Soul. Art. Flow. – The Liberated Artist

Aligning your Soul with your Art

Are you creating from the heart, or simply performing from the mind? Many artists find themselves caught in a cycle of pressure, perfectionism, and constant effort, slowly losing touch with the spark that first drew them to create.

This 4-day immersion invites you to release that strain and return to a more open way of making art. Through the combined practice of Hridaya Yoga, deep meditation, and authentic creative expression, you will be guided to soften creative blocks and reconnect with your inner source. More than a workshop, this is a space for the alignment of Soul and Art.

What you will experience

The Embodied Release - Hatha Yoga

We begin with Hatha Yoga not as physical training, but as a somatic doorway into the body. With gentle movement, we work to release the physical and mental tension that can harden around the heart like armor, making space for rest, openness, and creative receptivity.

The Stillness of the Source - Meditation

In deep meditation, the restless noise of the mind begins to settle. As you rest in the stillness of the Heart, a more natural and effortless flow can emerge. Rather than forcing art to happen, you learn to let it move through you.

The Wisdom of the Muse - Lectures & Tools

These sessions are grounded in practice, not theory alone. We will explore the structure of creativity and share practical tools, along with spiritual practices, that help sustain inspiration. You will discover ways to turn everyday life into a supportive space for your art.

The Sacred Play - Artistic Practices & Games

Through artistic games and unconventional exercises, we invite the serious mind to loosen its grip. By stepping beyond familiar patterns, you can move around the inner critic and reconnect with the spontaneous joy of the child within. This is the place where art becomes something you live, not just something you think about.

The Inner Alchemy - Somatic Practices & Yoga Nidra

With Yoga Nidra and deep somatic work, we enter the subconscious to meet the hidden wounds that may block expression. As awareness shines on these shadows, healing begins, and what once felt heavy can gradually become the raw material of your future art.

The Creative Sanctuary - Moments of Self-Creativity

These unhurried periods are devoted to deep personal connection. Here, you bring the stillness of meditation directly into your creative process. In the quiet of your own presence, you listen for the soul’s whisper and create from the authentic space of the Liberated Artist.

The Song of the Heart - Heart Sharing Circles

In sacred circles, we practice vulnerability and honest expression. As a Creative Sangha, we gather to share the longings of the soul and to be seen and heard without judgment. In this shared presence, courage naturally grows, and truth can be spoken aloud.

The Center

Ananda Forest is a yoga and meditation retreat center in the mountains of Southern Spain. It offers a space to return to your true nature, reconnect with the wisdom of the Heart, and live the yogic path in everyday life. Inspired by the teachings of Yoga, and also by permaculture and agroforestry, it supports a way of living that honors both Earth and Spirit.

Here, matter and consciousness are seen as inseparable. Caring for the Earth means caring for ourselves: tending the soil mirrors tending the body, protecting rivers reflects protecting our lifeblood, and connecting with fire awakens the inner flame. In a world that often forgets wholeness, Ananda Forest is dedicated to the living reality of Unity.

People from all backgrounds, traditions, and walks of life are welcome, united by respect and a sincere wish to grow.

The offering is simple, yet profound: immersion in nature’s rhythm, daily yoga and meditation, nourishing food, uplifting community, and teachings that awaken heart and mind.
