Retreats

Katrina’s art retreat in Umbria was life changing for me in so many ways.

I have never painted before, so was a little nervous how it would all turn out.

I absolutely loved every minute of it and painting is definitely in my life to stay.

Everything was magical about this retreat, the place, the group and all we achieved together.

Katrina is a beautiful, loving and friendly soul, nothing is too much trouble for her.

Thank you Katrina and Annie for the most wonderful time

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.

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.

Attending Katrina’s art retreat was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I felt wrapped in a sense of calm, warmth, and joy—largely thanks to Katrina herself. She is truly like a fairy: radiant, comforting, and full of light. Her presence made the entire experience feel safe, welcoming, and deeply inspiring.

Katrina has a rare gift—not only as a talented artist but as a kind, gentle soul who makes everyone around her feel seen, supported, and free to express themselves. From the beginning, it felt like being with a close friend—someone who is genuinely caring, encouraging, and completely free of judgment. Watching Katrina in her element—sketching, painting, and quietly weaving her magic—was a privilege. Her passion and creativity are infectious, and she shares them so generously.

The group of women I met at the retreat were equally wonderful. There was an immediate sense of connection, and I left having made beautiful new friendships that I’ll always treasure.

The setting could not have been more perfect: a serene resort tucked away in nature, offering the ideal environment to unwind, create, and connect. We had the whole place to ourselves, the food was absolutely delicious, and every outing and activity was thoughtfully curated and full of joy.

This retreat exceeded every expectation I had. It’s difficult to describe the feeling it left me with—except to say it was truly magical. Everything flowed naturally, beautifully, and with so much heart. I’m deeply grateful for the experience and can’t wait to return for another retreat with Katrina and my new friends.

I travelled all the way from Melbourne, Australia, to join Katrina’s Whispers of Enchantment retreat at the breathtaking La Melosa Resort in Tuscany and it was truly one of the most transformative experiences of my life.

Katrina is a radiant soul, warm, kind, and endlessly generous. Her gentle guidance and extraordinary talent invite everyone, regardless of experience, to take bold leaps in creativity. Through her teaching, I not only rediscovered my artistic intuition, but something shifted in me on a personal level as well. I will be forever grateful?.

The retreat was filled with unforgettable moments: painting under Tuscany’s golden light, deep soul connections with beautiful people from around the world, a winery Tour and discovering beautiful Siena and even our own private Italian opera evening, an experience I will never forget.

Katrina’s own artworks are nothing short of magnificent, and her ability to ignite creativity in her students is truly limitless. Her patience, compassion, and attention to every detail made this retreat feel like a dream.

She really is an earth angel, deeply intuitive, thoughtful, and inspiring. Her journey and unwavering commitment to living a life of purpose have touched me deeply. She embodies light, love, and creative freedom. I feel honoured and blessed to have crossed paths with her.

Katrina’s jewellery, is now worn with love and every time I look at it, I feel a sense of peace, protection, calm, joy, and heartfelt connection sent from my husband. It radiates the same magic she brings into the world.

This retreat was the perfect balance of art, rest, connection, and wonder. I came away with lifelong memories, wonderful new friendships, and a heart full of gratitude.

I received my beautifully packaged Mystic Jewelry, and I can’t describe how wonderful it is. Atlantisite and Super Seven are stunningly mounted.

I love all the little details, the stars, the moon.

The jewelry came with so many meaningful gifts. I will always keep them as treasures.

Thank you so so much?
