Led by Jen Newton, Barbara Huntington and Brenda Roy

This annual retreat is for anyone who would like to be creative. The intention is to create a space that is supportive and nurturing to all, with time to focus on Spirit and Nature, to reflect on your creative practice and to rest in the Spirit knowing you are enough. We will immerse ourselves in the Country and the Spirit to be inspired to create. Some collaboration and sharing may occur as guided by the Divine.

Limit 12 participants.

Jen Newton lives in Mount Stuart on Nipuluna country, the land of the Muwinina people. She is a convinced Quaker and believes that her creativeness is part of her spiritual practice. Inspired by the natural environment, she explores textiles, mixed media, wearable art, photography, basketry, natural dyeing and recycled materials for sculptural pieces.

Barbara Huntington is a textile artist living at Fishermans Reach NSW on the banks of Macleay River on Dunghutti land. She is inspired by her environment, using natural dyes, slow embroidery and weaving to reflect her surroundings. She is a Quaker, inspired by poetry, her relationship to the environment and the Buddhist understanding that we are all connected.

Brenda Roy is a Quaker, gratefully living in Perth, on Whadjuk, Noongar, land. She is a spinner, weaver and natural dyer who finds delight in the colours and textures of the world around her. She follows an Earth Path spirituality, seeing the Spirit in all beings and believes in the power of making clothing and everyday objects which carry sacred intent.
