Reclaim your creativity by embodying your spirit and accessing your creative processes in the Re:Creation- Treat this summer in Maastricht! In this 3-day retreat we will explore, discover, connect and create by moving into our bodies and igniting our creative spark  by exploring different creative disciplines. In a shared group process you will reconnect to the home within yourself and blow new life into your creative spark.

 

Through yoga, dance, meditation, poetry, theatre, songwriting, cooking and music we will tune into our inner creativity, playfulness and spirituality. We will guide you discovering your way to let creative and spiritual processes enrich your life and learn how you can give artistic shape and creation to what moves you.

 

Mornings will focus on working with body, movement and breath and the afternoons are times of creation, each time focused in a different discipline or combinations (e.g. poetry/ music/ theatre/cooking)
