As this year comes to an end, Parihoa Ignited is a three-day creative retreat for you to reflect, resource, and reignite your creativity in the peaceful beauty of Parihoa Farm. Hosted by creative facilitators Anna Davis and Marko Ayling, this immersive experience offers you the chance to slow down, reconnect, and renew your creative inspiration, vision, and purpose for 2025.
Whether you are looking for inspiration, connection, or feeling drained or blocked, this is a supportive, playful space for people of all creative backgrounds and experiences to reconnect with their artistic voice and recommit to what is most important to them in nature and community. This is a space to reflect on the past year, unearth your creative dreams, work through your challenges and blocks, and emerge with energy, vision, and courage to bring your projects to life in the new year.
Everyone is welcome – this space is for you.
In Parihoa Ignited, Anna and Marko will guide you through a range of practices — from meditations and writing prompts, to somatic exercises and deep dives into the imagination, walks in nature, and creative brainstorming sessions. You will unearth your creative dreams, navigate your creative blocks and draw on your strengths, develop a vision for the new year, and identify tangible steps you can take to realise it.
Check-in and ease into the retreat with an opening circle and welcome dinner. Discover the gorgeous Parihoa property before you begin your creative journey through reflective writing prompts and meditation to explore your current creative state.
Activate your creative potential with writing exercises, meditations, active imaginations, and somatic movement in nature to unearth creative dreams and work through blocks. Close the day with a cacao ceremony to reflect on the past year and seed your creative vision for 2025.
Seize the last day overlooking the sea as we harness inspiration and purpose through writing, mindful movement, and dedicated time to develop your vision. Close the retreat with a meditation to identify next steps for the year ahead and a final sharing circle to inspire, commit, and create!
During your retreat at Parihoa, you'll have access to a range of wonderful amenities to help you to rest, reconnect and resource yourself and your creativity. Unwind in the sauna and ice bath, energise and strengthen in the gym, take a dip in the pool and spa, or enjoy a walk through Parihoa's beautiful landscapes, at your pleasure.
