“Sea and Flowers” Art Project

A Weekend of Flowers, Art, and Inspiration

We invite you to join us for an unforgettable weekend immersed in flowers, art, and photography, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the North Sea, dunes, and blooming gardens. This will be the perfect escape—a fusion of nature, aesthetics, and inspiration.

The journey will begin with a guided walk through the iconic Keukenhof gardens, where you’ll capture its stunning beauty through photography. We’ll then stroll through the charming streets of Leiden, capping off the day with dinner at a hidden gem.

The following day, join a floral workshop led by artist and photographer Lilya Corneli, where you’ll create exquisite compositions inspired by Flemish paintings. In the afternoon, we’ll walk along the sea and dunes, followed by a delightful beach picnic and a magical sunset dinner by the water.

This weekend promises beauty, inspiration, and connection—an opportunity to escape the ordinary and embrace creativity. A journey for the soul, the senses, and the heart. Don’t miss this chance to be part of something truly special!

 

Alina, Austria

“This art journey was a truly special experience for me. It allowed me to step away from the routine of everyday life—and even my usual thoughts—and immerse myself in a deeply creative atmosphere. I found inspiration in the beauty around me, which heightened my appreciation for life’s finer details. More than that, I was surrounded by incredible people and creativity that not only captivated me but also enriched my perspective in ways I hadn’t expected.”

Sabina, Austria

“My retreat weekend in the Netherlands was an unforgettable experience. One of the absolute highlights was the Keukenhof Flower Exhibition—the breathtaking colors and incredible variety of flowers made it a truly immersive way to appreciate the beauty of nature. Another standout moment was the flower and photo workshop, where I learned to capture moments by blending colors and textures. This experience deepened my perspective, making me more mindful and present. Overall, it was a weekend filled with beauty, creativity, and wonderful company. A truly inspiring and memorable experience!”

Michael, Germany

“Who would have thought I’d be creating my own bouquet of flowers, learn how to take beautiful photos of it, and then become the subject of an artistic photographic portrait myself that recreated a classical piece, all of it in one day? I might have had some little doubts, but they dissipated within seconds after meeting our wonderful hosts and guides. That was by far not all, though: discovering the beauty of nature and gorgeous places in a wonderful group of participants and experienced professionals was unforgettable. So much joy, so much fun, so rewarding! I’d repeat it without thinking twice.”

Juliane, Germany

“Such a marvellous retreat! Two fascinating days of exploring nature, beautiful places, art and our own creativity, of joyful and playful discovering and learning, pleasant surprises, and of enjoying the wonderful company of like-minded people. All of it organised and guided by the most welcoming and truly professional staff you could ever wish for. Two truly joyful and gratifying days I’ll never forget. Can’t wait to set out on another adventure soon!”
