Soul Scripts – Our Bodies, Our Stories, Our Souls – Writing retreat in Agnes Water: Saturday, May 10th
AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY with highly acclaimed special guest Author and Educator – Dr Shelley Davidow, in Agnes Water, May 10th, 2025.
Are you feeling ready to take charge, release what’s holding you back, and explore your creativity – or write the next chapter of your life intentionally?
Shelley is an incredibly powerful story teller and educator, and has a uniquely engaging, supportive, and playful yet powerful way of drawing out your unique insights, creativity, and the stories that you don’t even know exist inside you!
Woven through the day of creative writing exercises, Melissa T guides you with honouring, intuitive yoga flows which incorporate movement, breath, and deep self-inquiry to unlock your heart whispers and creativity.
If you’re sick of the old stories that keep repeating, and you’re feeling like life needs a bit of an injection of fresh energy, this one is not to be missed! No writing experience necessary.
