What do you get when you combine art, wellness and a gold medallist? For one, you will have a unique, artistic, wellness journey making for a truly exceptional experience.
On June 23, 2024, The Westin Goa, Anjuna, is offering a unique and unforgettable, artistic wellness experience, featuring Gregory Burns, a Paralympian gold medallist and accomplished artist.
This opportunity includes a studio painting masterclass, led by Gregory, where participants will get the chance to not only learn painting techniques but also be inspired by Gregory's journey and achievements.
Gregory, a three-time Paralympic gold medallist and world record holder in swimming, is a distinguished athlete, acclaimed artist, motivational speaker and author.
Known for his resilience and discipline in Paralympic sports and unique artistic expression, Gregory will host guided artistic wellness itineraries and inspirational, interactive group sessions at The Westin Goa property.
"There are many paths to peace and wellness. One route I have found effective is through art making. In the process of creation, we mere mortals often move into a state of introspection and insight," says Gregory of his wellness journey.
"Through this process, we have the opportunity to be in touch with the more subtle spiritual aspects of our being which I feel contributes to overall happiness and wellbeing," he adds.
Gregory, who visited Goa in 1985 during a backpacking journey through China, Nepal, India and Pakistan, found sanctuary and respite here. Now residing at The Westin Goa property, he continues to seek a sanctuary and a place for reflection.
His connection with Goa, from his earlier travels, underscores the profound impact the region had on him as a destination of tranquillity and introspection.
