Balanced Rock Art in Nature

Renew your spirit on one of our creative art courses by putting down the stresses of daily life and picking up your paintbrush. Be inspired by our talented artists and dedicated wilderness staff to awaken your senses and return to your center, within the beautiful setting of Yosemite National Park. Let yourself ease into your natural rhythm and connect with the peace of nature-celebrating the muse of water, wind, tree, and meadow. Through the exploration of creative arts and self-expression inspired by Yosemite wilderness, we cultivate self-discovery awareness and presence.

Balanced Rock art programs vary depending on the creative discipline; some programs emphasize technical artistic skills, while others focus on encouraging spontaneity and celebrating freedom of expression through the body and voice. Come with as much or little art experience as you have-all are welcome in our safe and encouraging environment.

If you are interested in creative art, these courses are for you:

My art-making allows me to express my delight in landforms-capturing the play of light-and then sharing a moment in time with others. Beauty is everywhere; it can be found in the ordinary and the mundane or the extraordinary. It is all just a way of seeing.
