The deep true you
It’s easy to get caught in the treadmill of things to be done and lose touch with the core creativity that is natural to your spirit. If you’ve lost the richness of the life of an artist or writer, and no longer live in spontaneous curiosity, discovery and play, and you’ve become exposed to stress, anxiety, and other afflictions that burden your delight in daily life, perhaps it is time to make a creative escape and reconnect with the deep true you. “Only the genuine true you creates art that impacts.”
Or perhaps you simply want to retreat to a quiet beautiful place to explore and nurture your creative gifts, or take the time to rekindle a longing to create what has been waiting patiently for you to ‘do something for yourself’.
Regardless of where you are in your creative journey, when you come away from the bustling crowds and join us for a Creative Hearts Art or Writing Retreat in one of the world’s most beautiful tranquil locations, whether it is in Bali, (5-star Villas), Port Douglas (Nth Qld tropical rainforest), or Gold Coast (hidden beachside-hinterland), you will uncover your God-given creative potential.
No experience needed
When it comes to your artistic gifts, whether you are a beginner, a seasoned artist, or you have never painted before, you will be empowered with new insights, renewed confidence, and trust in your ability to paint directly from your spirit. You will discover and conquer your personal challenges to pure expression.
Your creativity will surprise you, as we focus on the mysterious process of transforming inspirational ideas into tangible paintings. You will be enriched and strengthened to release joy and freedom into your art and other aspects of your life. Taking this ‘time out’ for yourself will open your passion, encourage a deeper sense of possibilities, and bring you more wonder, enthusiasm and childlike joy.
Whether you are mastering words or conquering blocks, whether you’re at the beginning of the writer’s road or a seasoned wordsmith, you will be empowered by the inspired flow and discovery of writing with the Spirit.
Your creativity will flourish as you truly relax away from the usual distractions. Our intimate small groups of 4 – 8 ensure supportive friendship and personal professional guidance, freely given throughout this unforgettable time.
The value for the money you’re investing in yourself is ultimately more productive than a luxury holiday or group retreat, as we delve into what is really going on within your own creative mind.
Enjoy the difference
Creative Hearts Retreats are powerful, transformational, life-enriching experiences. Our retreats provide an inspirational artistic adventure where renown 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 meets the eye! We aim to provide you with much more than an art or writing class transported to a beautiful relaxing atmosphere, but also to ensure you return home with a greater sense of who you are, equipped with skills for a lifelong creative journey. Maybe you’ve never had the chance to explore your creative side and you don’t know where to start.
We create personalized retreat sessions with healing and empowering experiences that are completely focused on your particular needs and distinctive journey. We do not use a cookie-cutter one-size-fits-all approach. Your desires and needs are unique at this point of time in your life, and since our focus is on you, in a private oasis, your Creative Hearts retreat experience is more impacting than a standard retreat, resulting in positive and long-lasting changes.
