Day Retreat: Brushstrokes & Voices
Saturday 21st March 2026
TIME: 10.00am – 4.30pmpm
LOCATION: Barnack Village Hall, School Rd, Stamford
Unity Retreats invites you to Brushstrokes & Voices, a day of gentle reawakening, where creativity stirs in harmony with the first signs of spring. It’s a soft landing place for anyone seeking renewal, connection and a moment to breathe.
The morning opens with a guided vocal‑release session by Claudia, designed to free the channels of expression within the body. Through breath, resonance and playful sound exploration, you are supported to soften tension, awaken confidence and rediscover the ease of your natural voice. It’s an invitation to inhabit the body with curiosity and to let creativity flow without pressure or perfection.
After a restorative pause, Clare leads a calming, step‑by‑step painting experience. With her warm, accessible teaching style, she will support you to create your own beautiful artwork—layer by layer, brushstroke by brushstroke. The focus is on presence rather than performance, making it a nourishing space for artists of all levels – from beginner to expert.
No experience is needed in vocal work or painting, and all materials are thoughtfully provided.
We will gather for a shared community lunch, with each person contributing a dish. It becomes a moment of connection—stories exchanged, laughter shared and new friendships forming around the table.
The day closes with a gentle reflection circle and thoughtful gifts and keepsakes to carry the energy of renewal home. You will leave feeling lighter, inspired and reconnected with your own creative spark.

Soulful Sundays
Monthly Community Singing Circle
The perfect place to practise taking up space with your voice unapologetically and without judgement. Creating a safe space for you and your voice as we sing for connection, not perfection.
We will sing traditional and modern medicine songs in rounds and in harmony. These are often short and repeated allowing our thinking brain to turn off and for us to relax into our bodies, the essence of the lyrics and the sounds around you.
This soulful sing is open to men and women aged 18 upwards.
At £14 per session, you can expect at least an hour of singing and time afterwards for refreshments and connection with the group.
