PROGRAM – 2022 Creative Mental Health Forum and Self Care Retreat

We pay our respects to the Boon Wurrung People, the Traditional Owners of this place in which we meet.
We honour them, their elders and their ancestors.
We thank them for Welcoming us here to this meeting place in their Country.

The 2022 Creative Mental Health Forum and Self Care Retreat is proudly endorsed by PACFA for 13 hours of CPD.

 

You are encouraged to arrive on Thursday evening so that you can enjoy Friday morning, maybe have a walk on the beach, a massage, a leisurely coffee or catch up with friends. 

If you would like to start the day with a swim and begin your retreat by absorbing the benefits of immersing in the waters here, there are wetsuits available for hire through OffShore Surf School in Inverloch on Friday morning.

The program begins at 1pm on Friday 6th May.

There are two optional self care workshops on Saturday and Sunday. Please choose just one of these to attend and use the other block of time to have your lunch break.

We have a very full schedule and do not expect you to attend every single workshop.

Please be mindful of your energy. Look after yourself and take time out whenever you need a walk, rest or solo time.
