An Enchanted End-of-Year Retreat to Calm, Nourish, Create, and Uncover New Ways to Support Yourself.
At the end of this year, come create, dream, and recharge with contemplative practices such as Miksang photography, writing, and creativity.
During this retreat, we will explore and nurture inner confidence, discovering treasures of resources and more supportive approaches for ourselves.
Additionally, cultivate a kind gaze towards yourself to make choices that support your new year.

Who is This Retreat For?

For this retreat, no prior experience in photography, writing, or meditation is required.
It is open to anyone who wants to experience a moment of warmth and gentleness.
Even the camera on your phone is sufficient for the contemplative photography practice of Miksang.
It is also suitable for photographers of all levels.

Miksang Contemplative Photography
Helps us open up to the beauty, poetry, and wonder that the universe offers.
The starting point of this practice is first our gaze—light, color, shapes, and space.
The practice of contemplative photography Miksang is for those who wish to connect photography with meditation.

Contemplative Writing
And a creative renewal journal is a path of discovery and listening to align with your heart and all your senses.
No need to feel confident with writing—it is, above all, a journey toward oneself.
Connecting writing with colors and collage brings together the body, our sensations, emotions, and inner child, guiding us through explorations that are both joyful and profound.

In other words, this winter, come back home—to your true self.
