Artist-Led Creative Retreats & Healing Art Journeys

Two Paths to Creativity

I design my retreats to serve two distinct needs. The first is for the traveler who wants to engage with a new culture through a creative lens. These international tours, like my recent Vietnam adventure, are about sketching in local cafes, visiting heritage sites, and capturing the energy of a place in your sketchbook. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the experience.

The second path is the domestic wellness retreat. These are curated for those who need to slow down and breathe. Held in nature-focused resorts across India, these 3-day sessions are less about sightseeing and more about introspection. We combine guided meditation with art therapy, using unconventional mediums to release stress.

My Approach to Art Therapy

As someone who transitioned from a clinical background to full-time art, I treat these retreats with the same care I once gave my patients. I don't believe in art snobbery. If you want to paint, you belong here. We use:

• Unconventional Canvases: We move beyond the standard easel to paint on T-shirts, tote bags, and found objects.
• Nature-Based Inspiration: We utilize the environment—riverbanks, forests, and quiet streets—as our mood board.
• Guided Release: I facilitate visualization exercises that help you identify what you need to express before you ever pick up a brush.

Everything is included—supplies, meals, and accommodation—so you can arrive with just your curiosity.
