Sacred River Arts Immersion – Anahata Education Center

August 1-8, 2021

Join us for all or part of this week-long immersion on the Anahata Riverfront celebrating collaboration, creativity, and beauty.

Join us in welcoming an array of Artists in Residence leading a variety of creative experiences. Each day we begin with a guided yoga class and a creativity circle with time for journaling and connecting.

We continue with a morning workshop lead by an Artist in Residence and then a delicious lunch. In the afternoon, we can continue our learning adventure with a variety of choices — including assisting an artist in their onsite project such as mural making, community macramé, tile mosaic and more. The afternoons are also open time for hiking, swimming, kayaking, open studio with a variety of materials, various ‘pop-up playshops’, or receiving a wellness session from one of our spa practitioners.

Each afternoon before dinner we have a time to come together for a reflection circle and after dinner there is a bonfire with singing and music making, flow arts (poi, or ‘fire-spinning’), drumming, ecstatic dance, and more.

We are sharing 3 delicious organic, mainly plant-based meals together outside of the River Kitchen. Much of the produce will come from Anahata’s gardens!

Camping included – bring your own tent – or indoor accommodations for an extra fee.
