A note from your fascilitator
“I have always thought & believed art should be offered and accessible to everyone, its not about grades, technique. it's about self expression. Visual art is extremely therapeutic, euphoric and joyful. I have been experimenting with the concept of Mandalas and how process art offers something that is not too scary; it feels more free and safe. As soon as a feeling of trust takes over, people respond with powerful unique creations. Their minds unfold rapidly, reflecting and shedding the chatter along with their personality and current emotional state …Someone once said that The mind is a good servant but a bad master; Humans are so tied up in our minds we tend to lose our senses. By collaborating with art and nature, we gift our senses the time and space to listen."
"Essentially - the point can’t be explained in words because art is not words - but after a while you will understand the point
and that point will be the art itself."

Today I began the process of creating my very own mandala!
So meditative! And I noticed when I just let go, everything flowed...
Just trusting in the unfolding process,
and then stepping back and seeing before my eyes how my deeper knowing
was guiding me the whole time... It was really my job to just sit into trusting,
and from this deeper resonance, being guided from deeply within.

"I attended Stephanie’s Bali Retreat In September 2019 and I am attending again in April 2023.
The retreat was 7 days and nights of pure bliss.
To be able to learn and practice sacred geometry under Stephanie’s guidance
in such a beautiful and peaceful space is an experience I will always cherish.
The location is spectacular, the food was great and it is pure privilege
to be able to spend time doing what you love with like minded individuals.
If you are looking to gift yourself an memorable experience then you should definitely
be considering attending a retreat with Stephanie in Bali. "
