Creative Retreats · December 2026 · Spain · Europe · Worldwide On Request
A multidisciplinary creative retreat curated and hosted by Iris Jacobs and Claudia Font — bringing together movement, voice, theatre, writing, visual art, play, rest and meaningful connection.
Designed as a spacious artistic immersion to reconnect with your imagination, your body, your freedom and the deeper pulse of what wants to be created through you.
Retreat Details
Visual art, storytelling, movement, theatre, voice, reflection, creative courage, rest, ritual, shared meals and a slower rhythm of being — held in a spacious and intimate setting.
What This Is
This retreat is designed as a beautifully held creative immersion in which artistic exploration, embodiment, reflection and rest are given equal space.
It is not about pressure, performance or productivity. It is about creating enough space for curiosity, instinct and imagination to become audible again.
