A 6-day immersive retreat where clay becomes a mirror—and you begin to see yourself in ways words never allowed.

We pass mirrors every day — quick glances, familiar outlines, a surface we think we know.
But beneath that surface lies something quieter.
Unseen. Unshaped. Unexpressed.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down…
to observe…
to feel…
and to shape what you discover — with your own hands.
This is a guided journey into the self — using clay as the medium.
Learn the fundamentals of sculpting and create your own self-portrait in clay.
Explore identity, emotion, and perception through guided reflection and creative inquiry.
Stay by a flowing river, surrounded by mountains, in a space designed for stillness.
