From the organizer:
Our 3 day “Art for the Soul” retreat is an immersive experience in The Art Process. We will be exploring our inner creative voice through process oriented mixed media art, community discussions, meditation and gallery visits…This is a great opportunity for self discovery amongst a supportive creative community. The retreat is geared towards anyone who is curious about the creative path whether you are just exploring your creativity for the first time or are a practicing artist who wants to deepen your practice. Our work focuses on abstract layered mixed media and collage art.
...
The idea behind "The Art Process" is to nurture a love of art making as a healing form of creative expression. We provide engaging mixed media & painting art classes, workshops and retreats for ALL levels from beginners to those with more experience; for individuals or teams. Participants develop creative self confidence by taking the fear out of art making and move through creative blocks.
