Swiss Alps

4 days 

what is unique about this trip

We invite you for a creative and playful experience amongst the evergreen trees, rolling meadows and gorgeous white snowcapped mountains of Switzerland.

This is all about you! Being inspired and making art. Step outside of your everyday life to pause. Learn more about yourself, gain a new perspective and understand how to truly nourish yourself towards health.

 

Allow us to guide you through an art therapy inspired process, to get into a flow and express your own creativity without self-judgment or concern about the end result. Inspire others with your experiences and gain inspiration from others.

 

Who is this retreat for?

You are curious about art making, self-expression, yoga, mindfulness, and health.

 

We welcome all creative souls AND we welcome you, even if you do not believe that you are creative :-)

 

Beginners welcome!

You do not need any art or yoga experience.

 

We will support you every step of the way.

No judgement. Only curiosity for new ways to express and expreience.

"This retreat was a wonderful way to reconnect with myself and the things that really matter.”

Mary, Artful Retreat 2019

a day

Our day starts with yoga, followed by a wholesome breakfast.

 

We then gather together to make art within a cozy, warm wooden barn named “Creta. Vella”

 

At lunch, surrounded by lovely Swiss mountain views, we nourish ourselves with delicious and energizing food prepared by Chef Aurélien.

 

After our repose, we continue to playfully explore the creative process.

 

We finish the day with a group discussion about the art we made and enjoy a well-deserved comforting dinner.

 

For those who desire, can choose to end the evening with meditation and calming yoga practice to ease the body, mind, and soul towards rest.
