Creative Hearts Art 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 art! This is a creative self-development course. We aim to provide you with much more than an art techniques class in a beautiful relaxing atmosphere, as lovely as that is, but also give you a greater sense of who you are, equipped with skills for lifelong creative adventures.
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 Retreat in one of the world’s most beautiful tranquil locations, you will uncover your God-given potential.
Our aim is to refresh you from all cares of the everyday in order to release the real you. Relaxed. Restored. Reconnected.
Your encounter includes two days of ‘Creative Breakthrough and Release’, a set of practical and interactive prophetic art workshop sessions where you will explore working directly from your imagination and learn how to develop your own language of creativity. You'll also have a free day to fully process, paint, think, create, and revive.
We suggest adding a weekend before or after your retreat at one of the many awesome hotels and venues to fully enjoy the Bali experience and visit tourist favourites (such as Tanah Lot, Ubud, Kuta markets) and Bali ministries (such as Children's homes and education centres, by prior arrangement only).
Your retreat experience will birth renewed trust in intuition and spontaneity, and release freedom in your painting.

Code of Conduct:
The course is highly experiential and practice-based. Participants may be exposed to experiences, memories, and subconscious processes that may evoke a variety of emotions and offer opportunities for self-discovery and revelation. We maintain an environment safe for each participant and aim for our time together to be fun and a happy experience for all. You will be required to maintain a safe place for yourself and your fellow artists throughout the duration. Please note that anyone who behaves in a disrespectful or disruptive manner will be asked to leave with no refund or rescheduling.
Photography or video within the Workshop by participants is not permitted, other than of your own work.
Please also be aware that it is your responsibility to leave your workspace beautifully clean and paint-free. We have allowed time within your workshop schedule to set up, pack up and clean up. We like to leave our venue hosts with a GOOD impression of art and artists!
