Women's 3 x day Residential Art Retreat in Devon

Celebrate the arrival of British Summer Time with a 3-day art retreat designed exclusively for women. This retreat is a soulful opportunity to reconnect with nature, nurture your creativity, and embrace the beauty of the season in a supportive and inspiring environment.

Whether you’re an experienced artist or simply looking to explore your creative side, this weekend is for you.

What’s Included:

• Workshops & Activities: Explore various art mediums such as painting, pottery, creative writing, mono printing, charcoal drawing and nature-inspired crafts, guided by experienced artists.

• Nature Walks & Reflection: Immerse yourself in the rolling Devon countryside with guided walks, outdoor and mindful practices.

• Relaxation & Connection: Time to unwind with yoga nidra, meditation, soundbath and evenings with like-minded women.

Who is this for?

This retreat welcomes women of all artistic abilities—from beginners to seasoned creators. Come solo, with your mum, or bring a friend!

Here are just a few things you can look forward to on the retreat:

• The holistic, empathetic sessions are tailored to meet individual needs and promote personal growth.
• The beautiful, spacious surroundings encourage relaxation and creativity.
• Enjoy informal, evening gatherings where participants can laugh, connect, relax, and unwind.
• Delicious home-cooked meals create a warm, nurturing environment, and private rooms offer a comfortable place to rest and sleep.
• A safe, supportive space to explore new artistic techniques or fresh perspectives.

This retreat is ideal for rejuvenation, self-expression, and connecting with others through art.

Taking inspiration from the stunning landscape surrounding the retreat centre, you will join some of South Devon's finest women artists as they guide you through a series of hands-on creative workshops over a 2 x night, 3 x day period.

You will be encouraged and empowered to create artwork incorporating your own unique ways of self-expression. You will have the option to complete all or some of the workshops (All of the art workshops will be between approx. 2 - 3 hours long).

You can enjoy the facilities on-site each evening after a delicious homemade meal. However, we highly recommend our beautiful sound bath healing session on Sunday evening to soothe your soul before retiring to your room. The choice will be yours.

The hands-on workshops for this retreat will focus on your responses to nature and our intergenerational responses to our environment. The expert tuition by highly knowledgeable and experienced facilitators who are also internationally recognized artists will inspire you to create artwork in the following genres: Intuitive Painting, Mono Printing, Textile Art, Creative Writing and Ceramics.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

All the art workshops and wellness activities will be conducted onsite in various buildings. Retreat attendees are welcome to explore the property’s extensive grounds and, whilst attending the retreat, use the leisure facilities on site.
