Re-Inspiration 7.0
Re-Inspiration is a creative retreat to restart and recharge your personal inspiration and creative processes.
The programme is a guided seven-day workshop of creative practices, designed to help you re-tune your creative process.
What is Inspiration?
It is a strong inner feeling when the desire to do something burns from within. When it doesn't matter how, there are no obstacles and no stops, there is only the desire to do!
Who is this programme for?
For those who are tired of chasing sales and commercialising every action and project.
For those who have lost and buried the feeling of “I want”.
For those who have lost the pleasure of the process in the endless pursuit of results and achievements.
For those who are stuck in need and must.
For those who are experiencing a crisis of desire when old tools no longer work and new ones are not yet developed.
Practice and programme:
The practices are based on the instructor’s 19 years of experience in creative management, on the research and courses of the Eindhoven Academy of Design, and built around the philosophy of Isla De Crear.
It is constructed of 10% theory and 90% practical experience.
Each day you will work between 5-8 hours.
Every morning will start with yoga-based physical practices to unlock the sensations and flows that are trapped in the body. Then, you will receive creative assignments that will shift, change, and transform your creative habits and processes. These will be sessions in modelling, painting, collage, installations, sewing, coloring, and other craft-based activities. In the evening, there will be meditation-based practices to relax and unlock the subconscious.
Everything is based on the synergy of imagination, body, and the five senses.
You will also have time to enjoy the beautiful secluded location of sunny Andalusia.
The programme does not require any special background or skills, physical or creative.
Where will it be?
Isla de Crear is a creative centre, combining a range of disciplines, to explore creating
and crafting in a new method, away from commercial constraints or industry
guidelines, based on the principles of the Fantasism manifesto.
The centre is located in Úbeda, in the Jaén region of Andalusia, southern Spain,
where the sun is out 300 days of the year, in the middle of the Sea of Olives, with no
neighbours for miles, just outside Úbeda, a UNESCO world heritage site and home to
a buzzing community of artisan craftspeople and many cultural events.
Accommodation:
You will have your own spacious room, with a private shower and toilet. The rooms will have all the essentials: bedding, towels, a bar of natural Andalusian soap, a place to work, and wi-fi and a communal kitchen.
We will also have an art studio free for your imagination to use, with materials and tools for almost any kind of creativity.
Food:
The food will be vegetarian, it is the centre’s policy.
You will be asked about personal allergies and dietary needs when booking.
Teaser: Food will also be one of the practices of the programme.
