Foundation Course
5 to 6 days
This course presents you with ways to come into contact again with your creative intelligence.
Through a variety of inspiring drawing and painting suggestions and exercises, you meet the 17 principles and discover the connection between your life and what develops and appears on your canvas.
In this way, you come spontaneously into contact with the 3 levels of Vedic Art:
basic technical knowledge of painting, personal creativity, and your inner consciousness.
The course runs for 5 or 6 days.
The course takes place from 10 am to 5 pm, but the studio stays open until 5 pm to allow you the time and space to follow your own rhythm.
Price: 280 € (5 days) 300€ (6 days)

Continuation Course
5 days
During this course, as you receive the Vedic Art principles for a second time, you have the chance to deepen your experience and understanding.
We have moved on from the exercises of the Foundation course and the teacher's talks go deeper into the meaning and processes of Vedic Art and its connection with daily life.
The lectures are illustrated by additional poems that Curt Källmann wrote for each principle.
After the day's lecture, you dive into your own painting process.
The Continuation course is designed for maximum freedom. The studio is open from 10 am to 5 pm and we start together, but you decide how long and how much you want to paint, to give yourself all the freedom and space you need.
In this way, you will develop your own authentic style to express yourself in total freedom, without comparing: whatever arises in you or your painting is right.
You may discover a new way of looking at your life, and begin to open up to the possibilities you have for living life more fully in all its aspects.
Price: 280 € (5 days)

Advanced Course: Back to the point 5 days The impulse of life is to manifest, create and then to rest in silence. Afterwards, when we feel the passion and the energy again, we can create again. We expand and then contract. After the enthusiasm of creative expansion, there is always the longing to go back to the point of silence.
In this course, we observe and follow that natural law: you reach the outer limits of expansion to then go back to a point of silence with yourself and your painting. During the course, you will be given guidance on how to "be" with your painting, in deep conversation with yourself. From that point of stillness, you come back into motion once more, inspired by the intimate contact with your inner source |
Price: 280 € (5 days)
Includes tea & biscuits. Lunch is as you wish: bring a picnic, have lunch at your accommodation, or go out a local restaurant.

One big canvas (about 1 m x 80 cm or 1 m x 1 m)

Introduction + advanced Course: 6 Vedangas (the 6 creative driving forces) 5 days On this course we go deeper in the ancient knowledge of the Vedic tradition. The word Veda comes from Sanskrit and means knowledge and the acquiring of that knowledge via the patience of practice. Vedangas literally means the extremities of Veda or the arms and legs of Veda. The six Vedangas, then, are those creative driving forces within us which help us put the knowledge to practical use. Each of the six Vedangas is clarified in relation to our life and our personal artistic creativity. |
Price: 280 €
Includes tea & biscuits. Lunch is as you wish: bring a picnic, have lunch at your accommodation, or go out a local restaurant.
Course material
On the Six Vedangas Course, you bring whatever painting materials you prefer.

Advanced course
12th principle
5 days
During this retreat we dive deep into the 12th principle.
Going on our own pace and rhythm, we achieve access to the inner knowledge that is structured in our consciousness and discover the weightlessness of being. From there, we step into life again.
Our natural state of being is to be in constant evolution and to be open to the possibility of transformation.
The 12th principle comes to life.
'The meaning of life is expansion in happiness'
Maharishi
