Pottery & Art Retreat
A gentle 3-day escape where clay, colors, nature, and stillness come together.
Program Overview
What to Expect
Purpose:
The purpose of this retreat is simple:
To help you slow down enough to feel,
create without overthinking,
and rest without needing to “do more.”
Through clay, color, movement, and stillness, the retreat gently shifts the mind from constant activity into flow, focus, and embodied calm.
Whether you’re creatively blocked, emotionally tired, or simply craving spacious time away from screens and schedules, this retreat offers a grounded, welcoming container to return to yourself.
Focus Areas:
Creative Flow Without Pressure: Pottery and art as a process, not a performance.
Touching materials, exploring form, and allowing mistakes to become part of the expression.Grounding & Nervous System Reset: Clay work, slow movement, sound healing, and nature walks support deep regulation and presence.
Mindful Rest & Gentle Structure: Enough guidance to feel supported, enough freedom to feel spacious.
Nature as a Silent Teacher: Forest edges, gardens, light, and open skies offering effortless calm and perspective.
Community Without Obligation: Shared studio spaces and meals—connection without forced interaction.
Personalized Approach:
While the retreat has a gentle flow, your experience is never rigid. You’re encouraged to:
- Work at your own pace
- Choose how deeply you engage each session
- Switch between pottery, painting, sketching, or quiet time
- Rest when you need rest
- Create when inspiration arrives
Aavya holds the structure, you choose how you move within it.
Holistic Healing Methods:
- Guided Pottery Sessions – wheel work, hand-building, shaping, surface detailing
- Creative Art Sessions – painting, mixed media, sketching, or sculpting
- Gentle Yoga & Movement – breath-led, restorative, grounding
- Yoga Nidra – deep rest and nervous system reset
- Sound Healing with Ramana – evening integration through vibration
