Join us for an informal series of talks and workshops at The Straw Yard.
Speakeasy is programmed by Berwick creatives Samantha Cary and Chris Adriaanse, who are inviting artists with practices that resonate with them to share insights about their career, art and creative practice.
As the season changes, we are delighted to be hosting Rafah Sabbagh at The Straw Yard for our third workshop.
Rafah will be creating space for a seasonal retreat for artists to help release, reset and replenish as we head into the darker, colder months.
A Seasonal Retreat: About the workshop
A restorative afternoon to slow down, recharge and return to yourself, feeling grounded, refreshed and renewed. Through intuitive connection exercises, guided meditation, gentle bodywork and creative reflection, you’ll have space to release what you no longer wish to carry, reconnect with yourself and nurture what you want to take forward.
All welcome.
