The Portal

4th - 9th July 2024

“The goal of art isn’t to attain perfection. The goal is to share who we are. And how we see the world.”

Welcome to The Portal, your home for the next 6 days and window to a more, creative, abundant and fulfilled life. We can’t wait to share the magic that is in store for you these next few days.

On your bed you will have found some treasures, these are gifts to help you rest, reset and navigate these next few days. You will have a notebook and a sketchbook, to get the most out of this experience, keep these on you and close at all times, they will help guide your path in times of need. Your notebook is to be used for your morning pages, this is your stream-of-consciousness style writing to be done first thing in the morning. Write 3 pages of freehand before doing anything else, it is not meant to be “good” or read by anyone, it’s meant to help you clear your mind. Your sketchbook should always be at your side, in case of divine inspiration. Add something to this book at least once per day. It could be a sketch, cut-out, drawing, poem, prose, painting, plant, flower, water-color, a mix of them all…whatever you decide. Free your mind and experiment, answer the call and give in to your creative expression.

We have been lucky enough to partner with some beautiful brands that you will see in your gift bag, if you love them, please share and tag, these brands are so happy to have you using and treasuring their pieces!

Finally, this is a no-rules, anything-goes house, we want you to feel free and liberate your inner creative, but we have to be mindful of our sisters, please kindly abide by our 3 commanments:

  1. THOU SHALL CREATE IN NATURE
    Creative expression + paintings / crafts to be performed in outside spaces.

  2. THOU SHALL RESPECT THY SISTER’S SPACES
    Do not enter rooms which do not have your name on them.

  3. THOU SHALL REST AFTER 22:30
    Play and creation are hard work, quiet time after 22:30 to be mindful of those who wish to rest.
