Our Focus
Mystic Art Retreats™ are transformative events held in locations of extraordinary beauty and power that expand consciousness, ignite delight, and elevate human potential.
These retreats typically focus on creative arts and indigenous crafts as a means for encouraging our treasured clients to renew their love of life and return home with an invigorated sense of purpose. Our events are designed to be inspiring and encouraging rather than restrictive or humbling. Beauty, delight, creative expression and spiritual wisdom are key components of every retreat.
The programming includes instruction in sacred art, fine art, and traditional spiritual practices. Immersive cultural experiences, healing connection to natural environments, and visits to locations imbued with spiritual power serve to give these teachings context and ensure our clients remain grounded. We are committed to fostering respectful and mutually-beneficial connection to the cultures we visit.
The combination of intellectual stimulation, physical exertion, creative expression, and spiritual ceremony results in unforgettable moments of spiritual expansion. We believe that our retreats work best when we inspire in our participants a sense of wonder, awe, and delight in being exactly where they are in the present moment.
Transformation and spiritual growth happen naturally when we are encouraged to relax in sacred places; it is more powerful when mind, body, and spirit are marshalled together for the purpose of lasting benefit to oneself and our global community.
Our globally-renowned experts from different sacred traditions host events at extraordinary venues that range from breathtaking palaces, venerable institutions, quaint rural stays, and natural stone homes. Old restrictive patterns of self-limitation are gently coaxed to unlock through skillful exposure to sensory delight, often through appreciation of traditional arts, visits to locations of glorious beauty, and exploring delicious local cuisine.
Each one of our events are unique; composed to suit our discerning clients, exceptional hosts, and spectacular locations.
The repertoire of programmes includes a focus on the arts as shown below
Satyam
(Truth)
The subject is divine, or invokes cosmic unity, or expands awareness, the activity is intentional, creative, and ritualised
Shivam
(Divinity/Expansive Self)
The artist is disciplined in the sense of being completely present and self-aware during the activity
Sundaram
(Beauty)
The practice is regularly refined until it becomes impeccable, elegant, and ultimately natural
Why Sacred Art?
The closed bud of a flower represents the future
A warm pink was used to depict a mild Shakti and Rajas guna
Golden yellow is shown to aid learning and is also the colour of the aura of enlightened humans
White is the colour of goddess Saraswati and of sattva guna
The budding flower represents the present
And the fully opened flower represents the past
This is why the blossom in our logo is not fully opened
The Mystic Art Retreat franchise enjoys the patronage of people committed to bettering their lives through creative experiences that nourish the mind, body and spirit
