Immerse yourself for 5 days in a world of inspiration, creativity and nature, in the heart of the hills of the Balearic Island. This retreat is a journey for anyone who is looking to nurture their creativity, and to integrate creative tools both in their workflow and ordinary days. This is a unique experience that will reignite your inner spark, reconnect and empower you to embrace your true creative self.
Every day will include full schedule of carefully curated workshops with Sebastian Mullaert and Be Svendsen, with opportunity to join various activities throughout the day in nature, such as yoga, guided meditation, silent hikes and various creative and collaborative exercises.
The retreat is open for anyone, as we believe creativity is inherent to everyone. The focus is very holistic and wide, it can also be applied to any creative process and expression, and can be very useful for people who work with other forms of art and creativity.
Your Teachers
Sebastian Mullaert & Be Svendsen's synergy and compatibility is immediately apparent and completely undeniable. Yet at the same time they demonstrate that whilst in overwhelming alignment around core principles of creativity, their unique artistic practice can often be completely unique and sometimes even opposing. Our aim is not to tell any truths or facts, but to set up a framework that empowers you to experience and find the answer yourself. It’s an invitation, a reminder and a possibility to let that process take form in yourself.
Drawing on a wealth of knowledge accumulated throughout their illustrious careers as live artists, performers, producers, for the past 25 years, Sebastian Mullaert and Be Svendsen will cover the countless facets of a flourishing artistic practice.
Sebastian’s illustrious career began in the mid-nineties with his widely celebrated Minilogue and Son Kite projects. His work as a composer has been acknowledged with multiple Swedish Grammy nominations and collaborations with the esteemed Zurich Philharmonic Orchestra. His awe inspiring live performances have touched the most exclusive global stages from Berghain to the Barbican and ranked in Resident Advisor’s top 12 live acts in the world. His reputation as one of the most inventive artists in the scene was cemented by his ground breaking 'Circle Of Live' improvised touring concept and music academy 'In Bloom'.
Since launching his solo project in 2011, Be Svendsen swiftly ascended to prominence as a defining sound of Burning Man Festival. With his enchanting compositions, he has enraptured the minds of millions globally, resonating deeply with audiences at renowned electronic festivals like BOOM, Fusion, and AfrikaBurn. His captivating Cercle performance further solidified his reputation as a visionary in the realm of contemporary electronic music. Through his evocative music and mesmerizing live sets, Be Svendsen continues to leave an indelible mark on the global electronic music scene.

Taking this course has completely shifted my perspective on creativity, revealing how my mind has hindered its flow. It's redirected my focus for the months and years ahead. I strongly recommend all artists to free up time in their agenda’s and draw inspiration from these brilliant minds, discovering fresh approaches to unleash creativity.
Amazing Community
Shindy Lall (UK)
The last 5 days have been beautiful. One of the biggest take-homes for me is to be connected to the people. It's not just about the music, the releases. A lot of the time has been about looking at yourself, what creativity means to you and how to express yourself - not just for your audience but for yourself.
A really meaningful experience
Rebecca Hu (USA)
This retreat really helped me understand and dive into certain elements that we already there - things that I love but can’t explain, taking a step back and enjoying where you are, and that you are your music. To bring that into your music, just as much as it’s important to create something that is polished and beautiful. Thank you Sebastian and Lasse for reminding us to do that. I think they are so accomplished and also humble and playful. It was a really meaningful expereince.
Mindblowing creativity
Rasmus Stabell (DK)
It’s been mindblowing. Feeling the energy of the teachers but also from the group - that was maybe the best thing. I like that the format is not so formal, and we were always taken care of. There was a lot about everything else than music - spirituality, well being, mindfulness. That’s all important in my opinion for this feeling that we call creativity. I will definitely come back myself and bring my friends! The food and the setting here are amazing.
I would do it again!
Michael Schmidt (DE)
The time here was so amazing, I can highly recommend it to everybody. If you are a musician and you want to connect with others, find like minded people and learn and expand yourself - this is really the right place. I would definitely do it again!
Beautiful place, inspiring people
Achronon / Christophe Novak (LUX)
For me this was a resonance on so many levels at the same time - a catalyst for potentials that I always knew were deep inside of me. Just being here together in this beautiful place with incredibly inspiring artists meant the world to me.
