"Creativity is contagious. Pass it on,"
- Albert Einstein
Join our Painting and Artist Community Retreat
We believe that creativity thrives when nurtured by both solitude and connection.
This week is an invitation for beginning and experienced visual artists, to focus on their own project, engage in enriching conversations, and inspire one another. Creating can often be a solitary endeavor, requiring deep personal investment. Immersing yourself in a community of like-minded individuals can nourish your creativity, spark inspiration, and open new pathways for your work.
We believe that creativity thrives when nurtured by both solitude and connection. Here, you will find the perfect balance between these two essential elements. Whether you seek quiet moments of introspection or lively discussions with fellow creatives, this retreat will provide the space and support you need to open up to your full creative potential.
During this retreat, participants help with light household tasks. This not only helps us build a sense of community but also keeps the costs low. On the first day, we will create a schedule to divide the household tasks.
