Join us on beautiful Vancouver Island for a yummy, get-away designed to nourish our creative souls.
Nestled on the west coast, just off the grid you’ll find magical Craidelonna – a private paradise with spectacular oceanfront views, lots of cozy corners, hot tubs, a wood-fired sauna, beautiful wildflower gardens, and healing forests. We’ll tuck in, come together to paint in the mornings, explore in the afternoons (or laze about in a hammock if that’s what you need most) and gather around a beautiful table in the evenings. Paint will fly, there will be plenty of deliciously healthy food; good music; tasty spirits and stories; and gentle yoga with the lovely Rachel Reid. Just what your heart desires… join us.
The Laura Harris Painting Retreat on Vancouver Island includes 3 nights accommodation, 2 half days of painting instruction, daily yoga classes, and most meals.
NO PAINTING EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY.
Inspired, connected, generous and intuitive, Laura Harris has motivated countless people to rewrite their stories and honour their creative calling. Offered to beginners and non-beginners alike, Laura will share her unique approach to painting, with a focus on manifesting inspiration and personal expression.
With a long list of successful exhibits that span 20 years and collectors worldwide, Laura’s paintings are described as beautifully imperfect. Often large in scale with strikingly bold colours and texture, each piece offers discovery. Her process is rooted in memory and imagination, and her emotions are palpable. When she’s at work, Harris becomes utterly engrossed in her practice. It’s a fully physical task with music turned up loud and paint flying. Laura applies the same love and abandon to all other areas of her life.
