THE ART OF BEING

a creative experience retreat.

Date: 05.11.2026 till 08.11.2026

 

A creative journey from simply functioning to inner guidance.

 

In a world that is constantly growing louder and demanding more, it is easy to lose touch with one’s inner voice.

This retreat creates space to pause, step away from everyday life and reconnect with oneself. Through creative processes, movement and mindful reflection, a supportive environment unfolds for gaining new perspectives, inner clarity and a deeper awareness of personal needs and potential.

The retreat is designed for those who seek more than simply keeping up with the pace of everyday life. For anyone ready to rediscover themselves, question familiar patterns and explore new paths with curiosity, courage and openness.

THE ART OF BEING

What to expect

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Through carefully curated reflection sessions, you will explore how experiences, relationships, expectations, and the stories you tell yourself have shaped your sense of self today.

You will discover what truly belongs to you, what you no longer need to carry, and what you consciously want to choose for your future.

But the retreat goes beyond insight. An essential part of the experience is exploring how these realisations can find their place in everyday life — in your decisions, your relationships, your boundaries, and the structures that shape your life.

CREATIVITY

Do you think you’re not creative?

What if creativity had less to do with being particularly good at painting or creating, and more with our ability to not simply react to life, but to actively shape it ourselves?

Together with artist Nicole Kläs, you will embark on a creative process beyond right or wrong, skill, expectations, or performance.

You will create your own abstract “self-portrait” — not as an accurate representation of who you are, but as an expression of what wants to become visible within you.

The aim is not to create a “beautiful picture.” Instead, the artwork becomes an expression of an inner quality that has emerged and become visible throughout the retreat.

MOVEMENT

Every change begins with movement.

That is why The Art of Being does not take place solely in the mind. Conscious movement, yoga, walks, breathwork, and body awareness accompany you throughout the days, creating a continuous interplay between reflection and immediate experience.

REGENERATION

Personal growth does not always require more input. Sometimes, what it needs most is space.

That is why mindful pauses and time for regeneration are just as much a part of this retreat as learning and creativity.

Between the shared sessions, there is time to pause, reconnect with yourself, find stillness, and enjoy the unique surroundings of GRACE LA MARGNA.

The Art of Being is an invitation to spend a few days less concerned with who you think you should be — and to become curious again about who you are.

YOUR HOSTS

  • Patricia Leitgeb

    Communication Scientist, Systemic Coach & Yoga Teacher

    Patricia Leitgeb explores a question that lies at the heart of The Art of Being: How much of what we consider to be our personality have we consciously chosen, and how much have we learned to believe about ourselves along the way?

    Before becoming a coach, Patricia spent more than ten years building brands, developing campaigns and leading teams. A life that looked successful and worked well from the outside, but eventually no longer felt truly aligned with who she was.

    Her search for the why led her deep into the topics of identity, self-image and human behaviour. Today, she combines systemic coaching, NLP and communication science in her work, supporting people in developing a more nuanced understanding of themselves and living their lives more consciously.

    At The Art of Being, Patricia creates space to explore the stories, roles and expectations that shape our self-image — and to ask which of them still truly belong to us today.

  • Nicole Klas

    Artist

    For Nicole Kläs, art is about far more than creating a painting. It is a space where, for a moment, there is no right or wrong, no beautiful or ugly, and no expectations to meet.

    When the opportunity arose in her own life to make a fresh professional start, Nicole found herself facing an important question: What do I really want to do? What makes me happy while I’m doing it, and where can I truly fulfil my potential?

    The answer led her back to a fascination that had accompanied her for a long time: art. Her love of painting gave rise to the dream of having her own studio, and eventually to the decision not just to dream about it, but to make it a reality.

    Today, Nicole uses her art and her work to create spaces for freedom, creativity and self-expression. At The Art of Being, she encourages you to let go of the pressure to achieve a particular result and instead allow something to emerge that doesn’t have to be right, but simply has to be yours.
