Therapeutic Arts

with Artistic Therapist and Artist Anniek Verholt

Are you looking for a meaningful time away - to recharge and refocus? Do you recognise the need for some serious me-time? Are you interested in using the language of visual art to connect with yourself and your creative energy? If yes, this retreat could be for you.

Our therapeutic arts programme is designed to give each participant individual guidance, respecting their individual journey and current personal needs in life.

The stunning location - as well as the nurturing organic meals, ayurvedic spa, daily yoga and meditation programme participants can make use of - are all ingredients that support an optimised sense of wellbeing - health and clarity of mind.

Therapeutic Arts - Optimising the mind, nurturing the soul

The daily creative workshops are gentle and non-judgmental offering space for each individual to find their unique creative language, identifying and letting go of emotional blockages and setting clear intentions for personal growth. The optional one to one sessions with Anniek will help gain self awareness and further clarify your path of self development. The professionally guided creative sessions last 2.5 hours each day leaving you enough time to reflect, explore the island and relax.

Experience in art is not required, beginners are very welcome! The emphasis is on the creative process and not on the achievement of a master piece which for many means they can let go of self-criticism and instead fully connect with the flow of creativity.

A 5 resort in the rainforest

This beautiful journey takes you to Central Bali, Indonesia, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. You will be staying at the Bagus Jati resort in the mountains in one of their exclusive villa's enjoying a daily 3 hour therapeutic arts session, yoga, meditation (both optional but recommended) spa facilities, massage (1 complimentary), a swim in their spring water pool and delicious organic breakfast and dinner with fresh foods from their own land.
