Art, Expression and Creativity Retreat

Discover the Joy Within: Immerse in a holistic retreat blending theatre, dance, and the art of the clown. Embrace transparency, unlock your inner child, and play your way to mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Join us for laughter, self-discovery, and a profound journey with specialist support. Be the clown you choose to be!

This retreat is a bath of health on a mental, physical and emotional level. Through different disciplines such as theatre, dance and other types of arts we look for the best way to relate to ourselves and others, developing the capacity for fun, through play and exploring our most creative side.

It is undoubtedly a complete, fun and profound retreat with many benefits on all levels.

This therapy encourages us to be “TRANSPARENT”. It encourages us to explore our emotions and connect with our inner child.

Join us to share, dance, create and play.

We will delve into theatre, specifically the figure of the CLOWN.

What is a clown?

The clown is a funny, pathetic and poetic archetype.

It serves as a mirror in which people look at themselves. We are all clowns to some extent, especially when we choose to be.

The clown is-

  • Immune to discouragement;
  • Positive in tribulations;
  • Well-meaning bumblers;
  • Provokers of laughter;
  • Bringers of catastrophes; and,
  • Innocent miscreants free from all guilt.

 

Clowning around is a fun activity. It helps you identify the clown in you. Humour is an antidote to sadness and leads you to play:

  • For the pleasure of playing.
  • To improvise;
  • To structure our ideas;
  • To move through space;
  • To get our blood flowing;
  • To interact with the group;
  • To feel accepted in our comic, poetic and ethical vision.
Specialist Support

Our warm and diverse team of specialists will work hand in hand with you, providing group and individualised activities and therapies to help you go deep within in a safe space where there is no judgement, and you will feel supported, channel your inner child, feel empowered and celebrated.
