The Portal
5 night slow-living, creative retreat.
We believe that creative expression is not just for professional artists, the walls of galleries or the pages of glossy books, it’s for all of us, it’s our birthright. And accessing our inner artist allows for more than creativity on a canvas, but opens up boundless possibilities and potential to transform our lives into ones of fulfilment, abundance and romance. Through The Portal you will access new methods to channel your creativity discover new inspirations and unearth new forms of self-expression, both in the ordinary and the extraordinary. Making our lives our own masterpiece, and to make the act of living itself an art, is the goal.
At the core of this Retreat are Slow Living practices, so you can expect long dinners among the trees at sunset, collective creation, romancing everyday activities, picnics, slow breakfasts in nature, noticing the little moments, local ingredients and guides, walks through the olive groves, and very importantly being surrounded by other women who love these things too.
With a focus on experimentation and creative play, we will unlock and heal our inner child through activities and workshops designed to gently expand our minds, hearts and souls. We will discover new tools and techniques, as well as the artist within, as we create, forage, write, cook, play, rest and grow together.
Our bodies will be nourished by food from the land, with a focus on local and Mediterranean ingredients and recipes. Private chef included, all meals will be provided for, focusing on as food as medicine. There will also be instances, such as pasta classes, where we all become a part of the creative cooking process.
There will also be time for rest and relaxation, allowing you to discover the beautiful property, get lost in the olive trees, say hi to the neighbours (the sheep) and explore every nook and cranny of the house in your own time. Opportunities to sit and read by the pool, creative free-time to move at your own pace, time for morning pages and swims in crystal waters of the local cala. Only the best things come with time, so we will always move at an unhurried pace.
