Retreats at Daku Resort

Daku Resort is not only one of Savusavu's best situated resorts, it also runs a fascinating programme of retreats - yoga, painting, writing, singing. Each one is a course wrapped up in a holiday, tutored by leading teachers in their fields.

At the end of March, Richard and Diana Moore will be teaching a course in Learn to Draw - No Natural Talent Needed - something they've been very successful in showing over 2,000 students how to do. Patti Miller teaches Memoir Writing in early May, and Rachel Hore will be returning yet again for a week of singing later in May. Its a fabulous week of learning and fun.

You can find full details of all the courses at www.paradisecourses.com
