The Cool Projects Studio
Make art, make room for quiet
A ceramic workshop, a painting studio and a backyard yurt give this Aegina space a distinctly hands-on feel. Set on two floors on the outskirts of Aegina town, The Cool Projects Studio is about a 10-minute walk from town and a few minutes from Grapevine House. The setting suits a retreat that leaves room for making things as well as slowing down: the yurt sits beside pistachio fields, while the studio spaces provide room to focus on individual creative work. It is a different proposition from a conventional meditation center, and the tradition or format of any contemplative sessions is not defined here. Instead, think of it as a creative retreat venue where quiet reflection can fit alongside art practice. The center is paid; ask directly about rates, dates, and what is included in a particular retreat.
