Cet atelier s’adresse aux personnes qui souhaitent lâcher le mental pour passer à l’action, qui veulent renouer avec une façon de créer et d’être plus calme et plus ample.
Aucune expérience n’est requise, seulement de la curiosité, de l’ouverture et l’envie de se détendre.



This is your time to return. To your senses, your creativity, your calm. Nothing to prove, nowhere to rush. Just space to breathe, to create, to remember what feels real.








Hello! We, Marina Derijke and Moyra Poot, form the creative and organisational heart of Terra Nova Retreats. We know how noisy and demanding these times can be. Through more than 25 years of experience hosting creative workshops and retreats, we know how creativity and slow living lead to balance. We’ve designed these retreats especially to share that with you, and to help you find your own flow again.

Marina Derijke – Art Instructor
Marina Derijke is an artist and art instructor, experienced in painting, ceramics, and sculpture in stone, bronze, clay, and wax. She is trained at institutions in the Netherlands, including the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Hermitage, and Vrije Academie. At our retreats, Marina invites participants into a state of playful curiosity, showing that creativity is less about perfection and more about presence.
There is no doubt that her sessions will help you to slow down, reconnect with your senses, and experience art as a form of self-care and gentle renewal, whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced artist.
Moyra Poot – Event Manager
Moyra Poot is our main Host, a creative entrepreneur and event manager with over five years of experience in arts, culture, marketing, and creative direction.
She is passionate about designing meaningful and soft experiences that bring people closer to themselves.

Let silence, sunlight and creativity reset your flow. Step into calm.
