Event description🌸 Blossom Women’s Mini Retreats are safe and nurturing spaces, designed for women to rest, recover, and reconnect in the company of a small, intimate group. Together, we share creative and educational workshops alongside quiet moments for reflection, exploration, and personal healing. This retreat is a gentle invitation to unwind, find clarity, and begin blossoming into your next chapter.
You’ll be guided by Samantha Jane and Taya Divnova as we move through a day of nourishment, creativity, and connection at the beautiful Black Sheep Retreat at the top of Morningside hill, overlooking the beautiful landscapes in front of us.
🌸 Samantha Jane will be your Retreat Host and Trauma-Informed Passageway Guide.
She is the Founder of Black Sheep Retreat, an interactive accommodation space created as a safe, nurturing haven for families, friends, couples, and individuals to rest, heal, and rediscover themselves after life’s valley seasons. These retreats are not just getaways — they are spaces of rejuvenation, creativity, and purpose.
Alongside her professional background of 17 years in graphic design, and over 8 years in property investment and business ownership, Sam carries the wisdom of real, raw lived experience. She has walked through the complexities of narcissistic abuse — including psychological, financial, and litigation abuse — and knows what it means to feel silenced, unseen, and overwhelmed.
Her journey through many healing modalities eventually led her to NLP therapy — a turning point that became the catalyst for her own transformation. Experiencing its impact firsthand, Sam felt called to train as a practitioner so she could guide others with the same compassion, creativity, and courage that helped her reclaim her voice, her mind and her life back.
Now, she walks alongside other women as they step out of survival mode and into possibility — gently shepherding new beginnings, one brave step at a time.
🌸 Taya Divnova will be your Creative Art Therapy Passageway Guide.
Taya blends creativity with healing, as a multi-skilled artist in Visual & Fine Arts, and a certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach.
With a Diploma in Psychology, she runs art classes & workshops for dementia and hospital patients, using art to uplift and improve wellbeing.
Taya will take us on a journey of self-discovery, using non-clinical Art Therapy techniques to inspire self-expression and emotional wellness through creativity.
SCHEDULE
🌸 We’ll begin with a hot drink and snacks, then gentle introductions led by Samantha Jane — opening space for safe sharing, conversation, and connection.
From there, we will move to the dining room for a wholesome lunch that cares for body, mind, and soul. Together, we’ll prepare a glass jar meal with ingredients of your choosing, then sit down to taste our own creations during some question and answer time.
In the afternoon, Taya Divnova will guide a therapeutic creative session, where we are all invited to explore self-expression through painting on canvas. — Each piece can be taken home as a reminder of your experience at Blossom Women’s Mini Retreats and Black Sheep Retreat.
We’ll close the day softly, with optional sharing and space to explore the interactive retreat setting in your own way.
✨ This gathering is limited to 10 women to ensure intimacy, safety, and care for everyone.
🌸 Together, Sam and Taya will stand alongside you, while we share our journeys and connect with like-minded souls. We hope to inspire you all to trust your own inner wisdom and take small steps toward your healthiest and happiest self.
We can’t wait to welcome you into this space — to meet new faces, share gentle moments, and support you in your next steps toward healing, clarity, and wholeness.
Note: We will not be taking photos during this time, as we value everyone's privacy. You are welcome to take photos of the space provided. Please be mindful of the people around us. You are most welcome to take photos of others with their permission.
