Day Retreat - Yoga & Nature Drawing
9am -5pm Sunday 21 April with Kate Roseth & Elizabeth Martin
This Day Retreat is born out of Kates two loves...
Art and Yoga.
Kate, Senior Agoy Yoga teacher is collaborating with local artist Elizabeth Martin to bring you a day of yoga and nature drawing.
The day will start with a ferry ride across the harbour, leaving behind the drama of life and stepping into salty air, nature and your true self.
The day includes a yoga practice of about 90 minutes to get us into our bodies and out of our heads to prepare us for the nature drawing practice, followed by a nature walk through the stunning bushland surrounding the retreat property where you will be invited to collect some objects to inspire your drawing.
Lunch will be served and a chance to meet like minded people and make new friends with your fellow yogi/artists.
After lunch Elizabeth will guide you through a nature drawing exercise around 2hrs. You never have to have drawn before to do the exercise. It great for beginners and experienced artists as a way to connect the nature and mark making.
By this point you'll have been sitting awhile and be ready to jump in the pool or stretch out on the verandah and stare into the wild.
The afternoon will include a restorative yoga class, followed by afternoon tea, a closing circle and then back to the ferry.
Catch the 9am ferry over to Mandorah and the 5:20pm ferry back to Darwin
Participants will be picked up and dropped off from Mandorah Jetty and transported to the most amazing day of restoration, relaxation and rejuvenation at Sanctuary By The Sea.

MEET KATE
I’m passionate about offering opportunities for self-care because I’m looking for them myself.
I also love making art, but rarely do. When I met Elizabeth in a nature art drawing class, I was drawn to the similarities Elizabeth made between drawing and the mind and yoga and the mind.
The Day Retreat idea was born.
MEET ELIZABETH MARTIN
A love of drawing (which she believes is the foundation for all artistic processes) and a keen sense of curiosity have resulted in thematic explorations concerning the fragility of our natural world, transformation, and the interconnectedness of all things. Most recently her work is exploring the notion of 'inner landscapes' and our connection to the divine feminine.
