CREATIVITY &

WELLBEING
BY THE SEA

27th and/or 28th September

Teignmouth, Devon

A day or two by the sea can boost our wellbeing in so many ways; the calming sounds of the waves, the sheer expanse of the sea helping to put things into perspective, and the feeling of sand between our toes making us feel grounded and connected. Add in some creativity and you've got a recipe for brilliant wellbeing.

Explore Your Creativity

Being by the sea can unearth all sorts of inspirational treasures and helps to trigger creativity, giving us a boost to our wellbeing.

This two-day event is designed to help you connect to the things that really matter. With our usual mix of creativity and mindfulness the

days will be spent exploring your creativity, understanding what makes you tick and connecting with yourself and like-minded people.

CREATE

We will unlock or harness your creativity

with fun, engaging and meaningful activities.

CONNECT

Inspiring activities will help you connect with yourself and the like-minded people around you.

RESTORE

Leave feeling positive, uplifted and inspired, ready to carry on creating through the winter months.

"If you had asked me I would have said that I was not creative. I was wrong, because

after completing the course I can see resources everywhere that I can use in a creative way.

This means I am enjoying life more fully and having more fun."

Business Growth Strategist, Dr Berrisford Lewis

About Your Host

Hi! I'm Melissa Noble, founder of The Academy of Wide-Hearted Living. The Academy offers courses, workshops and retreats, helping people get connected with their creativity so they can use it to make their life better.

My background is in social care, so I've always known how to support others wellbeing but I've not always been great at looking after my own. A few years ago, I made some big changes and started taking better care of myself.

Connecting with my creativity played a massive part in that. And since then, it's brought me a whole heap of joy. And that's what I want to share with other people.

Letting go of the need to get everything 'perfect' and just enjoy the process has been an incredible liberation. Combining creativity with mindfulness and nature practices makes an incredible cocktail!

I'm extremely excited about leading this new programme in beautiful Teignmouth. Recently I shared some of the activities with a whole tent full of people at Into the Wild festival. They went down a storm! I can't wait to share them with you. Any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
