Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and Italian landscape during this transformative art retreat designed to awaken your creativity and ignite your inner soul. Surrounded by medieval landscapes and the Italian hills of Umbria, you’ll explore the connection between the natural and world and your inner self through guided mixed media art sessions. Using elements of the environment as both inspiration and material, you’ll create a beautifully expressive collection of art that reflects your personal journey. This retreat offers a nurturing space to reconnect with yourself, explore creativity, and discover the “you within” through the healing power of art and nature.
You will:
Re-discover the “you within” as you ignite your inner soul through nature and mixed media art.
Create freely and uninhibited.
Find harmony and balance within.
Ignite your soul.
Freely express the real you.
Explore the connection between nature and your inner self.
Explore feelings, emotions and thoughts through guided meditation, gentle movement and creativity.
Find your inner light.
Let Chris gently and lovingly guide you through meditation and creative expression where you can come “home” to yourself and reconnect with who you really are through your own explored creativity. You are invited to slow down, make time for YOU and feel deeply alive.
Journey to the “Heart of Your Inner Forest” as you use inks, paints, paper, fibres, fabric, and natural materials to explore your inner authentic self. Freely express yourself through journaling and create metaphorical layers of growth, exploration and healing. Sketch natural or man made elements that call to you.
Find inner clarity as you honor and explore your “Inner Season” through color and collage exploration. Discover “The Spark Beneath the Soil” as you begin to uncover your hidden fire- the bold, raw, untamed part of you that lives beneath the surface, as you express yourself through the creation of raw, earthy mixed media pieces using paper, fabric, pigment and natural elements from the earth.
Stitch, collage, paint, layer, sketch and affirm your way through self expression as you explore “Shining my Light Within” to end your week feeling empowered, uplifted and transformed.
What needs tending in your internal forest? What’s ready to bloom?
This retreat isn’t just about making art. It’s about making space for transformation.
Retreat into nature. Return to yourself.
