A place for your body, your mind & your soul
A place dedicated to inspiration and creativity
You’re interested in learning how to draw, to sing, to paint? You are looking for yoga session, meditation, reiki or a way to reconnect with your inner peace? We have everything you need! Shanqa organises events, sessions and workshops to promote art and spiritual practices. Have a look into the calendar below and subscribe to our newsletter to be informed about our offers.
Shanqa’s mission is to promote spiritual art & artists whose works open our heart and mind and radiate their power of wonder and harmonization. Our space is a way to fulfil this mission: welcoming artists, opening a place for them to deepen their connection to their own creativity, supporting them in this process according to their needs and at their request, organising events opened to public (concert, exhibition, festival, workshops), on the venue itself or outside. A space to isolate oneself, to find (back) oneself, to grow. A place to expand the power of Art to connect to the true Nature of our Being and with harmony, serenity and joy.

« Layer by layer, I have tried to remove myself from myself. My art has greatly helped in this. An internal process of restructuring, adding and eliminating all the layers which constitute me. My being, thoughts, experiences, memories, philosophies, spirituality, heart, mind, body, face, texture of skin…. everything peeled layer by layer to reach the source of light within. And through this all, that voice has guided me through. But why should I do this? The bliss of creation is absolute and there is no need to complicate it by these layers. This needs to be done, because a journey outside is now as important as the journey inside. Because things need to be said now. And with the use of fuzzy grammar, I have to channel outwards, the source of colours on my canvas, through my canvas. That is where I am now ».
– Tarun Sharma
The canvas is blank as well as the painter’s state of mind before he starts the creative process. It is all about clearing out every thought and let the Now be, move and manifest through the shapes. With acrylic, the artist has to be fully aware: no going back, no correction, no adjustment. The gesture becomes a flow and this very fluidity embodies the special quality of being here and now. In that sense, Art is a way of living. Tarun Sharma opens for us a path through the flow of Life, which comes to us and has to be welcomed with awareness, gratitude and respect. As each color, shape and movement is highly respected, enhanced and worshiped in the process of creation, these paintings offer the viewers a unique chance to (re)connect with the Present, its shapes, its flow.
The opening is blessed with a sitar recital by Sri Prasenjit Ray. See you on Friday 17th of February, 4.30pm.

“Pas de chance ?”, récit conté
Création de Marien Guillé
Un spectacle qui se tisse entre histoires du monde entier et fragments d’adolescence, entre conte traditionnel et récit personnel. Un voyage dans les méandres de la parole, pour rendre hommage aux histoires qui nous accompagnent et nous constituent, pour célébrer nos maladresses qui peuvent parfois nous emmener sur les pas de la chance…
« Quand je suis né, j’avais les mains tellement fermées, mes doigts étaient tellement repliés sur eux-mêmes, que j’ai mis des années à les ouvrir complètement et à réussir à faire des gestes simples. Faire mes lacets. Remonter une fermeture éclair. Éplucher une pomme. Allumer un briquet. Mes doigts et moi, ça n’a jamais fait la paire. J’en ai, pourtant, des doigts, comme tout le monde. J’ai deux mains, dix doigts. Modèle standard. Mais j’ai mis une éternité avant de pouvoir déchiffrer le mode d’emploi. Un jour, j’ai entendu cette femme, dans ce petit village de la Drôme Provençale, où j’étais venu passer quelques jours. J’étais sur la fin de mon adolescence. Pas tout à fait prêt à me réveiller, mais presque. Elle s’est mise à raconter une histoire… »
