices – you can innovate, forge new neural pathways, discover and reflect on what gives you joy, pleasure in an act of radical self care.  We will create a community together, where we break bread and sit by the fire or the pool, and discover what creativity does for us and how it works for us.

Creative exercises may include collage, writing, drawing, and exploring the natural landscape in sound and sculpture.
