More-than-Human; More-than-Drawing

19th - 22nd MARCH 2026 / 4 DAY WORKSHOP

This workshop explores drawing as tool of communication, with a particular focus on drawing as a way of listening to, and responding to, the more-than-human world. We'll explore natural mediums and surfaces, while working between the outdoors and the studio. This is a playful, exploratory workshop offering new ways to think about both drawing and our environment.

HEART of STONE

19th - 23rd JUNE 2026 / 5 DAY WORKSHOP

A midwinter workshop infused with the slow pace of planetary time. This workshop invites us to play with the varied places stones hold in our imagination, and to consider stones as time keepers and storytellers. We'll make site visits to tamed stones and wild stones. We'll explore the alchemical transformation of stones into art materials and you'll take home your own pigments. A hands-on, grounding, and meditative workshop.

To See a Flower @ Bodi Khaya

3rd - 6th SEPTEMBER / 3 DAY WORKSHOP

“Nobody sees a flower – really – it is so small – we haven't time – and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.” Georgia O'Keefe

This workshop explores drawing as an exercise in empathy, with the setting of the old-growth milkwood forests to remind us to ‘take time’.

Bodhi Khaya is a wonderful retreat space in the Overberg, where you'll also have the opportunity to participate in yoga, meditation, walks and trails, or a treatment. All meals are provided by the famously delicious Bodhi Khaya kitchen. You'll have everything you need to really lean into an attentive, connected, and nourishing space.

“The retreat did more to centre and ground me than I ever expected or imagined. You created a safe, harmonious and inviting space that allowed us to play. Every detail of your programme was well thought out and executed with perfection. The theme carried itself across the few days from the dinner menu, the night sky, our outdoor field trips and even the studio chats.”
