MeditARTE - Silence & Creativity... Meditation and art on Lanzarote

'If you were quiet, you would be helped.
Master Eckhart

Going into silence together. Find a clear, calm mind. Let go. Come to rest. Allow inner images to emerge. Coming out of silence into expression. Let colors and shapes flow. Bringing inner images to the outside.

Discover
...who you really are
...what your purpose is
...where your very own expression lies

The retreat lasts 20 hours. If it takes place at my finca, these hours are in the morning.

However, MeditARTE can also take place on La Graciosa - in combination with the 'Search for my hidden treasure'. In this case, the retreat includes 15 hours in the evening. Of course, there is then a combined offer with a corresponding discount.

As far as accommodation is concerned, I usually make sure that my clients find their own accommodation in the local area. This is simply because everyone has different requirements. Some want their own apartment, while others may just want a simple room. Both are available in the immediate vicinity. I live and work on a finca in La Vegueta, a small Canarian village in the center of the island. Just have a look at Airbnb or Booking. They will show you all the available options for your dates and you can also look at photos. I will also be happy to help you with a few tips.

Or perhaps you would like a complete package for your retreat? There are also accommodation options at my finca. You can either choose your own cottage or share a cottage. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

Meals are not included, as there are also very different needs here. You decide for yourself what is good and right for you. As a rule, you can cater for yourself in your accommodation - either you have your own kitchen or at least cooking facilities. There is a small supermarket in the village where you can buy the essentials, while a larger supermarket is in the next town. On Sundays there is a small farmers' market where local farmers sell their produce. There are also several bars and restaurants in the surrounding area.

The program is put together individually and discussed with the participants. Five days are planned, each lasting 4 hours - usually in the morning hours - but evening sessions are also planned.

The morning meditation takes up a large part of the program. The meditation is guided - so it is also suitable for beginners. We then move on to the creative process. Appropriate materials will be provided to match the content of the meditation. The content is free - we paint and create our inner images.

The entire morning is a time of silence, we leave ourselves to the meditative and artistic process. Only when all participants have completed their process do we come together for an intensive exchange about what we have experienced and created.

On request, individual lessons can be booked for further deepening.

Arrive on your own. If you would like to explore the island or go to the beach outside of the retreat program, we recommend booking a rental car. There are bus connections, but the buses don't run very often and the connection from village to village often involves changing buses. A car gives you more flexibility and you can make much better use of your free time. If you book a car in advance, it will be waiting for you at the airport and you can drive straight to your accommodation.
