Summary
Relax. Nurture. Receive. Create
The Creative Soul Retreat is your opportunity to begin a new journey with creative arts practice.
Imagine spending 5 days fully immersed in your creative practice without any disruptions. This is your chance to give your care and your love to your practice, welcoming your ideas to come to life and manifest your hearts desires.
Over the 5 days I will guide you through wellness practices and rituals that will help you to nurture and inspire your creativity, your inner artist and your arts practice.

Wallow in your own private plunge pool, collapse on one of your private terraces or enjoy a snooze in the privacy of a traditional Berber tent at the end of your private garden.
My intention is to create a safe and supportive container for you and your arts practice to receive a beautifully enriching experience that will make a lasting impact on your health, wellbeing and creative practice.
Be the change that you wish to see.. transform your mind, body and energy.

The Creative Soul Retreat offers you the space and time to focus on and develop your creative arts practice. No matter your age or what stage you are at on your journey, this will be a beautiful opportunity to explore and nourish your ideas, dreams and ambitions.
Perhaps your dream is to write a book, record an album, draw, paint or choreograph a dance performance. You may already have a clear idea or facing some blocks that are preventing you from figuring it out. This retreat is an opportunity for you to explore your authentic self in all of its weird and wonderful ways. By releasing your inner critic and setting yourself free to practice, make mistakes, revisit and start over, you will be able to build a strong foundation from which your ideas can flow and take flight.
Each day I will guide you to explore some themes within your discipline which may stir up challenges or inspire you to take action.
The wellness practices offered in the mornings and afternoons are opportunities to clear your mind and create space for inspiration to flow effortlessly.
The spacious and quiet surroundings of the villa welcomes you to explore at your will so that you wont be disturbed.
This retreat has been lovingly created for people who are passionate about developing their arts practice with the intention of making a positive impact for themselves and the planet!

Your Retreat Host
Veronica Youdell
I am delighted to welcome you to join me at Fawakay Villas. It is a very nourishing space and will be the perfect backdrop for this creative soul retreat to take place.
Before I became a yoga teacher in 2016 I facilitated rap and lyric writing workshops in schools and youth clubs. My background is in performance and creative writing. I love writing lyrics and creating authentic material. In 2020 I created Rap Yoga which became a popular fitness class with both adults and young people. I have experience producing music and even edited a music video for one of my releases. I was born to create using my musical gifts in new and imaginative ways.
This retreat offering is extremely close to my heart. It came through to me as a vision whilst I was swimming and I couldn't wait to bring it to life. Wellness has played a huge therapeutic role in my journey alongside music. For me the two industries go hand in hand. Being in my body brings me inspiration and the inspiration brings me back to my body because it feels so good in my nervous system.
As your guide and fellow creative I will be honoured to share and support you in this space. I will teach you yoga (maybe some rap yoga) share sound healing, breathwork, meditation and daily prompts to bring even more of your artistic self to life. It doesn't matter what stage of your practice you are at. You might be at the start of your journey and just curious to dip you toe in. I want to open up a space where like minded people have the opportunity to slow down and focus on their creativity in a beautiful sanctuary.

Testimonials
Laura. A
I had the fortune and privilege of spending five days at Veronica’s divine feminine retreat in Spain this year, and it truly was a life changing few days.
I left the retreat feeling like a brand new woman, lighter, radiant and grateful. Truly wonderful!
Steven. H
As a first time experiencing a yoga retreat and yoga as a whole, I was very well looked after throughout the experience. Veronica was extremely patient with me and helping me understand the process behind all aspects of the retreat.
If you ever get the opportunity to experience one of Veronica's getaways I would highly recommend.
Gemma. H
For someone like me who has never done yoga or a retreat and was out of my comfort zone Veronica was helpful and understanding throughout and made me feel at ease at every turn.
