Join us to "Capture the Bliss" in a medieval Abbey in France!

Capture the Bliss: a week to infuse your artistic expression with spiritual sensitivity: 22 - 29 May.

Set amidst the breathtaking French countryside, this retreat invites you to awaken your intuition, connect to your artistic soul, and immerse yourself in the boundless inspiration of life. We will meditate, paint and collage, expressing the mystical moments of awe which touch our soul. The group will be small, 8 women maximum which guarantees a personal approach in a safe environment.

“This retreat gave me the opportunity to explore artistic expression in a supportive environment and inspired me to continue to create. It lifted the veil on the inner critic and welcomed the inner fan...loved that concept! Before I arrived, I felt blocked creatively but upon leaving I felt inspired and renewed, as I was immersed in the creative process for 6 full days and being supported and encouraged to express my artistic and soulful self. I very much appreciated Annette’s intuitive approach. And having all the resources at our fingertips was extremely helpful."

​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 distil 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 workshhops where we’ll explore the delicate interplay of intuition, sensitivity, and artistry. Together, we’ll capture the “bliss” - those soulful moments of happiness, awe and wonder that uplift and fulfil us and inspire us to bring our art to a deeper level. Using collage and painting, you’ll learn how to “capture the bliss” in your art; how to transmute inner joy and soulful inspiration into personal works of art.

You will be introduced to meditative art practices, creative visualization, techniques to awaken your sensing capacity, intuitive collage and painting, visionary art, the inspiration of dreams, mandala painting, insights in the connection between colors and feelings, and you will be initiated in a technique that will help you find visual material in your imagination through concentration on a feeling. We will also guide you how to find your personal archetypes of bliss and enlightenment.

If you're longing to unlock your soul and inner artist and infuse your artistic expression with spiritual sensitivity, this small-group retreat is exactly what you need. This retreat is open for all levels of artistic expression. Even if you have never made any art, you are welcome! Join us, immerse yourself in the connection between art & spirituality, and capture the bliss in your art!
