Thangka Art Retreat Umbria, Italy 2026: Pictures & Meditations

Italy Thangka Art Retreat 2026

The Aftercare: Pictures and Meditations

The annual Thangka Drawing & Painting Retreat Week in Umbria, with sightseeing in Gubbio and Assisi (the holy city of St. Francis)

Green Tara thangka by Carmen Mensink

During this 8-day retreat in Italy with Carmen Mensink, students can choose the subject they want to work on. This year (2-9 May, 2026) the main focus was on Green Tara and White Tara, and so all lectures and meditations were focused on that, too.
SAVE THE DATE: Next year’s retreat in Umbria, Italy, will be from 1-8 May, 2027 (incl. lodging and all fabulous organic vegetarian meals)! Sign up for the Newsletter if you want to stay posted on it.
