The sun finally came out and we were delighted to welcome 9 ladies to our International Women`s Day event.  We started the day in style with a glass of fizz and a tour of the facilities.  The gardens are looking crisp and beautiful after the rain and Uschi was delighted to have the opportunity to show the new art installations in hidden spots throughout the gardens, tranquil secret seating areas for contemplation, the new treatment room and sauna, the yoga lawn, breakfast terrace and some of the newly renovated accommodation together with the all important Art Room, patio and wooden terrace with its stunning views to the misty hills.

Kerstin Wagner led the morning art session with a communal painting created by all participants.  Vibrant and tactile,  a swirling use of colour and cooperation with the opportunity to cut out your own creation from the whole.

A delicious lunch and the opportunity to chat with new friends followed by Uschi sharing a little of her history with the group.

Aderita Silva led the afternoon session with participants creating beautiful, light and bright acrylic abstracts using a range of techniques.

A great day and our thanks to Kerstin, Aderita and Jan Hinze for her great photos
