escape to transformation

"I believe in art as a force of transformation. My retreats are not an escape; they are an invitation. A tender, radical space where you are called to act. I craft a brave space for you to reclaim your agency, dare the unknown, spark collaborations, ignite research, make bold choices, and push your creative vision forward. Come to get inspired. Stay to get empowered."

retreats in 2025

Our transformation retreats are immersive, four-day experiences held in the serene and inspiring setting of Lake Balaton (Hungary). These retreats are designed to foster personal and artistic growth, providing a nurturing environment for deep exploration and creative breakthroughs.

This year, we launch three summer retreats and two autumn retreats.

We don’t work with strict deadlines—but places are very limited. Each group holds space for only 4 participants. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so we warmly encourage you to apply early, before the groups are full.
