Expand your sense of possibility with a transformative writing practice in the cork woods of Monte da Japonica.

 We are all born with a wild imagination. It is through this unlimited creative resource that we can access the unconscious, connect with our intuition, develop a greater degree of self-awareness and expand our sense of possibility. Fire Your Wild Imagination will be a chance to explore this vast inner superpower through a holistic creative practice underpinned by Jungian psychoanalysis and neuroscience that uses writing and imagination to tap into the unseen and untether creativity with the gentle guidance of Dr Rachel.

Fire Your Wild Imagination will include daily depth writing workshops where you will write, share and discuss with others as well as plenty of time to write alone and explore the beautiful surroundings of Monte da Japonica. It will be a rejuvenating time of exploration and connection, writing and reflection, spending time in nature and enjoying meals together around the Monte da Japonica kitchen table.

The retreat is for anyone who is curious about how writing can be used to support transformative growth alongside creative and therapeutic practitioners who would like to expand their range. The focus of the retreat will be on process, rather than outcome, and on what comes up in the writing, rather than craft, skills and technique. Although the practice of depth-writing is therapeutic, it is not therapy so you’re invited to take responsibility for your own experience, go at your own pace and engage with the material at a level that feels right for you. No previous writing experience is necessary and there will be no pressure to read anything out. All you need is a spirit of adventure and curiosity.
