One Day Getaway in The Secret Garden

ONE DAY GETAWAY in THE SECRET GARDEN … 🍂

This summer, I opened the gate of my Secret Garden twice for One Day Getaway.

Two editions. Two different groups of women. Women who largely did not know each other, and yet from the beginning there was trust, curiosity, openness, and connection.

It was painted without needing to become anything. Written and drawn in my handmade Art Cover Sketchbooks. Walked barefoot along the Path of Desire, paused at the Square of Meaning, and desires found a place at the Tree of Desire.

There were creative ways of working, setups, symbolism, and beautiful conversations.

Ismène, this was exactly what I needed. I feel like shining again. You've stirred quite a bit in my vortex. I can teach people to play the piano and mix colors, but now I want to start painting myself again. From nothing. That was so wonderful.

Another response touched exactly on what I want to achieve with One Day Getaway: how special it was to prioritize lightness and fun upfront, rather than diving deep right away.

Because that depth eventually came.

Not because it had to be, but in between painting, playing, eating, walking, laughing, and meeting.

Perhaps that is also why I wanted to create One Day Getaway. To no longer see my different worlds as separate, but rather to bring them together: art, nature, creativity, coaching, theater, music, play, and my love for connecting people.

And after two very successful summer editions, I know one thing:

the gate opens again. 🍂

In October, I want to organize a One Day Getaway – Autumn Edition in The Secret Garden.

A new season. A different atmosphere. Again a maximum of 6 women.

Who is already thinking: I want to be part of that? 🤎

And hopefully you won't leave at the end feeling like you've worked hard on yourself...

but just lighter.

With color on your hands, something new in your mind, a smile on your face, and a little more desire to play.

I am because WE are.
