Facilitated Session
Through guided discussions and activities, the facilitated session aim to inspire a positive mindset shift, fostering a sense of purpose and motivation. Our hope is that this session becomes a catalyst for participants to embrace intentional living, make meaningful changes, and leave the retreat feeling inspired to embark on a journey of positive transformation.
This unique opportunity encourages participants to reflect on their aspirations, values, and personal goals in a relaxed and supportive setting.
Self-Directed Time
Our Self-Directed Time initiative is meticulously crafted to offer individuals a dedicated space for the exploration of new interests and hobbies. Participants are encouraged to embrace the liberty and freedom afforded by this programme, allowing them to allocate their time without feeling overly entangled in the hustle of daily life. Embracing a slow pace is not only acceptable but actively encouraged.
An extensive array of materials will be available at our self-directed corner, allowing you to participate in a diverse range of activities, including crafts, sports, and self-reflective exercises. Examples of such activities include art jamming, creating DIY mosaic coasters, journaling, practicing yoga, painting, cycling, and more.
Upcoming Dates
More Dates will be available in 2025!

Each run will need a minimum of 15 participants.
A Confirmation Email/Message will be sent 2 weeks prior to the retreat date to confirm (if there is more than 15 participants) or to cancel (if there is less than 15 participants).
