ReadHide full description

Marchmont, Edinburgh

A Workshop retreat with Jane Cormack (Rhythm In Colour) and Marielle van Dop.

It’s time to book ahead before the 1st of July to receive the early booking discount!


The lost ‘Feminine Art of Listening’ is gradually re-emerging in the world and it’s time for you to learn HOW to listen and to listen more deeply.

Nature and Creativity are complimentary gifts and tools that we can use to access and open our hearts. This is no small feat and vital to the evolution of humanity! By accepting and expressing our deepest feminine qualities, we learn to listen to our feminine bodies, intuition and to access the deeply integrated wisdom that is contained within. A major aspect of this retreat is about connecting with and experiencing the purity, energy and intelligence of nature. This can radically change our vitality, perception, energy, hearts and minds. We experience what it feels like to truly listen to ourselves. We witness how this transformation affects our energy to create and express ourselves through the arts; in joy with music, dance, paint and more.

Join us for this magical, joyful
and transformational experience!

About Marielle & Jane

Marielle and Jane first met in 2010 at an Accelerated Awakening retreat in England. In this retreat they learnt about Heart Intelligence and creating an amplified field within a heart circle. Jane and Marielle have since continued their experience and study of heart intelligence through further retreats and online courses. They offered their first collaborative workshop ‘Flowing with Nature’ together in The Netherlands in 2011. It was such a joyful and successful experience that they couldn’t wait to create and offer a more in-depth experience in 2012! Marielle and Jane’s complimentary skills and personalities make for a deep, nurturing and juicy experience!


Jane Cormack (from Scotland) has been facilitating creative workshops for women for over two years in Scotland, Hawaii and The Netherlands. She began her company ‘Rhythm In Colour’ – Cultivating Courage in Women to Shine through Creativity in late 2009. Jane works with the expressive arts of music, voice, sound, movement, dance, colour, painting, writing, poetry and intuitive nature connection to support women in expressing spontaneously more of who they are, to shine and to experience JOY. Jane is also a writer, painter, poet and designer.


Marielle van Dop(from The Netherlands) has been facilitating nature-awareness workshops for over 10 years. And for even longer she has been a dedicated intuitive coach. Her main-drive is helping women who feel stuck or lost in their lives to reconnect to their own inner nature and power, so that they can face anything in life with as much joy as possible. Her deep connection with the earth sustains her in all the aspects of her work. That includes working with energy-readings and healing for both humans and animals, feminine presence work, body-movements, heart-intelligence, earth-circles, and phyto-therapy. Marielle is also a professional nature-photographer. She is currently writing a book about ‘Earthwoman’. To find more about Marielle, read www.mariellevandop.nl (in dutch).
