The activities

 Language of imagination

In the weeks preceding the workshop you are invited to think about a theme you would like to work on. This theme is preferably an emotion, like for instance happiness, sadness, longing or gladness. In the workshop we will work with and on the associations you have with this theme. Every day we will work on one of the creative aspects: form, colour, space, light and composition. Participants will be given an introduction and then, guided by Willemien, start working on their theme. We will work with charcoal on paper. You are of course allowed to bring your own drawing and painting materials.

Yoga

Yoga can be used as a technique to become aware of the bond between body and mind. You can do so by training some particular groups of muscle. Everyone will experience yoga in his or her own way, but there are a few things that go for everybody. Yoga is about bringing harmony to your body. If participants have doubts whether yoga is right for them they should consult their physician. Willemien teaches Hatha-yoga, which is the more physical form of yoga.

Ayurveda

Ayurveda means “knowledge of life”. Like yoga the system comes from India and is more than 2000 years old. There is a relation between yoga and ayurveda. Cooking according to ayurveda is aimed at reaching harmony within one’s self. All courses will be prepared together. The meal consists of 3 courses: entrée, main course and desert. Season permitting, ingredients will come from our garden. The meal will be concluded with a cup of chai, ayurvedic tea in which pepper, green cardamom and ginger is used.  The meal will be vegetarian.
