Description

Treat yourself for a weekend of mindfulness at the beautiful Glasshouse Mountains Ecolodge, Southeast Queensland. Switch off from the everyday, recharge your batteries and get in touch with your creative side over the course of a weekend.

Our Autumnal Retreat will be held on 23-25 May 2025 and includes:

• 2 nights accommodation in ensuite bedroom (available single/twin share) at Glasshouse Mountains Ecolodge
• Group collaboration on large botanical watercolour artwork
• Low-impact walk around the base of Mt Tibrogargan
• 3hr mindful watercolour painting session
• Plein air painting session
• Morning movement meditation sessions
• Delicious vegetarian meals provided throughout
• Guided orchard/garden tour
• All necessary art materials
• A4 Framed completed artwork.

Upon arrival, you are invited to wander through the grounds and connect with nature, spend some time unwinding in the converted train carriage library, or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. There is an abundance of birdlife in the area, with regular sightings of King Parrots, Black Cockatoos and Kookaburras within the grounds. Coffee is grown and processed onsite, and there is also an orchard to wander around and sample in-season fruits.

After enjoying a delicious vegetarian dinner lovingly prepared in the converted train carriage kitchen by inhouse chef, Daniel, gather around the roaring fire in the converted Church and collaborate on a large rainforest-inspired watercolour artwork.

Each morning, you will have the opportunity to join in a 7am movement meditation session, with gentle movement and breathing designed to help the flow of your creative energy.  This will be followed by a delicious vegetarian breakfast on the train deck overlooking the rainforest.

A morning walk around the base of Mt Tibrogargan will give you the chance to take photos and gather inspiration to begin sketching your A4 sized rainforest-inspired watercolour painting.

After a nourishing lunch, you will participate in a 3hr watercolour painting session, bringing your ideas to life. Guidance will be provided throughout to resolve your painting into a completed artwork, which will be framed for you to take home with you at the conclusion of the retreat.

Sunday morning activities include morning meditation, breakfast and a group sharing session with framed artworks, followed by a 2hr plein air session on the front lawn painting landscape views of Mt Tibrogargan and surrounds.

The retreat will conclude at midday Sunday.
