THE PROGRAM
Art: we use it as a metaphor and as a means of communication. Art materials and the creative process are tools that you can use in many ways:
✽ to express yourself,
✽ to explore your emotions, and your thinking,
✽ to increase what we want to be increased,
✽ to resolve conflicts and struggles
There's more to art than simply “drawing your feelings” – art can work wonders in your life.
The creative process through art making can be enlightening, enriching and pleasurable. And the best part is, you don’t have to be an artist to benefit from art.
The process of making art, exploring the art visually, and talking about it with an artist can promote personal growth.
Art therapy facilitates change and provides coping skills, often with more clarity than words alone.
Our setting provides a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to express yourself through a variety of art media.
Sometimes the art making will be spontaneous and other times it will be directed by a facilitator. Always the emphasis is on empowering YOU to self-interpret your non-verbal expression, with the guidance of your coaches.
This unique inspirational transformation experience will be held on the island of Mallorca, home to our special guest: well known artist Francesca Marti. During our retreat, she will introduce us to her art work and life. We will work at her atelier, surrounded by the sweet scent of orange and almond trees.

Kaleidoscope Retreats:
The Experience of YOUR Lifetime…
You will keep Kaleidoscope in your heart and mind after our time together ends.
Unlike other programs that end when the last session is over, Kaleidoscope is designed to leave you with a plan, and more importantly, a community and mastermind of inspiring, amazing women to support you.
We guess you could say the kaleidoscope won’t stop turning when you leave the retreat! What is set in motion during our four days together will be continued long after.
✽ You’ll return home with a roadmap that is uniquely yours.
✽ You’ll be able to call upon a collective of women who understand your experience and can offer guidance, support, encouragement and a listening ear when you need it most.
✽ You’ll be equipped to let your “best self” shine with the photos from your personal photo shoot; photos that you can use on social media, on your website, or in your personal brand to make the best first impression.
✽ You will have access to a private Facebook group so you can easily stay connected to your retreat companions and keep the momentum going.
✽ You’ll even learn how to share your experience and your story with others, so they can enthusiastically and lovingly keep you accountable and committed as you return to the hustle and bustle of your regular life. . . a life that now feels like a colourful tapestry of exciting possibilities woven just for you.
