Inspired by the spirit of the Renaissance—an era of beauty, awakening, and artistic rebirth—this intimate half-day gathering invites you into your own season of renewal.
Through ritual, breathwork, reflection, movement, conversation, and creative expression, you’ll be guided to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and see your body, your story, and your next chapter through a softer, more reverent lens.
At the heart of the experience is an invitation to reclaim the body as art. Inspired by the way Renaissance artists studied the human form with curiosity and wonder, you’ll be guided away from self-criticism and toward a more compassionate way of seeing yourself—less like a critic, more like an artist.
Using beautiful Renaissance-inspired materials, you’ll create a personal art piece to take home—not as an exercise in perfection, but as a way of honoring the parts of yourself ready to be seen more fully.
A lovingly home-cooked seasonal lunch will add warmth to the day, offering space to gather, share, and nourish body and soul in the company of thoughtful women.
Hosted at the residence of Nikolina Kovalenko, a professional artist and transformation coach, this experience brings together creativity, self-discovery, connection with the natural world, and personal renewal in an atmosphere that feels both expansive and deeply supportive.
You’ll leave with a meaningful piece of art, a softer way of seeing yourself, renewed connection with other women, and fresh energy to meet the season of change.
