About the experience
There are places where time slows down and nature becomes the master.
Ninfee Experience is a four-day artistic retreat born from the encounter between the silence of the convent, the beauty of the Umbrian landscape, and the magic of a water lily pond reminiscent of the atmospheres painted by Claude Monet. It’s not just a simple painting course.
It’s a journey into perception, creativity, and self-discovery. Accompanied by three professionals: a professional artist who teaches, a mindfulness instructor, and an art psychologist.
