“Capture the Bliss” is a  week-long spiritual art retreat for women who are ready to infuse their artistic expression with spiritual sensitivity. Set amidst the breathtaking Greek countryside, this retreat invites you to awaken your intuition, connect to your artistic soul, and immerse yourself in the boundless inspiration of nature. We will meditate, paint and collage, expressing the mystical moments of awe which touch our soul.

​

​Unlock Your Inner Artist & Soul

This is a unique week where you will learn the tools to open up to spiritual sensitivity and use it for your art. You will learn how to distill that very essence out of nature and life that makes your heart sing; that makes your life meaningful.

In the morning, you will participate in transformative classes, where we’ll explore the delicate interplay of intuition, sensitivity, and artistry. Together, we’ll capture the “bliss” - those soulful moments of awe and wonder that uplift and fulfill us and inspire us to bring our art to a deeper level. Through painting, collage, and other artistic mediums, you’ll learn to translate this inner joy and connection with the mysterious beauty of nature into personal works of art. Our creative journey will take us into the open air, working in a serene garden and by the crystal-clear waters of the sea.

​

You will be introduced to meditative art practices, the energy of color, mandala painting, sacred geometry, creative visualization, and intuitive collage and painting. If you're longing to unlock your inner artist and your soul, this small-group retreat is exactly what you need.

Join us and capture the bliss in your art! Immerse yourself in the connection between art & spirituality, and discover your inner muse. Iris, the goddess of divine inspiration, guides us on this creative journey!
