the idea...
The idea of an art and soul retreat is one which has been lingering in our minds for quite some time. There’s a multitude of art-, craft- and relaxation courses and/or treatments available to the public these days, but few take into account the stresses, responsibilities and capacities of a very diverse population.
Most packages cater only for learners of a certain age-group, those with flexible schedules and few/no family responsibilities. With the focus on “aptitude per assembly”, quality is oftentimes neglected in that too many comparisons are made between the concepts and creations of the different learners and are therefore categorised.
We wish to provide all persons with an environment where they can learn and explore their own artistic accents and produce something of substance which will not be stashed away at the very first hints of spring-cleaning. We wish to confirm and facilitate the authenticity and quality of each individual craft and the hand that formed it. We wish to indulge and nourish the privacy of your own body with treatments which are suitable and comfortable to your character. We wish to stimulate an awakening of inimitable mental and physical awareness inherent of each individual.
And we wish to do all of this on the backdrop of a milieu jam-packed with sensory ambience and… undeniably delicious verve!
