About You
Do you lead a stressfull lifestyle?
Would you like to be more present in the moment and become more mindful?
Join the group in a playful setting where we sketch, paint and sculpt after morning yoga. Let your creativity flow which is so present in each of us and re-discover your "inner child".
You don’t have to be “good at art”, and you won’t learn how to draw or paint. Every retreat shows that there’s an artist in each of us. Simply allow the artist in you to experiment, discover and express freely.
Art in the form of theatre and music were prescribed together with sports, diet and herbs as part of a toolbox of medical remedies and interventions in ancient Greece. Fast forward couple of thousand years and the belief stays firm with Canada and UK medical doctors starting prescribing free visits to museums as a way to help people suffering from post trauma, anxiety, stress, and other mental health issues.
In Artful Retreats we passionately use art therapy to help our participants express and deal with stresses of everyday life, explore thoughts and difficult emotions which unexpressed could lead to trauma. In these retreats we look at art therapy not only as a powerful healing approach but also as a preventive therapy helping wellbeing, self discovery and personal growth. Time and time again we, as art therapists, observe how mindful creativity makes people connect with what truly matters in life.
Our retreats are unique in wellness travel and with every group we meet new fans of our approach. Friends for life who find positive change through these little escapes.
