Breathe Out. If there's one thing I
love about camping, it's that feeling of slowing down, taking stock, breathing
out.
There is something magical about the great
outdoors, staring into the campfire, being away from the daily pressures,
taking in the sights and sounds of the natural environment. It's like taking one giant
long, slow exhale, nothing feels better.
Now if you add to that sleeping in a gentle
canvas bell tent fitted out with cosy bedding, all your meals prepared by
talented chefs, cooks and food lovers, a fabulous Tasmanian wine or two and
engaging workshops where you can make something wonderful, then you've got The Slow Camp: An intimate weekend gathering designed to help people connect, create and
unwind in the stunning surrounds of the east coast of Tasmania.
I've teamed up with those glamping experts
Happy Glamper, who are
setting up camp on the beautiful grounds of Devils Corner
Vineyard with a backdrop of spring-green vineyards, the jagged
granite peaks of 'The Hazards' and the tranquility of Moulting Lagoon.
While there will be plenty of time for
doing nothing, I've asked some of my super talented friends to come along and
teach some workshops and that include;
Annie Inglis from Launchpad Workshops will
teach you the ancient Japanese art of shirbori.
Missie O, florist /
forager extraordinare, who spent her childhood in the area, will share her
immense knowledge of local plants, take us foraging then show us how to make
something lovely.
Asher Gilding,
my long time campfire foraging buddy will be cooking a delicious seafood bbq
for you and teach you a thing or too about cooking on the campfire.
Hugh Flint, a chef and
food lover, who Tassie's managed to steal away from Adelaide (sorry SA!) has
moved to Cygnet and is the most delightfully warm and talented person you could
meet, will be coming along to cook and share a few tips with you as well.
Natalie Mendham will be there to
photograph everything through her talented eye.
We'll have a plenty of time for walks,
chats around the campfire, stargazing, a wine tasting or two. I did tell you we're camping in a gorgeous vineyard didn't I?
We will also have Freycinet Marine Farm with
their oysters, and few other surprises in store.
The cost includes all
meals and beverages, workshops, materials and accommodation.
The retreat runs from
4pm Friday 27 November until sometime after lunch on Sunday 29
November.
Accommodation is a shared Happy Glamper tent with super comfy bedding
and linen provided.
Tickets are very limited, click here for
details.
If you need a break and want to meet like minded people in a
stunning creative environment, then I hope you can join us for a chance to
relax, learn new skills, reconnect with nature, explore, eat delicious
food, recharge and most importantly, to breathe out.
WOW! Fantastic.
