As we are all zooming, glooming and regrooming, The Create Escape is excited to announce its new program of immersive workshops and retreats including cooking, writing and art adventures, all catering to the new normal.

As COVID cancelled The Create Escapes calendar of travel events for 2020 and beyond, Jennifer Richardson, founder and creative director of The Create Escape, has created a new advent of delicious, creative and soul filling events, to satisfy anyone’s appetite.

“Late last year, after 16 years of touring on international creative and cultural collaborations, it was time to find a local destination and space in Australia to host our events. I was already living and working remotely from the Northern Rivers but could not think of any better place to be than Brunswick Heads to call home. It’s creatively rich and diverse, it’s in the centre of a thriving food trail and it boasts exquisite natural beauty. What more could we ask for!” adds Richardson. 

The plan was to start mini getaways and one day events around the end of 2020. Then COVID19 hit! “That has been hard, I should have been in Argentina in April and Italy running events right now, so early on in this pandemic crises, we were fully occupied with cancelling, postponing and rethinking our singing, writing and art holiday events. But there has not been one day that has gone by when I wasn’t grateful to be here, and well”  

The pandemic gave the gift of time, time to rethink, time to be creative and the greatest gift of all has been time to reach out to locals to develop our ideas for collaborations and events right here in this beautiful area.”

Following are some of the live and online event’s kicking off this July and all done with people’s safety in mind;
