Why Batik Retreat
Batik Retreat is an invitation to step out of everyday pace and into a slower rhythm of making.
These retreats offer time and space to work with batik as more than a technique — as a way of reconnecting with presence, creativity, and cultural craft.
Offered as one-day retreats in nature and extended multi-day immersions in selected locations, Batik Retreat brings together guided creative practice, reflective space, and — for longer formats — cultural immersion alongside local batik artisans in Indonesia or Malaysia.
