Shades of Becoming – A Creative Retreat with Siraj Saxena
Each color carries a story. Each layer holds emotion. This creative retreat with Siraj Saxena invites you to slow down and let your hands speak through painting, paper-making, and clay work to explore who you are through the art you create.
As you move between mediums, you move deeper within. Sessions are less about artistic skill and more about opening space for stillness, spontaneity, and healing through form and feeling.
