Carmen is a woman who collects experiences rather than things.
She finds inspiration in people, art, travel, deep conversations, spontaneous laughter and, of course, a good glass of champagne.
As a holistic regression therapist, creative event producer and experience curator, she believes that beauty isn't only something we see — it's something we feel.
Over the years, Carmen has hosted inspiring creative workshops at retreats in Estonia, Ibiza, Mexico and Portugal, creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves — playfully, authentically and without judgement.
She's difficult to put into one box. One day she might be meditating in the stillness of the Norwegian fjords, the next exploring an exhibition in a London art museum or dancing on a secret rooftop — and soon after, creating an event that brings together people, emotions and unforgettable moments.
Those who know Carmen describe her as warm-hearted, courageous, honest and deeply caring. She can be wonderfully direct, but she's also full of life — someone who knows how to be both deep and playful, and whose presence makes it easy to feel genuinely seen.
For Carmen, life is meant to be experienced.
Wholeheartedly. Fully present. And with a few bubbles in the glass.

Meet your hosts
Karine is an artist who believes that art doesn't simply fill walls — it creates emotions, connects people and helps us notice what often gets lost in everyday life.
For her, both art and life are all about chemistry — between colours, between people, and sometimes within ourselves.
She likes to think of abstract art a little like falling in love: you don't have to fully understand it to know when it feels right.
At The Art of Being Away, Karine invites you into a creative space where there are no right or wrong brushstrokes. Just colours, laughter, a little creative chaos, a glass of champagne and that wonderful moment when you forget what everyone else might think.
Because that's often when something truly your own begins to emerge. And there is something surprisingly attractive about that.

Artist & Creative Guide
For Kersti, movement is no longer simply something she does — it's the way she lives.
For more than twenty years, she has guided people through movement, teaching in some of Estonia's leading fitness clubs before creating her own wellness brand built around mindful movement and a balanced lifestyle.
Over the years, her philosophy has become beautifully simple: movement should never feel like another obligation. It should be something we genuinely look forward to — something that supports our body, clears our mind and makes us feel good.
Her sessions weave together yoga, mobility, mindful movement and functional strength into practices that are gentle, grounding and accessible to everyone.
At The Art of Being Away, Kersti isn't here to teach the "perfect" yoga class. Instead, she'll invite you to slow down, arrive in your body and discover simple movements and morning rituals that can continue supporting you long after the retreat has ended.
More than anything, she hopes you'll leave feeling what so many of her students tell her after class: "This was exactly what I needed."
