We begin the day with a gentle opening meditation and introduction circle to arrive, ground, and connect as a group. Sharing ceremonial Cacao to help you arrive soften and settle into the space with an open heart. From there, we move into a collaborative mixed media art experience. Together, we will co-create a large-scale floral artwork on a long sheet of paper covering the table. With paint, markers, pencils, and inks, this becomes a playful, intuitive, shared creative process. Light snacks will be available as we create, keeping the space relaxed and informal. We then pause to share a nourishing plant based meal, designed to replenish your body and support your overall wellbeing, gathered around the same creative space, with the artwork still present as part of the environment. The afternoon then softens into stillness as you are guided into a deeply restorative sound bath, supporting your nervous system to settle and integrate the day. It is a deeply immersive sound experience using instruments such as crystal bowls and chimes to guide the body into a meditative state. The vibrations work on a subtle level to soothe the nervous system, support emotional release, and promote a sense of inner harmony and stillness. We close with a gentle sharing circle and closing meditation. What to bring Yoga mat (for sound bath), blanket, cushion, water bottle, wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting paint on. 🌿 About your facilitators Adelien de Wet Adelien is an intuitive artist and space holder dedicated to guiding women into creative expression, inner truth, and nervous system awareness.
