Retreat. Renew. Create

Creative Renewal Retreat

Slow down. Reflect. Move forward with energy and creativity.

5-Day Residential Retreat in Piedmont, Italy
Monday 11 May – Friday 15 May 2026

Facilitated by Nuala Dent & Jane Lowther, working at the intersection of leadership, creativity and reflective practice

In this increasingly noisy, distracting and demanding world, it feels harder and harder to find the time and space to focus on what is truly important. It may be a question or challenge that you are grappling with, a crossroads in your life that throws up tantalising alternatives, a creative impulse or work that is crying out for expression, or simply the opportunity to reconnect more deeply with yourself. The Creative Renewal Retreat opens up a quieter rhythm: a place to pause, reflect, and remember what calls for your attention. Slowing down for a time enables you to gather energy again, to refocus on a direction that has meaning for you.


Imagine yourself

It is May 2026… it’s springtime, and you’ve arrived at La Cassera, near the town of Acqui Terme in the beautiful Piedmont region of Italy. The area is famous for its natural mineral springs, local markets and vineyards. There is space to wander, to explore, and to let your mind roam free. You settle in, taking in the natural beauty. You feel ready for reflection, creativity and renewal. The Creative Renewal Retreat blends structured processes with spacious free time, each designed to support insight and creative flow. The rich, generative environment enables you to move gently between silence and solitude and moments of communal reflection. New insights emerge and, with them, renewed energy for action. You leave restored, with clarity, appreciation and a renewed sense of purpose.


Is it right for you?

This retreat is for people at a point of transition or re-orientation, or who carry significant responsibility and struggle to find time to reflect. It will appeal to those drawn to creative, reflective or contemplative ways of working, and who value depth, spaciousness and thoughtful conversation. No artistic experience is required; this is not about performance or productivity, but about renewal and re-connection.
