Adventures in Creativity
A restorative creative retreat
in Calamandrana, Italy
May 20th to May 24th, 2026
Join Creative Coaches Kate Beales and Rachel Fowler at the captivating Casa Luna for a few days of creativity, solitude, beauty and community - a chance to be present with yourself and be creative.
​
If you are looking for a place to reflect on yourself, spark your creativity and be in community with likeminded creative souls, this is the retreat for you.
​
This retreat is designed to awaken your senses and focus on yourself - in a beautiful setting in the countryside of northern Italy.
​
Farm to table food to nourish your body, community to nourish your soul, quiet solitude for personal reflection to nourish your mind and a measure of creativity to nourish your imagination.
​
We are all born creative, and sometimes life gets busy and we can forget how to access it. We will play with the environment, write some, create small pieces of art with our hands. Whether you are a constant creative or someone who just wants more creativity in their life, these gentle workshops will re-invigorate you in a lush, warm and safe environment.
