Make it stand out.

For photographers, designers, writers, musicians, artists – feeling the need to slow down and reconnect. Maybe you’re questioning what’s next. Maybe you’re in the midst of building something new. Or maybe you simply need space to breath – to step out of the routine and back into yourself.

This is an invitation..

to cut through the noise and bring big ideas back down to earth – turning creativity into something simple and real. Less about chasing, more about finding creative flow in everyday life.

At the heart of this retreat is sensory immersion and creative freedom. Here, you’ll learn simple tools and practices from leading voices in the wellbeing and creative space to help you stay grounded, focused and inspired in your everyday life – long after the retreat ends.

This retreat is for you if...

You feel creatively stuck or overwhelmed

You want to build mindful daily habits

You’re ready for a reset in nature

You value creative community & connection

In partnership with MARQI hotel.

“Through immersive moments –

barefoot walking on sun-kissed beaches, mindful morning routines, visualization exercises and the power of manifestation – you’ll rediscover creativity as a natural daily rhythm.”

What’s included:

  • 5 days, 4 nights at Marqí, a secluded hillside sanctuary with exotic gardens, stunning valley views and nearby beaches.

    Run by artists, Marqí offers the perfect sanctuary for solitude, reflection and creative exploration.

  • Across 8 immersive sessions – you’ll move through guided meditation, intuitive movement, and creative exploration designed for lasting transformation.

    Led by leading voices in both the wellbeing and creative space, these workshops offer insight into how working creatives stay connected – to their practice, their process, and themselves. You’ll gain exclusive behind-the-scenes knowledge, honest tools and truths, fresh perspectives and a renewed sense of direction.

  • All the habits and rituals you will gain from the retreat will form your very own creative compass – designed to guide you when you’re feeling overwhelmed or off track. You’ll leave with simple, lasting tools to help you stay focused through creative blocks, deadlines and burnout.
