We are all creative beings. It is a natural part of being human to express our true self and to live in the flow of life. Often in life, we can become very busy and buffeted around by expectations. We can lose our sense of self and what truly matters. This retreat will help us to reconnect with our true self and to learn how to live a more peaceful, resonant and fulfilling life.

It will introduce us to and help us to start ‘The Artist’s Way’, a twelve-week creative and spiritual programme designed by Julia Cameron. The retreat experience comprises a series of guided conversations, interwoven with creative activities at Scargill and in our beautiful surrounding landscape.

It will be important for you to bring with you a copy of ‘The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity’ by Julia Cameron ISBN: 978-1788164290. It can be purchased at all main booksellers. Further information will be given at the time of booking on pre-reading of sections of this book.

Why come on this retreat?

We are all creative beings. It is a natural part of being human to express our true self and to live in the flow of life. Often in life, we can become very busy and buffeted around by expectations. We can lose our sense of self and what truly matters.

This retreat will help us to reconnect with our true self and to learn how to live a more peaceful, resonant and fulfilling life. The retreat will introduce us to and help us to start ‘The Artist’s Way’, a twelve-week creative and spiritual programme designed by Julia Cameron.

We may have a sense of how we wish to express ourselves; these may be fleeting ideas that go through our minds, long lost dreams from our early years or abandoned hobbies or projects. Such creative expressions are limitless in form. Also, we may have no real idea, just a sense of knowing that there is something to be expressed. All is okay.

The ‘Starting the Artist Way’ Scargill retreat is for anyone who is:

  • Sensing that they would like to express themselves creatively and not sure how to move forward
  • Drawn to develop more spiritually and not sure what this means
  • Wanting to bring more fun, playfulness and possibility into life
  • Feeling lost and wanting to reconnect with themselves and live more freely
  • Feeling tired and wanting to feel more energised and self-expressed
