Workshops, connection and growth
Discover your identity through creativity
GINI’s Embrace Your Identity retreats provide a supportive and inspiring space to explore who you are through creativity, connection and shared experiences. Rooted in the power of self-expression and community, these retreats invite participants to reflect on their identity while connecting deeply with others.
Each retreat features inspiring talks, cultural storytelling and hands-on workshops like painting or cooking that encourage creativity as a means of self-discovery. Through shared meals, group conversations and meaningful activities, participants build connections that celebrate diversity, belonging and personal growth.
We create these retreats as safe, inclusive spaces for biculturals, the queer community and allies to honour their stories and individual journeys. By combining personal reflection with creative expression, every experience empowers participants to embrace their identity and discover new perspectives.
Whether you’re painting your thoughts onto a canvas, journaling in a quiet moment of stillness or sharing cultural traditions over a meal, GINI retreats encourage you to explore yourself authentically. These experiences are designed to inspire confidence, connection and curiosity, leaving you with renewed purpose and meaningful memories.
Step into a supportive environment that celebrates creativity, diversity and personal exploration – a retreat that brings you closer to yourself and others.

Rooting: Reconnect with yourself in nature
GINI’s Embrace Your Identity retreats are about returning to what grounds you – reconnecting with nature, yourself and others. Set in peaceful natural surroundings like forests and open landscapes, these retreats invite you to slow down, breathe deeply and root yourself in the simplicity of being present.
Nature provides the perfect backdrop for reflection, growth and clarity. Whether walking among the trees, journaling under an open sky or sitting quietly with your thoughts, the natural world encourages you to pause and rediscover who you are. GINI retreats balance moments of solitude with meaningful group experiences that honour identity and connection.
In addition to time spent in nature, the retreats include creative and cultural activities such as storytelling circles, painting workshops and shared meals. This combination allows participants to recharge physically, mentally and emotionally while forming connections with others in a calm, supportive environment.
Rooting yourself in nature fosters a deeper understanding of identity and belonging. Away from the noise of daily life, you’ll have time to reflect, gain clarity and reconnect with what matters most.
At GINI, we believe that grounding ourselves in the natural world helps us grow stronger within. Join us to find calm, celebrate your journey and leave with a renewed sense of balance, purpose and connection.
