Learn the art of slowing down and reconnecting with yourself amidst life's busyness in this one-day retreat at the scenic CERES Environment Park in Brunswick East, Victoria.
This experience is crafted for beginners—no prior skills are necessary, and there's no pressure for perfection. You'll be gently guided through the day, creating space for exploration and self-discovery.
You will first collect nature materials around the venue, then use acrylic paints to bring them to life on paper. After that, you will meditate or take a yoga stretch.
Leave feeling more inspired, rested and rejuvenated!

CERES is about a 2 minute walk east from the tram stop.

Take connection buses such as the 508 from Northcote or Brunswick stations or the 503 from Anstey station and you will be a short 2 minute walk from CERES. ​ For more public transport details check out the Public Transport Victoria website.
