A weekend away for makers, readers, and anyone overdue a break.
Picture this. A cosy coastal house on the Mornington Peninsula. Good food, good company, and a weekend with nowhere to be and nothing to rush.
That's what a Creative Makes retreat feels like: a small-group getaway where you're fed, creative, and completely looked after. A chance to slow down, get creative, read something you've been meaning to read, and genuinely switch off. No pressure to perform. No product to produce. Just time to make, move, soak, and breathe.
Our next retreat is currently paused, but we're planning to bring it back. Past retreats have included cosy coastal stays, hot springs soaks, creative workshops, shared dinners, and genuinely good company.
If you'd love to join a future retreat, register your interest below and you'll be the first to know when new dates are announced.
