BE creative and write on Mallorca

Being creative means creating something new. In this retreat at the Son Manera Retreat Finca on Mallorca, we dive deep into our inner creativity and allow what wants to emerge in this moment to emerge - free from any censorship. The interplay of image and text gives us a deep insight into our inner self and we collect valuable pearls of self-knowledge. Using collages, brushes and paint, we create works of art that serve as stepping stones into writing. We also play with words and are amazed to discover the creative potential that lies within us.

Picturesquely situated on a gentle hill in the heart of Mallorca, our finca is the ideal place to linger and reflect on the important things in life. An oasis of tranquillity surrounded by olive groves and fig trees with a variety of recreational opportunities. Relax by the pool, on a walk through the garden or in our spacious spa with indoor pool, saunas and massage offers.

We pamper your palate with vegetarian-vegan full board. Enjoy a feel-good breakfast with Sonnentor tea, coffee, fruit juices, fruit, regional cheeses, seasonal vegetables, homemade jams, muesli, porridge, home-baked bread and much more until 11 am. In the late afternoon, you can fortify yourself with freshly prepared soups and salads before being invited to a buffet with vegetarian and vegan specialties in the evening.

You step out of your everyday life and rediscover your creativity. Questions such as "Who am I?", "What are my strengths?", "What is really important to me?" and "What are my visions and goals?" often have surprising answers - it's time to pursue them.

Creative writing makes it possible to visualize and organize thoughts. Collages, drawings and color games complement these thoughts with images that work where words fail. At the retreat, you have the freedom to try things out - without criticism or judgment. At the same time, there is enough time to explore the surroundings and go for walks.

Program schedule

Day 1: On the first day, you will get to know the group and immerse yourself in the first creative session with initial writing exercises and a collage.
