The aim of art therapy is to provide a safe nurturing environment for people to explore life situations though painting\, drawing\, collage\, clay with a therapist as witness. \nIt differs from traditional art in that the emphasis is on the process of creating rather than on the product\, so you do not have to be artistic to participate but simply willing to explore.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRestorative Yoga\n\nRestorative yoga is a slow and gentle style of yoga that helps physical\, mental\, and emotional relaxation and healing. It is doable by most people and is very enjoyable and there is no pushing or hard stretches. \n\nIt activates the parasympathetic nervous system allowing the ‘rest and digest’ to help functions work better. It is wonderful for restoration and reset\, reducing blood pressure\, helping us sleep better and letting us feel calmer. \n\nSlow Movement Meditations\nThese movements are slow and mindful\, allowing calm and awareness to infuse every move. These experiences increase our sense of wellbeing\, understanding of ourselves as well as grounding and centering us. It and helps us return to our bodies in a deeply nourishing and gentle way and is doable by everyone of all abilities.\nUsing nature and music we are guided towards changing our relationship with our bodies to an easier and healthier state. \n\n  \n  \nFacilitators: \n\nPhoenix Arrien is passionate about supporting people’s journeys towards healing and transformation.

A deep transformational retreat held in the middle of the forest in the beautiful Warburton Ranges. Feeling so nourished\, connected and ready to open my next life chapter  With Innate Wisdom Connection Thankyou  ’- Belinda Lee\n“Thank you for your care\, support. I feel like I can shine again” – Menka\n“Thank you for providing a safe relaxing space away from the madness of the world” – Nicole\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI was gifted this retreat at a moment in time when the earth felt pulled from beneath me.
