Connect, Create & Collaborate

Connect, Create & Collaborate An Experiential Retreat for Wellness Facilitators & Service providers Are you involved in creating wellness experiences, workshops or retreats? Join a diverse group of wellness facilitators, creatives and service providers for an inspiring and practical opportunity to connect, share expertise, try out new ideas and explore future collaborations. Whether you're a yoga teacher, art therapist, artist, meditation or mindfulness facilitator, massage therapist, caterer, photographer, retreat organiser or other wellness professional, this is an opportunity to learn from one another and discover what we could create together. What to expect: • Experience and share different wellness workshops and activities. • Trial new ideas and receive constructive feedback. • Explore opportunities to co-facilitate workshops and retreats. • Discuss practical business challenges, including pricing, marketing, ticket sales and paying collaborators. • Experiment with spontaneous collaborations and creative challenges. • Build meaningful professional connections in a relaxed, supportive environment. Part professional development, part networking, part creative exploration — with plenty of fun along the way! Come and test new ideas, receive constructive feedback, meet potential collaborators and leave with fresh inspiration, new connections and exciting possibilities for working together. Its not just workshop facilitators that get to try their ideas- a caterer could test a retreat menu, a photographer could experiment with capturing wellness activities, and a yoga teacher could trial a new session. Everyone benefits, not just the workshop facilitators. Everyone is encouraged to contribute their expertise, but not everyone needs to run a 45-minute workshop. There are 20 minute options and you can contribute through photography, catering, discussion, feedback or practical support. Cost: $90 per person (includes venue hire, coordination of event, morning tea). Min 10 people- max 30 people, Men welcome. Please bring lunch to share and own journal, pen, sketch book, yoga mat etc. Contribute to the event on the day e.g. help set up tables 30 mins prior to event or pack up or dishes during day. (photographer extra if hired). Facilitators are participating as peers rather than being paid to deliver workshops. Workshop spaces limited so see schedule below and nominate a workshop idea, time and duration (10mins-45 mins is ideal). The schedule below will be updated as nominations come in.
