🌲 Trek. Observe. Create.
This October, join us on the Black Forest Trail in the Rimbick–Singalila region of Darjeeling for a trek shaped by both adventure and imagination. In association with Art East Academy, we’re bringing trekking and creative expression together on the same trail. 🥾🎨
Pause to sketch a view that catches your eye. Frame a photograph of the forest, the mountains, or a moment shared with fellow trekkers. Bring the ideas you’ve always wanted to explore outdoors—whether they belong in a notebook, behind a camera, or in a form you haven’t tried yet. 📸✏️
Come for the walk, make something along the way, and share the experience with people who love to explore and create. Be part of this creative journey with us this October.
Message us to learn more and join the trek.

Colours of Calm 🎨

Children don’t always have the words for everything they feel.

Sometimes anger comes out as a tantrum. Sometimes fear becomes silence. Sometimes stress looks like restlessness, frustration, or simply not knowing how to explain what’s happening inside.

Colours of Calm is a 2.5-hour creative workshop for mothers of children aged 3–12 years, designed around a simple idea: before we correct a child’s behaviour, we need to understand the feeling behind it.

Through simple, accessible art and craft activities, we’ll explore ways to help children express emotions, release anger, create a sense of safety, and build stronger emotional connections at home.

No drawing experience is required.
No artistic skills are needed.
Just curiosity, patience, and a willingness to see the world a little more through your child’s eyes.

Because sometimes, a child may not be able to say “I’m overwhelmed.”
But they might be able to draw it, colour it, scribble it, or make it.

Connect before you correct. 🌈

The Living Canvas 🌿🎨

What if a journey through the mountains could become more than a trek?

The Living Canvas is a five-day, four-night art and nature experience through the Black Forest Trail, created by Musaafiran × Art East Academy. It is an invitation to slow down, observe deeply, and create directly from the landscape.

From Rimbik to Upper Sepi, through Gurdum and Timburey, the trail becomes our studio and the mountains become our classroom. Along the way, we’ll explore plein-air watercolour, nature observation, botanical printing, texture rubbing, photography, sketching and field journaling. The Living Canvas 2026 - Detailed Itinerary.pdf

But this isn’t simply about making art in a beautiful place.

It is about learning to see.

The changing light on a mountain.
The blue-grey of distant hills.
The texture of moss on an old rock.
The pattern hidden in a fallen leaf.
The sound of a stream.
The silence between two trails.

Every day brings a new way of looking, and every observation becomes part of your Personal Field Journal, a growing archive of sketches, colour studies, prints, photographs, notes and reflections. The Living Canvas 2026 - Detailed Itinerary.pdf

Five days.
Four nights.
One forest.
And countless ways to see it.

Leave the noise behind. Follow the trail into the green. Pause where the trees have stories to tell. And create what you feel. 🌲
