Edgewalkers Creativity Retreats
These retreats are designed to help you explore your self-expression and creativity, learn from their team of dedicated artists and reconnect with nature during exciting walks or transformative retreats… and maybe discover just how creative you really are.
During the retreats the creative process is harnessed by guided walks immersed in nature through some of the most pristine and biodiverse environments in the world, including sections of the Cape to Cape track & Boranup forest in southwest Western Australia. In addition, special workshops with contributing local artists during each retreat will enhance your creativity experience.
