What We Offer
The Imayla programme comprises a year round mix of long and short term learning opportunities such as workshops, courses, seminars, events and summer schools as well as bespoke learning packages developed in partnership with clients and organisations that meet the needs, aspirations and safety of specific groups of learners.
Arts, intercultural and environmental strands play off each other and create endless opportunities for people to participate in unique social, cultural, and spiritual experiences whilst gaining new skills and means of self-expression.
Imayla provides a creative resource where people can come for a day or longer to spend time in a beautiful place and to use the professional facilities. Imayla wishes to make their resources accessible to as wide a community of interest as possible at affordable rates.
