Artful Zen

Weekend Retreat

Retune with Mindful Drawing

Gently guided by Karine, connect with your experience as it arises in the moment through simple yet powerful drawing practices. Whether you are an artist or have never drawn before, tune into your breath and your senses with a creative process that fosters a deep sense of connection with yourself. Using materials like graphite, charcoal, oil pastels or ink, experience the joy and freedom of creative expression and learn to see, hear and feel in an entirely new way.

"Joyful, calm, serene, caring and enriching. If I lived nearby, I would have asked to organise weekly sessions to recharge my batteries, and to help me be more in the present moment, to give me the keys to find my own resources. It was the first time I did mindfulness with art, and it was a beautiful discovery. When I got home, I started to implement some key activities taught by Karine. It even made me want to draw and explore mindfulness with a pencil in my hand!"   Lea

" I had come with anxiety about art, but left with desire to try more art. I was very relaxed by the end of the session"

Restore with

Yin Yoga & Sound Bath

Led by Roisin, restore yourself with Yin Yoga, a slow-paced style of yoga using principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with asanas that are held for longer periods of time. With these specially designed postures, rest and relax your organs, calm your body and mind, and nourish the channels of the subtle body known as meridians in Chinese medicine and nadis in Hatha yoga.

Culminate your journey with a transformative sound bath, guided by Roisin, our certified sound therapist.
