Art and Wellness Retreat

Join us for painting, walks in nature, food, wine and laughter over two days



48 hours Class size 5 to 10     label $430

Join Gabriela Himstedt for a relaxing weekend in the beautiful Margaret River region. During this art and wellness retreat, you can immerse yourself in nature and unwind at our private bush block.

During the retreat, Gabriela will guide you through a series of fun, playful exercises, encouraging you to become an explorer of possibilities. She will share tips and techniques on creating vibrant, expressive, colourful paintings using acrylics, ink and pastels. She will gently guide you into your own personal creative flow and guide you through the elements of design, colour and composition in both figurative and abstract works.

You will explore free-form styles intuitively and organically with small paintings, thereafter transforming your favourite painting onto a larger canvas as your final masterpiece. Paint freely, wholeheartedly and spontaneously with an open mind!

Along with relaxing art classes, you will also enjoy delicious, freshly cooked meals, two yoga sessions, a complete camping set up and luxury toilet and shower facilities.

This is an artistic getaway like no other and a wonderful way to leave the city and your worries behind!

Please note:

  • We will be meeting on March 15 at 2 pm to go over everything before the retreat.
  • We will be camping at a private property and you can use the bathroom/toilet in the house. The camping set up will be next to the house.
  • We will be outside most of the time but can paint inside if the weather requires us to.
  • We will be driving in convoy, therefore if you are unable to start at the stated time or wish to leave earlier please let Gabriela know.
