Sweden • July 22–26 (28), 2026

​

“If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” .

- Van Gogh

​​

Join us in the heart of Sweden this July for a transformative 5-day retreat where creativity, movement, and spiritual awakening come together in harmony. This unique experience invites you to reconnect with your true self through the power of yoga, expressive arts, and mindful exploration in nature.

 

Where breath meets brushstroke.
Where creativity becomes healing.
Where nature softens the nervous system.
Where your soul has space to breathe again.

​

This intimate retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself and awaken the authentic creative expression already living within you.

Through intuitive painting, yoga, meditation, ceremonies, embodiment practices and meaningful connection, we gather in the beauty of Swedish summer to create, rest, explore and remember the joy of being fully alive.

​

Surrounded by forests, lakes, cafés and peaceful Scandinavian nature, this retreat offers both inspiration and deep restoration for body, mind and soul.

Whether you are an experienced artist or simply longing to reconnect with your creativity, inner light and essence — you are warmly welcome.

Only 5 spaces available.

​

An intimate Retreat for Painting, Soul & Presence

​

Imagine waking up slowly to the softness of summer light.

Starting day with energising yoga, meditation, intuitive movement or dance. 

Painting freely from your heart without pressure.

Drinking tea surrounded by nature.
Swimming in clear lakes.
Walking through forests.
Sharing nourishing brunches and Swedish fika in a heartfelt company.
Breathing deeper. Laughing more. Feeling inspired again.

​

This retreat is designed as a sacred pause from the noise and busyness of everyday life to awaken the artist within.

Even if you have never touched the brush or painted, you are welcome just as you are. 

​

This is a nourishing space where you can:

• reconnect with your authentic self

• awaken creativity and inspiration

• relax your nervous system and recharge

• express yourself freely

• soften into your heart

• connect with beauty, nature and presence

• experience meaningful community and soul connection

​

Not through striving.
But through presence, creativity and openness.

​

Intuitive Painting & Authentic Self-Expression

​

Painting becomes a doorway into your inner world.

During the retreat, we will explore intuitive painting as a practice of self-expression, embodiment, creativity and connection with the soul.

 

You will be guided through:

• intuitive painting processes

• discovering your authentic creative voice

• expressing emotion and essence through art

• learning new painting techniques and creative approaches

• releasing perfectionism and self-doubt

• creating freely from intuition and feeling

​

You do not need to be an “artist” to join.

This retreat is not about technical perfection.
It is about authenticity, expression and creative freedom.

A space where your soul is allowed to speak through color, texture and movement.

​

Yoga, Meditation & Sacred Ceremonies

​

Each day includes grounding yoga, meditation and embodiment practices designed to reconnect you with your body, heart and inner light.

 

Through breath, movement and stillness, we create space for:

• nervous system restoration

• emotional openness

• creativity and inspiration

• inner peace and clarity

• deeper connection with yourself and life

​

We will also gather in sacred ceremonies and reflective practices that support presence, healing, gratitude and authentic connection.

The practices are gentle, nourishing and accessible for all levels.

​

Nature, Beauty & Swedish Summer

The retreat takes place in the peaceful beauty of Sweden during the most magical time of the year.

A gathering of creative, sensitive and open-hearted souls coming together to:

A Personal Note from Anna

​

I created this retreat because I know how deeply healing creativity, nature and presence can be.

Some of the most transformative moments of my life happened when I slowed down enough to truly listen — through art, movement, silence and connection with the soul.

​

This retreat is an invitation into that space.

A space to soften.
To breathe.
To create freely.
To reconnect with your essence and inner light.
To remember the beauty of simply being yourself.

​

I would love to welcome you into this experience. ✨

— Anna Sun
