As You Like It Retreats: Where Heritage, Nature & Creativity Transform Wellbeing

What happens when we treat historic places not just as museums, but as living spaces that stimulate creativity and wellbeing? In this special episode of The Waterfall, Kaberi and Obhi Chatterjee share how Rabindranath Tagore and Leonard Elmhirst’s 1920s rural reconstruction experiments inspired them to develop creative wellbeing retreats in rural arts communities.They’re joined by Rachael North, CEO of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and artist/tutor Lizzie Bentley, who - together with Brook Arts Hub - are bringing this vision to life through the inaugural As You Like It Creative Wellbeing Retreat: A Plein Air Painting Weekend at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage in Stratford‑upon‑Avon (2–3 May 2026). Along the way, they explore how Shakespeare’s works, nature and heritage can support modern wellbeing, and what participants can expect from the two‑day plein air painting weekend.Download the full retreat brochure to learn more:https://obhi.innereye.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Brochure-Plein-Air-Painting-Weekend-2-3-May-2026.pdfRegister for the inaugural retreat:https://www.brookartshub.com/event-details/plein-air-painting-retreat-weekend-at-anne-hathaways-cottageJoin The Waterfall Community and share your reflections about creative wellbeing:https://discord.gg/n4ah9aBSM3
