The Weekend Getaway Retreat – A Short Escape for the Creative Soul
Sometimes all it takes is a weekend to reset. The Weekend Getaway Retreat invites you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your creativity in a setting where time slows down. Over three days, you’ll immerse yourself in watercolour painting through a series of guided workshops – complemented by gentle yoga, wholesome meals, and plenty of space for creativity and relaxation.
Every activity is optional, and the studio is always open to work on your projects or try out different media and materials. Whether painting, exploring Hoi An, or simply unwinding by the pool or the beach, this weekend offers the perfect blend of creativity, culture, and calm.
What Makes This Retreat Special:
- A short but deeply refreshing escape – designed for those who want to create, explore, and recharge without committing to a full week
- 3 watercolour workshops – explore colour, composition, and various techniques (suitable for all levels)
- 24/7 studio access – create freely, whenever inspiration strikes, with a full range of art materials provided (brushes, various paints, papers, and more)
- A blend of wellness and inspiration – start the day with gentle yoga and enjoy nourishing, flavourful meals
- Moments of calm and rest – unwind by the pool, indulge in a massage, or find stillness in the garden
- Authentic local connection – experience the soul of Hoi An through its food, nature, and warm community, just minutes from both the old town and the beach.
Who is this retreat for?
- For anyone craving a creative pause – whether you’re returning to art, eager to explore new techniques, or simply seeking an inspiring weekend away. Ideal for those who value authentic experiences, cultural connection, and time to create or unwind at their own pace.
Please note: This retreat is intended for adults and young adults aged 16 and above, in order to maintain a calm and inspiring atmosphere.
