Champers & Canvas Retreat

Champers & Canvas Retreat

Champers and Canvas is all about taking time for yourself and letting someone else do all the work, so you can unwind and please yourself…although you just might create some inspired artwork while you are at it. If you need some fresh air, fresh veggies from the garden, relaxation and a dose of creativity, then come, find your inner child. It’s is all about relaxing, de-stressing and taking home some artwork you have created, which you can hang in your home.     I’ve made it easy…templates, instructions, paint, canvas, brushes, water…all supplied. Wine? Well WHY not? We’re not licensed, but you are free to bring your own… I’ve got plenty of glasses and great food. What’s it all about? It’s about having two nights away from the usual hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s about meeting new people or sharing the fun with your friends or work colleagues, in a non-threatening environment. It’s about being creative and relaxed, regardless of any limitations, in a stress free, easy and relaxed way, while enjoying a glass or two, eating good food and making new friends. It’s about swimming in the ocean, walking along the beach or reading a great book while enjoying the ambience. It’s about going home totally relaxed and revitalized. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about having fun. The building blocks of self-esteem, energy and productivity come from spending time creatively revitalizing….do not fear mistakes for there are none.   “To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow”   What’s included? Two night’s shared accommodation in one...
