Play and Creative Arts Therapy Retreat 2027
✳︎
The Location
Loch Lomond
Tucked into the lochside village of Balmaha, right on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, The Oak Tree Inn offers a warm welcome to this corner of Scotland. Beyond the shoreline, the hills of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park roll away into the distance, heather-covered, mist-wrapped, endlessly changing and forever stunning.
About
Imagine five days of joy, laughter, and creative renewal on the beautiful shores of Loch Lomond.
Join fellow play and creative arts therapists for five days of joyful, hands-on workshops, collaborative community, and space to reconnect with the parts of yourself that first drew you to this work.
As a play and creative arts therapist, you spend your days holding space for your clients. You know the power of play and creativity intimately because it forms the basis of your work.
This retreat isn’t about adding another skill to your toolkit or another modality to your offer. It’s about remembering what it feels like to play - free, messy, joyful and collaborative, so that you can return to your work and life with your own cup full (to bursting!).
If you’re craving connection with people who understand the complex, beautiful work we do, come along and join the fun.
Accommodation

Local Area
Loch Lomond has a way of slowing people down. Wooded islands rise from the water like something out of a folk tale. For five days, this will be your backdrop. Believe me, it’s simply stunning.
