Description
Next to the power of Table Mountain, in Cape Town, on 3-9 November 2025, we will gather for 7 consecutive days of deeply cathartic artistic ceremony.
- What we hold onto end up making our mind, body and soul sick.
- What doesn't flow with ease causes dis-ease.
- Flow state practices where art creation and psychology merge, really tap into those hidden spaces in the psyche - and storage spaces in the body - to bring light to what's really going on underneath the noise of the world.
This is your Catharsis, what have you been holding in for way too long? What is it time to feel and release?
THIS IS FOR YOU IF YOU
- Are in deep transition and want assistance in an energetic rebirth and refresh.
- Have been holding onto deep resentment, anger or rage, unable to find a healthy expression for such an intense emotion.
- Have unresolved grief, sadness or abandonment stuck in your chest and middle back that won't shake off.
- Find yourself longing for deeper exhales and moments of mental quietness.
- Long for a compassionate, deep feeling and wise community healing together.
- Wish for a transformative experience on your travels.
- Want to alchemise something that feels ugly and dense, into something truly beautiful, profound and yours.
- Feel you have deeply profound art waiting inside of you, waiting for a moment to unleash onto canvas.
- Feel the ache of unexpressed poetry and medicine stories wanting to be shared through writing.
- Feel dull, bored and uninspired with life, ready to become both the artist of your life and the muse. The author of your story and the main character.
Open for all levels of art experience.
