Our guided practices will seamlessly integrate Mindfulness Meditation and intentional Journaling to deepen the transformative experience. Let the fusion of yoga, meditation, and journaling serve as a conduit for self-love and empowerment. May this retreat be a celebration, a time to honor your achievements and an opportunity to set intentions for the beautiful paths that lie ahead of you.
ART WORKSHOPS
CLAY
Immerse yourself in the art of ceramics through a hand-building workshop, where the dance with clay becomes a metaphor for grounding oneself in the rhythms of nature and play. This workshop, designed for all skill levels, beckons you to revel in the magic of this earthy medium, allowing your hands to shape an experience rather than a rigid outcome. You'll receive a designated amount of clay to craft beautiful ceramics. Depending on the size of your creations, you'll either have one large art piece or several smaller ones. We'll handle the firing process in Vienna, and you can choose to pick up your pieces or have them securely shipped to your home.
PAINTING
Meet us beneath the trees for an abstract painting class—a seamless integration of creativity and mindfulness. Furnished with canvas, acrylic paints, and an arsenal of tools, you'll be gently guided through the meditative act of allowing paint to touch blank space intuitively. We invite you to let go of expectations and allow this to be an exploration and physical manifestation of the transformative energy moving through your being during this retreat. You'll receive a 30x40 cm canvas to paint on which you can take home right after the retreat.
Good to know: We provide all the tools and materials for both the clay and the painting workshop. You don’t have to bring anything.
Trip Schedule
During the 4-day trip, engage in Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga sessions, complemented by mindfulness meditation and journaling. Explore creative processes with sourced materials, embracing failure and letting go of expectations.
