"Yoga releases the creative potential Of Life" (B.K.S Iyengar)

This retreat combines yoga, meditation, creative writing, visual research and healthy eating.
Each person will be given a sketchbook on arrival to use as their creative journal for the weekend. This journal will be an essential tool during the weekend, where word and visual notes will be combined as a way to explore new ideas without being judge by the result. It will be a weekend where you can experiment and try out many new and different techniques and expressions without any pressure of a final piece. You will come away energised and filled with new ideas. No one needs to be an artist or writer to take part, only a willingness to explore and to be inspired. This weekend is an excellent way nourish both body and mind, and to start the autumn with a creative spirit. Ingrid and Liz believe that yoga & meditation is a great tool to open our minds for creative exploration. Beddinge is a very calm seaside community which was formerly a fishing village. Both Liz and Ingrid have spent all their summers since they were born in this village. For this retreat they are opening their homes in Beddingestrand and sharing them with you.  We will have certain activities in a nearby renovated Fishermans Shed - locally called Garnhuset -  and nowadays a community space.  

It is also possible to take part in the retreat if you live near by and want to sleep at home. 

Enjoy the sound from the sea, relax with yoga and meditation, be inspired by creative workshops, eat healthy home cooked vegetarian food and meet new friends.

Creativity & Yoga & Cultural retreat on the southcoast of Sweden 

7 nights. 

Dates: 6-13 June, 2020

Price: €790 incl. accommodation, food, yoga, workshops, excursions etc.

(airfare is NOT included - cheap flights with Ryan Air to Copenhagen)

Join me for a week of creative inspiration in my special paradise, the seaside village of Beddingestrand, on the South coast of Skåne, Sweden. I have spent every summer of my life in this area and it is where I recharge my batteries and get inspiration for artwork and new ideas.  We will be a small and intimate group of 8-10 people. 

During the retreat we will gather inspiration from the surroundings in the village and on excursions of the area.  In my light filled studio, or outside if the weather allows, we create patterns and motifs that we print on paper and textiles using simple printing techniques to create memories on paper and fabric to take home. I will supply you with all materials and tools that you need. Suitable for both beginners or those with an creative background. 

We will enjoy lovely meals that are prepared by a local chef.  Some days we visit local small restaurants and other days we will enjoy picnics in beautiful spots in nature. 

This is a unique opportunity to experience  the south of Sweden and the county of Skåne, from a very special perspective. Enjoy the sound from the sea, be inspired, meet new friends, share stories, try a sauna and just have time to ‘be’ yourself in nature.

LOCATION: The seaside village of Beddingestrand, 45 min from Malmö.

Your Host: Artist and Yoga intructor Liz Nilsson and visiting facilitators.
