SONG OF THE SEA
Three Day Creative Retreat | Mexico
Set within the idyllic landscapes of The Bay of California in Mexico, where the ocean wildlife is breathtaking, Song of the Sea is a three-day creative retreat to honour the wonder of blue whales, and our life-giving global seas, facilitated by Sandy Kilpatrick and Gillian Eilidh O’Mara. This one off retreat is turbocharged to help you reconnect — with yourself and with your creativity - by taking a deep dive into the astonishing world around us. Loosely inspired by Sandy’s own Song of The Sea, and Gillian’s work on her beautiful whale story Blue, each day of the retreat will focus on a different theme.
DAY 1:
CAUGHT ON A WAVE
Day one will focus on facing our own personal challenges, in parallel with the environmental and social destruction we are witnessing in the world at large - with the intention of passing through the weight of this suffering and heading towards the light.
DAY 2:
WIDE OCEAN BRIGHT
In this age of over stimulation and excessive information it can often feel as if we live in many different worlds. On day two we will focus on finding hope, and peace, in the face of all the drama and turmoil.
DAY 3:
THE SONG IN YOUR HEART
On day three we will, individually and collectively, imagine the kind of world we want to help shape. Through guided reflection and creative practice, we will explore how art can support healing, growth, and vision.
Whether you’re an artist, a writer, or simply someone looking for space to think and create, this retreat offers a stunning, powerful setting to do just that.
