Summary

The ArtNight Retreat is a creative time-out that combines art, mindfulness and nature. Amidst the calming atmosphere of the forest studio, you will immerse yourself in intuitive painting processes that will take you from thinking to feeling. Every brushstroke becomes a moment of mindfulness and self-expression.
You can expect inspiring creative sessions, mindful activities and plenty of space to be in nature and feel what wants to express itself within you. The retreat gives you creative freedom and at the same time the peace you need to reconnect with your inner voice.

Your retreat experience in the forest

Space for your own impulses and expression
