A Retreat in Floral Design and Mandala-Making
Immerse yourself in the ephemeral art of floral design and floral mandala-making amid the breathtaking landscapes of historic Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, New Mexico – the desert haven where Georgia O’Keeffe lived and worked. Using an abundance of fresh blooms, we’ll first explore the art of floral arranging with Elizabeth Cronin, then come together to co-create a large-scale floral mandala guided by floral artist Preeti Samraj.
During this retreat, you’ll learn how to process flowers, craft unique arrangements, make a large scale floral installation and participate in the ancient, meditative art of mandala-making.
Between sessions, enjoy ample time to experience the beauty of the region — join a 90-minute guided horseback tour, visit Lake Abiquiu, Echo Amphitheater, take a tour of Georgia O’Keeffe's home , hike the sandstone cliffs, or simply rest under vast desert skies.
Create, connect, and celebrate the Summer Solstice in this land of enchantment.
