A Creativity Retreat with Kabir Helminski

7 nights from: November 17 till November 24 (morning departure)

 

 

Awakening Expression, Beyond the Matrix. Finding our voice; working with metaphor, symbols, sensory detail; escaping our own cliches, breaking through expectations; perfecting our craft; finding the sacred in the mundane. From stream of consciousness to the classical forms of quatrains and ghazals, creativity is something authentic, individual, and mysterious. Creativity is about awakening the powers of imagination, and also about emotional honesty. What we mean by “the Matrix” is everything that keeps us stuck in a false reality — some of it socially engineered, some of it self-imposed.

A spiritually oriented creativity retreat at the beautiful Lumina Wellness Retreat located outside Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali. This event is appropriate for anyone who wishes to improve their capacity for expression, access their imagination, and increase their appreciation of spiritual arts, literature, and culture.

Approximate cost: $1800-$2400 shared rooms (depending on room choice, and all the rooms are in traditional Balinese style and beautifully furnished.) 

1. Begin by making the $1000/person deposit below. 

2. Request your preferred room and whether for one or more people.

Address your requests and intention to join us to:   fohzia5050@gmail.com 

If you don’t have a roomate in mind, no worries. We will sensitively pair you with an appropriate room-mate and since you know us and our community, we trust harmony will prevail. There might be some single rooms, but we expect to nearly fill this retreat center. If you strongly request a single room, we will have to see  in early October whether its possible.

We have a wide range of room options, from luxury private self-contained cottages ranging from (with queen/single occupancy for maximum privacy or two twin beds for sharing) to two-bedroom kitchen apartments, and even a co-ed dormitory (with his and hers bathrooms) for those on a budget. There are 16 rooms total, plus the 8-bed dormitory.
