Escape, rest and create in good company.

Eona, Nenita Chios

I’ll be joining the beautifulParéa Ada Artist Retreat this September on the island of Chios, where I’ll be teaching natural dyeing and batik workshops as part of a multidisciplinary artistic experience.

Paréa Ada is a creative community that brings together artists from different fields to connect, collaborate, and grow in an inspiring environment. Over the course of the retreat, participants are invited to slow down, explore their creative practice, and share meaningful moments in nature and in good company.

This retreat is ideal for those who wish to combine art, travel, and community—immersing themselves in a unique island setting while discovering new ways of creating.

What to Expect

Daily painting workshops in the art studio led by abstract artist Helen McCusker.
Workshops in natural dyeing and batik, including a guided foraging hike with me.
Daily guided yoga and meditation sessions before art practice.
2 catered meals per day (breakfast and dinner, as well as light snacks, home cooked greek dishes prepared in house).
Time and space: independent practice in the art studio or simply relaxing at the beach.
Optional group visits to local sights, neighbouring towns and a chance to learn about the local culture.
