Co-Founder and Retreat Curator

Clare Turner is a passionate visual artist and creative facilitator. As the founder of Paisley Art Clare has cultivated a vibrant, inclusive art community that welcomes people of all experience levels to explore creativity in a supportive environment.

Since launching Paisley Art in 2016, Clare has led a wide range of workshops – from expressive collage and watercolour classes to community-led projects like Peterborough Royalty, which celebrated everyday heroes through alternative portraiture and storytelling. Her teaching style is warm, accessible and rooted in the belief that everyone can make meaningful art, regardless of background or skill level.

We collaborate with a rotating circle of artists, yoga teachers, musicians and movement practitioners – each chosen for their warmth, accessibility and ability to meet participants where they are. From soulful singing to expressive painting, our facilitators guide with care and creativity.

Sarah is a soulful song leader and founder of Wa Wa Women, a community singing initiative rooted in connection, wellbeing and joy. Her circles invite women to gather in harmony – no auditions, no sheet music, just voices raised together in affirmation and ease.

What to expect with Sarah:
• Gentle, inclusive singing taught by ear
• Songs that soothe, uplift and empower
• A safe space to breathe, belong and be heard
• Deep listening, laughter and lightness

Sarah’s sessions are inspired by her own journey of reclaiming voice as a tool for healing. Whether indoors or under open skies, her circles are woven with compassion, creativity and a deep respect for each woman’s story.

Rae is a movement and breathwork practitioner who offers a practice that feels like a deep exhale. Founder of MoveBreatheLiveWell.com, she invites you to explore kind movement and healthy breathing – a holistic practice rooted in self-compassion, reconnection and balance for 21st-century living.

What to expect with Rae:
• Accessible yoga for all bodies and minds, blending the ancient wisdoms of yoga and Qi Gong to support general wellbeing and mobility
• A breathwork practice rooted in science, designed to help you breathe better to reduce stress, tension and to improve mental clarity
• A calm, respectful space to reconnect with yourself

Rae’s teaching is informed by her own daily practice and ongoing studies with leading movement and breathwork educators. Whether guiding a group or offering 1:1 support, she meets each participant with warmth, curiosity and care.
