About The Event

Exploring Divine Feminine Through Art

Price R5800

Through creative play, art and spiritual practices, our facilitators will guide you through a journey of self discovery and help you to unearth the parts of you that get lost in a today’s fast paced world.

ABOUT THE RETREAT :

This Retreat, to celebrate the Divine Feminine and the energy of the Goddess within, has been created with great joy and love by your facilitators Yvonne and Taryn with guest speaker Andrea Desmond - Smith

This Retreat is designed to bring the essence of your Divine Feminine forward, and express yourself through art, quieten  your mind and put your inner chatter into the background.

A combination of spiritual practices of meditation, sound bowl healing and creative self-expression through art allows you to bring out what is experienced in your inner-journey into the outer or physical world for you to observe and reflect on.

When we mindfully connect with Nature, relax and allow our inner child to come out and play, we heal at a very deep level.

MORE ABOUT ARTEMIS ESTATE:

Artemis is the ancient Greek goddess of the moon and untamed places. She is the guardian of every living creatures’ imagination and untamed inclinations.

Artemis is the name given to this piece of beauty in the Franschhoek valley. It is a free flowing playground, created by two artists, Andrea Desmond-Smith and her late husband Kobus Stander.

It is a a place where ones’ soul is deeply touched by nature. - with so many nooks, crannies and art instalation around every corner one can’t help but be creatively inspired.

It is a place that invites you to come to stillness, to enjoy the views, the peace and tranquility. Walk the labyrinth. Stroll through the water gardens with the Lotus flower ponds and return to who you really are.
