The monastery, the surrounding nature, the other participants, and especially the guidance of our mentor, all brought me closer to my art practice in ways I never could have imagined. I feel rested, recharged, inspired, and motivated to continue creating." "Nature and Perspective" was the perfect title for our time in the monastery. We let nature into our lives with slow and easy intention, which in turn changed and reframed our perspective on our own lives and existence itself. Also, the food was fresh and fantastic!

I have so much thanks and gratitude for this experience, for the memories made, friendships built, and lessons learned. I specifically would like to thank Panou for your listening, support, and guidance — your facilitation and wisdom have been inspirational to me. It will stay with me for a long long time and I am super grateful.

Removed from the distractions and routines of daily life, I was able to devote myself fully to my work and settle into a pace that allowed for deeper reflection and sustained focus. The monastery's setting created a sense of distance from the outside world while fostering a stronger connection to the landscape, history, and my personal creative process. The mentorship was one of the most valuable aspects. Our conversations often centered on personal history, cultural inheritance, ancestral connection, and the ways memory is carried across generations. My work explores questions of diaspora, identity, and belonging, so these discussions were especially meaningful. Because my professional life is immersed in the work of other artist
