Breathe, Stretch, Paint, Flow: A Yoga & Watercolor Weekend Retreat

Saturday & Sunday, October 20 & 21
10:30 AM – 3:30 PM

Treat yourself to personal time and discover more intuitive ways of making art through stretching your creative and actual muscles. This unique team-taught retreat combines the art of yoga with watercolor painting and perception exercises for a fresh take on the creative process. The yoga practices will be accessible and easily modified for those with limited mobility or who may be new to yoga. At the same time, the creative incorporation of painting allows more seasoned yogis a special opportunity to practice from a new perspective. Experienced painters will find new ways to access their creative energy, while beginners will enjoy an enlightening introduction to watercolor. The unique cross-pollination process will blend words, images, music, painting, and the physicality of yoga as tools to dismantle barriers to creativity, with special emphasis on direct perception, intuition, visualization, and meditative concentration.
