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.

✽ 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.
