Colors Retreat June 2023
When joy and experience are having a wedding
As much as we all would love to draw, paint, sing, and hike through the lush palatinate forest every day, we also know that it can be difficult to arrange this setting all by ourselves. We managed to arrange four entire precious days in which you can fully unwind and let yourself be carried by the free flow, as well as the clear routines of the day. The Colors Retreat is an interdisciplinary workshop cleverly disguised as a relaxing getaway. You're held by a tranquil environment and gradually transition into a structured daily routine. This allows space for deep relaxation and proactively unfolding your creativity.
The Retreat
Join a colorful journey of artistic self-development and strengthen your ways of self-expression. The Moment you are provided with a Structure that covers basic needs like healthy food, deep and quiet sleep, and a powerful morning routine, it is a natural side effect that your creativity starts blossoming.
The Routine
Most of us grew up in a society where we have been slowly conditioned to manage our day, our food, and our routines all by ourselves and often end up very isolated or burned out. The retreat provides you with all those essentials in a beautiful natural surrounding, so you don’t have to spend a second thinking about what tasks are ahead and can focus on how you actually feel inside
Reinighof - The Location
The beauty of the retreat space on the farm secluded in the surrounding Palatine Forrest is a phenomenon by itself and offers the perfect platform to transmute these internal feelings to a creative expression and experience a positive constructive output. An experience that lasts and is applicable long after the retreat.

Each one teach' one
Sometimes we label people that are good at their craft as ‘Talented’ but miss out on the long journey they went through to get to this point. The stories and insights one can share, who went through this journey are always inspiring and heart-opening. The chance to have so many of our facilitators and participants' stories woven into one threat during this retreat is a gift by itself! We're excited to share and exchange those stories and experiences in a safe and nurturing collaborative space.
