A Larger Tapestry | A Mindful Art Retreat in the Heart of Sicily | July 11 – 18, 2026
Do you have a burning desire to join us, but finances are an obstacle?
In the interest of making the Art of Being teachings and retreat available to all, regardless of financial means, we are offering two scholarship spots at the special Scholarship rate of € 990. This is an all-inclusive rate, including lodging and all meals for the week. Transportation to and from the retreat is not included.
We understand this can still be a considerable financial cost for some. We suggest a fundraising campaign to gather pledges of support from family, friends, or colleagues to further offset costs if needed. An offering of your time, services, or creative handiwork in exchange for support can make for a meaningful exchange.
The two scholarship spots will be awarded according to the following timeline:
Scholarship 1
- Application deadline: January 15, 2026
- Award date: January 22, 2026
- Booking deadline: February 5, 2026
Scholarship 2
