The Rainmaker: Art, Animism & Restorative Practice
The Black Mountains of Wales, UK
with Colin Campbell, Hanien Conradie (online) & Rachel Fleming
This is a retreat for artists of all kinds, for those who wish to make beauty on the earth – with no experience required. We will be exploring art-making as a way of restoring and creating beauty in order to call for harmony and healing. It will take place within an overall container of ritual and ceremony that will help us make ourselves more permeable to the place and the forces and flows that run through it.
During our time together we will be working alone and together to create art, within an overall container of ritual and ceremony.
This is a deep exploration and place-based retreat for art and beauty making for all artists, regardless of your chosen medium or your level of experience. It is for those who wish to deepen into a conversation with the unseen forces of nature and creativity, and explore how those are expressed through making beauty, with the overall intention of restoration and healing.
