How would it be to get so completely lazy that only new things can emerge from where you are, and out of the vacuum created in your rest?

In our weekend retreat …

If you want to write it down, then do, write it down

Have a journal and a writing implement nearby so you can languidly reach over, and gently record your creation…

Holding lazy as a sacred insult that means you are entirely mammaling well

Moving - dance as a child, sing as a sprite, revel in languid luxury like a painting, sit together and chat, converse, muse, compliment, receive

Take minimum action and…

By action - you might write them down, or just let them sit

You might just say them out loud or you may go pick a flower to remind you of the thoughts that sauntered into your brain.

You may frolic with the thought and call in a chat. A meandering chat that has no destination beyon being on the company of women, weaving ordinary magic

When you are listening really listen - get quiet

Expand people’s ideas 

Love on our bodies unapologetically

Love on each others bodies

Collect shells and pebbles

Ask the beach for things

Look at animals

See things flying 

Get bitten but preferably not by snakes - get evidence of your place in the wild

Feeding 

Performance, yet nothing performative

Unless performative is your way into things

Cringe

Be earnest  

Sincere

Cynical

Comedic

Don’t get dressed all day

Smell

Sit in water together

Bathe

Shower

Personal hygiene is optional

Go slow

Prove nothing; or everything if that’s the vibe

Snack

Nap

Say things 

Be GOD FORBID unprofessional

Read a poem or a phrase from a book

Sneak off for an orgasm

Recommend sex toys

Wear things you are ashamed to wear, because of the gaze of people whose opinion doesn’t matter to you, yet could harm you. You are smart not to wear that thing on the daily - you are smart so smart. We are not those people. But here, you can wear it. Let what naturally wants to sit on your body sit on your body.

This is so much about subtraction, not addition

Well not subtraction just doing nothing

We highly highly recommend not looking at your phone, taking facebook and instagram off your phone and als ignoring that because you might want to spend all weekend on your back scrolling with gay abandon

Do it

We will provide a camera to play with 

You could input down to nature input and just see what happens

Get cooked for and cleaned for - no exceptions

No group doing-things duties

Declare - I just dreamed something up!

I just had a notion

Something just wafted through my thoughts

Look, I found a nice stick

Have you seen this stone?

I just flirted with a leaf

When was the last time you just sat around, lay around or hung out with other women?

Not talking about duties, kids, work, a schedule, sunscreen, strategy, food, other people, busy-ness, weight, clothes (besides to just love on them), bodies (besides to just love on them), hair (besides just to love on it)

You look nice

Thank you

Receive compliments

When was the last time you surrounded yourself with notebooks and books and had no need to clear them up?

You let yourself get dreamy - like do a visualisation, not to identify your next steps, although they may just slowly or quickly emerge, but to just enjoy being in the dreamworld. Just to get dreamy. Not for any other reason but to kick back, relax and get dreamy.

Not a bullet point in sight.

No goals
No pre-retreat preparation
No pre-retreat questionnaire

Just a big open space with some lovely things around

Maybe press a flower - beautiful you find yourself jumping to making the most beautiful flower mandala of them all - then maybe just chill

Competitive relaxing - just sit at our table and yeah, saunter, potter, putter, lie down, laze around, stretch like a cat, enthuse like a dog

Get in water, be in water. Take a ‘mystic dip’ these are different from ‘going for a swim’ and all its expectation. 

You get in the water.

There’s a lot more potent magic there.

Or maybe just jump in the waves, or float on your back or splash a friend or float on a floaty.

Essency
Saunter and frolic through the waves
Pleasure and enjoyment as the absolute priority

No Healing

Yeah. No. There will be absolutely no healing.

I said it.

Sarah cannot heal you. 

Angela cannot heal you. 

Zero healings. 

Healing nashi. 

We may administer insect bite remedies

Apply sunscreen or after sun

Or a plaster to a small cut

Beyond that

No healing

Guaranteed

I mean - you do you if you feel like something is shifting or healing in you, then please leap to your feet and declare…

IT’S MIRACLE!

I take my miracles tiny

Rain

A tree

The mantis that was hanging out in my hall

The message my friend left me

Waves

The massive sting-ray I saw in my local harbour late June 

Angela

Being in love

Girl crushes

Long friendships

Weird coincidence 

Deep deep relaxation

Sarah’s round belly 

Ange’s 6-pack

Sarah’s Bingo Wings

Ange’s guns

Surgery - I mean, surgeons are bloody wizards

They are the real miracle workers

We shall not be performing surgery

Sarah cannot heal you

Angela cannot heal you

No healing. 

What if there were magazines and images just lying around?  For you to dip in and out of. To saunter through. If you wanted to grab a pair of scissors you could, if you felt like it.

You could stick them on something if you wanted. You could call it a vision board or a collage if you wanted. You might even call it decoupage. Or you might just pick up a pair of scissors, then like some old-timey lady, come over a bit faint and put them down and lie down to recover.

No fomo

No-one will be doing anything so it’s impossible to fear missing out
Saunter into a forest, pick a flower, pick arms full.

Outdoors vibes or Air con vibes - all good. 

No sudden movements - you might disrupt an aura (LOL)

Yet a surprise frolic will be a happy event 

Karaoke - sing or not

Dance like people are watching - seriously - you don’t want to look like a dick. I mean I don’t care about that but, you know, people do judge. I love a dance - I really do, so much so that someone came up to me and told me I was a good dancer last time I cut a rug

Personal hygiene is a choice. 

So is perfume - you can wear what you want - go ahead. I miss the smell of human bodies and perfume
Maybe listen to the future self inner mentor visualisation 

Maybe reach back and have conversations with your generations before

SWIMSUITS - bring them

Bring your own bubbles!

Towels are provided 

Massages optional and additional from a place down the road depending on availability

But if you have a special towel or throw or a sarong you love - come saunter in your wrap

Myth Change - change your myths around being in your body and being busy - busy will not be a banned word but, you know, you’ll not be getting a cigar if you use it

Un-busy
