“The retreat experience was exactly what I needed on so many levels and soul layers. I broke through so many mental barriers and fears in the little gentle, caring community of art sisters. I’m so grateful to have had such a supportive teacher who reminded me to relax and simply trust the process, boosting my confidence with each layer.” – Christine D.

Your creative time with Katrina:
Your creative journey will blend soulful painting sessions, grounding nature meditations, yoga every other day, and healing ceremonies with cultural experiences led by Lunita Retreats. Enjoy fun excursions, beach time, and plenty of free moments to relax by the pool, take nature walks, meditate, and rejuvenate at your own pace.
For Katrina’s art projects, we’ll begin with opening meditations to ground ourselves and connect with Mother Earth, awakening our innate creativity.
I’ll guide you through my intuitive mixed media painting techniques, helping you release control, heal your inner child, and paint from the depths of your soul.
Inspired by nature, we’ll paint our own rewilding journey, connect with the ancient spirits of the land, and experience the healing embrace of Mother Earth.
We’ll bring our sketchbooks along as we explore breathtaking sacred nature sites and pristine white-sand beaches, diving into crystal-clear waters to gather inspiration from the beauty all around us.
“I loved the design of Katrina’s retreats, the mix of self-care, painting, fun excursions, and the special people who made it all happen. I also appreciated Katrina’s quick responses on our suggestions and incorporating them. I loved learning the numerous facts that gave me a working foundation in my art, and the joy of being in the experience of painting, the silence, and camaraderie of the group.” -Mary
