All about our courses
In our Vedic Art courses in Aegina, which are hosted by www.aeginaretreats.com, our goal is to offer you an immersive experience centred on unlocking and expressing your creativity. We believe in connecting with nature and your inner self, all while embracing a rhythm that suits your individual needs. Our community values are about respecting personal space and time, and fostering a secure environment for the exploration of your creative potential.
​
Set on the welcoming island ofAegina, you can stay at The Grapevine House, 5 min walk from the studio to enjoy an all round experience with your Vedic Art but also get the chance to explore the local way of life. The island offers many additional activities and opportunities for exploration, as well as delicious, fresh seafood and locally sourced fruit, vegetable and dairy products. Historical sites dot the landscape, adding a layer of cultural richness to your experience.
​
All these elements come together to create a unique space-time capsule, allowing you to escape from your everyday routine and spend a transformative week in a world where nature, self-discovery, and creativity intersect.
Please Note.
Vedic Art Foundation Courses can also be booked as a retreat, with accommodation, breakfast & lunch included at The Grapevine House. If you are interested to book your foundation course as a retreat, either visit www.aeginaretreats.com or contact us for a quote.
The courses are founded on the methodology developed by Curt Kallmann in 1988 in Sweden. For those new to Vedic Art courses, here's a brief overview. Each course follows a specific structure, and the initial step for newcomers is the Foundation course, which is a prerequisite for any subsequent courses. This foundational programme serves as an introduction to Curt Kallmann's method and the 17 principles of Vedic Art.
​
Upon completing the Foundation course, participants gain the flexibility to enroll in any of the available courses to further their exploration.

It's important to note that all Vedic Art Greece Courses are conducted on a weekly basis.

The basic schedule unfolds as follows:

Saturday at around 12pm: 1st Day. The programme kicks off with introductions and the allocation of studio space, accompanied by tea, coffee and snacks.

Classes start on Sunday at 10:00am, and typically run for 1-3 hours in the morning, providing participants with ample time for personal painting pursuits in the studio throughout the rest of the day.
