About the Workshop

As the seasons shift, everything changes - the colors outside, the light in the afternoons, and the quiet emotional transitions happening within us. Stillness in Motion is an evening designed to help you pause long enough to notice those changes, both around you and inside you.

Guided by Margaréta Csiszár, botanical watercolor artist and founder of Studio Reta, and Nóra Árvai, clinical health psychologist and somatic writing educator, this workshop blends watercolor and reflective somatic writing into a soft, grounding experience. Together, these practices help you reconnect with yourself through color, breath, and mindful attention.

What You’ll Experience

Through soft color blending and body‑led writing, you’ll explore how nature’s transitions mirror your own - how summer softens into autumn and winter, how feelings shift and settle, how change can be observed rather than resisted.

Watercolor slows the hands. Writing slows the mind. For a few hours, urgency is replaced with curiosity, productivity with presence, and perfection with play.

No writing or artistic experience is needed.

We connect for you to help reconnect with yourself.

What You’ll Leave With

• your finished botanical watercolor piece

• simple nervous system tools to use at home

• writing prompts for overwhelming days

• a deeper connection to seasonal transitions

Why This Workshop Exists

New York asks us to move fast - answer emails, catch trains, make plans, keep going. But our nervous systems were never designed to live at that speed all the time.

This evening is an invitation to do the opposite. A moment to slow down in a city that never does. A mini retreat without leaving New York. Because your nervous system deserves a weekend - even if it's just a couple of hours.
