“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.

 

Each 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 another level. In Spanish, this feeling is called duende—the profound spirit of inspiration that connects us to something greater. 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’ll discover tools to deepen your connection with your inner artist, unlocking new dimensions of your artistic sensitivity and personal expression.  You will be introduced to meditative art practices, the energy of color, mandala painting, sacred geometry, creative visualization, intuitive collage, herb-infused candle making, and more to open up to  your artistic sensitivity, and use it for your art! If you're longing  to nurture your inner artist and your soul, this small-group retreat is exactly what you need.

 

Soak in the gentle rhythms of Greek life!

Beyond our guided sessions, you’ll have ample time to relax, reflect, and soak in the gentle rhythms of Greek life. Enjoy independent studio time, savor the tranquility of the landscape, and connect with like-minded women who share your passion for creativity and spirituality. If you’re ready to nurture your creative spirit, rekindle your artistic flame, and embrace the bliss of nature, this intimate retreat is your calling. Join us for a blissful week of inspiration, connection, and experiencing the integration of life and art to the fullest!
