Wonderful retreat experience in Sardinia

17 September 2026

I just returned from a most magical week on the island of Sardinia with Katrina and an amazing group of ladies. Katrina is an expert planner of these retreats incorporation art sessions as well as exploring the local beauty to incorporate into our paintings and experiences. While here we went sailing, went to the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen, wandered among ancient t Neolithic ruins, experienced sound healing, had a late night adventure at a local town looking for gelato and grew in my understanding of watercolor skills. New friendships are made and these retreats always leave you eager for the next one. Katrina is a genuine treasure.

Soul Rewilding in Mexico Retreat

23 February 2026

This was a very powerful experience. Katrina is a wonderful and patient teacher. I learned a lot and there is definitely an advantage to learning art techniques in person versus online. I had been looking forward to this retreat for at least a year and was not disappointed. The spiritual ceremonial immersion and art lessons that reinforced the experiences made it all the more magical. I came home feeling that my soul did undergo a rewilding and it has no interest in being tamed again. Thank you, Katrina, for hosting this and I’m so blessed to have met you. You are a beautiful soul!

Magic in Mexico

11 February 2026

This was my first retreat with Katrina and my first art retreat abroad. She provided very thorough instruction and introduced me to new techniques and art materials. As a spiritual person, I am always looking to connect within and with my environment. Katrina’s retreat provided multiple opportunities throughout to get us out of our minds and creating from the heart. Katrina herself is a very conscientious leader, empathic, and a beautiful soul. I would absolutely attend another retreat with her in the future and highly recommend her retreats for spiritual creatives.

Ancient mystics retreat Umbria

18 September 2025

I have always loved to follow Katrina on her online offerings. Her in person workshops always appeared mystical and somehow unattainable. As she paired up with annie Hamman, the opportunity could not be seized. Katrina is an amazing host. She made me feel welcome and inspired since the first instant that she walked to the bus to welcome us. Her generosity and giving nature spills like a spring of goodness and is what I appreciated mostly. Her amazing inspiring no shaming teaching skills and patience provided a delightful painting experience. Last but not least, her choice of venue for the experience and the simple luxury of a private monastery for us to dive into the beauty of the hills of Umbria was a gift that will remain in my memory forever. Thank you Katrina.

Pure magic

16 September 2025

Wonderful experience surrounded by the most beautiful sceneries.

Katrina chooses the most amazing places and takes care of every detail.

The painting experience is magical, she lead us to excede our own expectations and use our brushes as magic wands, as she always does. She is a kind teacher and a kind soul.

This is my second retreat with her, and I hope to show up again soon.
