Retreats
Rooted in my philosophy of LOVE Your Community, the residential creativity retreat is an invitation to step away from the everyday and take time to reconnect with your purpose allowing you the space to imagine new possibilities for change.
You will have the opportunity to explore nature based mythologies that will enhance your understanding of your leadership style and reveal how you observe the needs and impact of the work your organisations undertakes. You will also be encouraged gently to value your skills, resources and wisdom whilst also taking time to focus on the enterprising nature of your charitable activities.
Designed for trustees, leaders and change makers across the Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector, you'll spend time with poets, artists, facilitators, and fellow change-makers exploring the questions that matter most.
Come as you are - leave inspired, connected and ready to grow the love in your community

Creativity takes courage
"Together, we'll unpack what social justice means to you and your community. We will challenge inherited ways of thinking and celebrate the wisdom held within our own communities. You will be brave and make space for creativity, rest, reflection and hopefully you will embrace some your radical imagination and walk away with some bold new ideas.
Expect inspiring conversations, hands-on creative experiences, moments of joy, deep connection and plenty of opportunities to learn with, not from, each other.
You'll leave feeling re-energised in the company of a supportive community and will feel more equipped with fresh insights, practical ideas and the confidence to create change rooted in care, equity and collective wisdom"

This wonderful 2 day retreat at Hinsley Hall starting on Monday 1st February on St Brigid's Day, coincides with the ancient Celtic festival of Imbolc, a time that marks the first stirring of spring. Suitable for trustees, change makers and clergy who would like to take a few days out to rest, be creative and enjoy the wisdom of a very supportive community set in the sanctuary and extensive green spaces in and around Headingley, North Leeds.
Seeds will begin to awaken, roots will reach deeper as creation prepares for a new season of growth.
