a creative weekend escape just over an hour from Sydney.
art, cooking, plants, dance, storytelling and music and more
Taking time away from busy responsibility has become an act of guilt. Here at Rumpus, we see it as an act of political resistance. The culture of busyness doesn't serve us, our community or our world. We need to find play and connection and bring it back into our lives. Jamboree Creative Escape is an immersive kickstart of creative play, of forest and nature, of connecting with people, of reflecting on learning, skill building and practicing crafts that make us feel good.
