Creative Hearts Art Retreats are powerful, transformational, life-enriching experiences. Our retreats provide an inspirational artistic adventure where renowned prophetic artist Wendy Manzo and creative coach Andy Hamish Smith will take you on a journey to understand your intuitive process and develop your innate talents. It’s more than art! This is a creative self-development course. We aim to provide you with much more than an art class in a beautiful relaxing atmosphere, as lovely as that is, but also give you a greater sense of who you are, equipped with skills for lifelong creative adventures. Regardless of where you are in your art journey when you come away from the bustling crowds and join us for a Creative Hearts Art Retreat in one of the world’s most beautiful tranquil locations, you will uncover your creative potential. Our aim is to refresh you from all cares of the everyday in order to release the real you. Relaxed. Restored. Reconnected. This retreat includes two nights of luxury accommodation (location TBA), blissful morning breakfasts, five sessions of ‘Creative Breakthrough and Release’, over one evening 'welcome session' and two workshop days. These are practical and interactive prophetic art workshop sessions where you will explore working directly from your imagination and learn how to develop your own language of creativity. There are practical-hands-on, theoretical, and reflective components in these sessions. Your retreat experience will birth renewed trust in intuition and spontaneity, and release freedom in your painting. You'll also have time to paint freely and relaxation time. Art materials are provided, and you will take your paintings home. (For your luggage or postal purposes, canvases measure 60cm x 60cm.) We suggest adding a weekend before or extra time after your retreat at one of the many awesome Gold Coast venues to fully enjoy the Gold Coast experience. Take the opportunity to visit tourist favourites (such as the cafe beach scene from Main Beach to Mermaid Beach-Miami, Springbrook world heritage rainforest, snorkelling off Palm Beach, eat-street night-life at Surfers Paradise, kayaking to Stradbroke Island, organic markets at Burleigh Beach, or visit a theme park).
