INDIA known for its rich spiritual traditions,
exquisite art and savory foods will delight your
body, mind, and spirit. Imagine yourself on the
famous Ganges River in Rishikesh for the powerful
and uplifting spiritual Aarti Ceremony where little
small lamps with a candle and flowers float down
the river. In Kathryn’s workshops, you’ll learn about
the chakras, recognize how these energy centers are
impacting your health, and create chakra inspired
art. We’ll participate in the spring festival, Holi also
known as the “festival of colors.” Additional workshops include creating
mandala designs with rice and flowers, exploring the art of mehndi, daily
meditations and laughing yoga, touring the spiritual cities of Haridawar
and Rishikesh, and visiting a variety of religious centers to explore the
unique cultures, religious rituals, and ashram life.
BALI offers the perfect destination to nourish
the body and mind as you awaken your
creative spirit. Throughout this heart opening
experience, you’ll nurture your body with Bali’s
famous spa treats, connect to your soul’s wisdom
in daily guided meditations, and learn about
Tri Hita Karana, Bali’s philosophy for living a
harmonious life. Workshops include learning
how to make an offering basket and the ritual
practice for it, visiting the sacred Monkey Forest,
and creating your own batik fabric with master
artisans. Kathryn’s workshops will guide you in
integrating the beauty, sacredness, and creativity
of these experiences with expressive art projects.
