A retreat to reconnect with your creativity, rediscover your spark and make space for you.
Palm Court Retreats, Polperro,
Cornwall
When was the last time you did something just for the pure joy of it?
Perhaps it's time to make a little space for you.
Life can get busy. Between work, family, responsibilities and looking after everyone else, it's easy to put the things you love to one side.
Perhaps you've got a creative side that's been gathering dust. An idea you've been meaning to explore, something you've always wanted to try or simply a feeling that you'd love a little more inspiration and excitement in your life.
The Creative Awakening Retreat is an invitation to step away from the everyday, reconnect with that part of yourself and rediscover what happens when you give yourself permission to explore.
Over a few days, we'll bring together creativity, movement, nature, nourishing food and good company to create a space where you can switch off, get curious, try something new and have a little fun.
You don't need to be artistic, particularly creative or have any experience. You just need to come with an open mind and a willingness to see what unfolds.
This is your time to play, create, connect and discover what else is possible.
What if you gave yourself permission to try something new?
Imagine a few days away from the usual routine. Waking up somewhere beautiful, starting your morning with Kundalini Yoga, enjoying delicious food and spending your days exploring ideas, getting creative and connecting with like-minded women.
We'll explore creativity in all sorts of ways, from vision boards and hands on workshops to finding inspiration in nature and discovering new ways to express yourself.
There'll be no pressure to get things right, no expectations and certainly no need to be good at anything - it’s a place to connect and have a bloody good laugh!
It's about enjoying the process, following your curiosity and seeing where your imagination takes you.
And who knows? You might discover a new passion, an idea you've been sitting on or simply reconnect with a part of yourself you've not given much attention to for a while.
What to ExpectA boutique coastal creative retreat to reset your nervous system, reconnect to yourself, and soften into the magic of Spring. A gentle pause from the pace of everyday life. The Creative Awakening Retreat in Polperro, Cornwall is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself through guided experiences, restorative space, and time to simply be.
❋ Intentional StructureExpertly blended guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect - so the experience feels both focused and fluid.
❋ Collaborative EnergyConnection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.
❋ Expert FacilitationLed by Kaye who has over 10 years of Kundalini yoga experience and is an expert in holding space, encourage participation, and keeps things moving with purpose.
❋ A Supportive SpaceMy events prioritise comfort, safety, and respect, so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.
❋ Inspiration from natureSometimes the best ideas come when we slow down and really look around us. We'll take inspiration from the natural world, exploring colours, textures, shapes and patterns and bringing those little sparks of inspiration into our creative sessions.
This Retreat is for you if…
Creative Awakening is for women who are ready to make a little more room for themselves.
Perhaps you love knitting, crafting, painting, making things or exploring new ideas. Perhaps you've always wanted to be more creative but never quite found the time.
Maybe you're at a point in life where you fancy trying something different, meeting new people or rediscovering the things that make you feel excited and inspired.
You might be looking for a little change of scenery, a chance to step outside your comfort zone or simply a few days where you don't have to think about anyone else.
You don't have to be a yogi, an artist or even consider yourself creative.
You just need to be curious about what might happen when you give yourself the space to explore.
❋ A balance of guidance and spaciousnessFeel supported in every moment, while still having the freedom to move at your own pace, everything is optional.
❋ Time to rest, reflect and integrateGentle pauses woven throughout the day to help you absorb the experience and reconnect with yourself and have your own personal down time.
❋ Daily KundaliniWe'll start each morning with Kundalini Yoga, using movement, breathwork and meditation to release, reset and get the energy flowing. A chance to quiet the noise, reconnect with yourself and create space for fresh ideas and inspiration. No previous experience needed.
❋ Creative WorkshopsTime to get hands on, experiment and explore your creative side. From vision boards to playful creative activities, we'll give you the space to try things you've perhaps never considered before.
What Will You Take Away?
More than just a few days away.
You'll leave with:
A renewed sense of inspiration and a little more energy for life.
Fresh ideas and creative possibilities to explore.
A vision board reflecting what excites you and what you'd love to bring into your life.
New experiences and perhaps a few unexpected discoveries about yourself.
New friendships and connections with like minded women.
A reminder that creativity, curiosity and play don't have an age limit.
Most importantly, you'll have given yourself permission to do something just for you.
Why Cornwall?
The wild Cornish coastline has a way of helping us slow down.
Fresh sea air.
Endless beaches.
Coastal walks.
Big skies.
The rhythm of the ocean.
Our retreat venue has been carefully chosen to offer comfort, tranquillity and the space to completely switch off from everyday life.
There's something about being beside the sea that naturally settles the nervous system. You'll have time to walk, rest, reflect and simply be.
If you've been searching for a wellness retreat in Cornwall or a peaceful escape by the coast, this is your invitation.
Your hosts - meet Kaye
After 20 years in corporate digital marketing, I decided there was more to life than deadlines, emails and the daily grind!
A journey of self discovery led me to Kundalini Yoga, and eventually a completely different way of living. Since then, I've lived in a van, travelled, taught yoga at festivals and explored all sorts of ways to bring more creativity, freedom and joy into life.
I'm passionate about bringing people together, creating experiences and encouraging women to step outside their comfort zones, try something new and embrace what's possible.
I believe creativity isn't just about making things. It's about being curious, having fun and giving yourself permission to do things differently. This is the retreat I wish i went on many years ago.
Your hosts - meet Jo
Jo is the creative mind behind KNITTEDly, creating beautiful, hand knitted mohair pieces inspired by her love of colour, texture and making things by hand.
Having learnt to knit from her dad and grown up surrounded by creativity, she eventually followed her own dream at 45, turning a lifelong passion into her own business.
After joining Kaye's October retreat, Jo experienced first hand the power of Kundalini Yoga and how beautifully it works alongside creativity. She discovered how movement, energy and giving yourself space can open up new ideas, inspiration and possibilities.
Inspired by that experience, she's passionate about bringing these elements together and creating spaces where other women can reconnect with their own creativity, explore new ideas and rediscover the joy of making.
At Creative Awakening, Jo will be sharing her creative flair, ideas and love of making, encouraging you to experiment, play and discover what happens when you give your imagination a little room to run wild.
Your hosts - meet Luca
Luca is the creative soul behind Palm Court Retreats, and her creativity is everywhere, from the beautiful interiors and thoughtful little details to the welcoming atmosphere she's created.
As our host, she'll be working her magic behind the scenes, making sure everything is taken care of, from delicious, nourishing food to creating a beautiful space for you to relax and enjoy. She's also a passionate creative herself and will be joining us in our creative workshops, bringing her own ideas and inspiration to the experience.
So leave the cooking, organising and washing up to Luca. You can simply switch off, get creative and enjoy being looked after!

FAQs
I've never done Kundalini yoga before. Is this retreat still for me?
1
Absolutely. Most women who come to my retreats have never tried Kundalini before and that's completely fine. There's nothing to learn in advance, nothing to get right, and no experience needed. I'll guide you through everything. All I ask is that you come with an open mind and a willingness to show up for yourself.
5
I'm not very flexible / I have a physical limitation. Can I still participate?
2
What's included in the price?
Yes and this comes up more than you'd think. Kundalini yoga is not about flexibility or fitness. It's about energy, breath, and awareness. I adapt every session to where you are in your body. If something doesn't work for you, we find what does. You're in safe hands.
6
I'm sceptical about energy healing and some of the more spiritual elements. Is this still for me?
3
Honestly, good. Some of my favourite people in the room are the sceptics. I won't push anything on you. Everything is optional, nothing is forced, and you're always free to take what resonates and leave what doesn't. The practices work whether you believe in them or not - your nervous system doesn't need convincing.
I'm worried I won't be able to switch off from work.
4
That feeling is exactly why you need this. I hear it from almost every woman who books. And almost every woman who comes tells me that by day two, something in her just... lets go. The environment, the practices, the ocean air - they do the work so you don't have to force it.
Everything except your travel to Polperro. That means your accommodation, all meals (nourishing, locally sourced, homemade), all yoga sessions, workshops, meditations, and any group activities during the retreat. The only extras would be bespoke 1:1 pre-booked healing sessions.
I can't afford to pay in full right now. Are there payment options?
Yes, always. I offer flexible payment plans because I know that investing in yourself is a big deal, especially when you're already carrying a lot. Just drop me a message and we'll find something that works for you.
