Monthly Painting Day Retreats
Come home to yourself through artful presence, soulful play, and quiet transformation...

A sacred day of creativity, healing, and reconnection—just for you. 

These aren’t art classes. They’re creative sanctuaries. Spaces to exhale. To feel. To remember who you are beneath the noise. You don’t need a theme, a plan, or any art experience—just your willingness to show up, soften, and listen to what wants to be expressed.

 What to Expect 
Held in a warm, welcoming studio nestled just outside Lancelin, each painting day becomes a soulful mini retreat for your spirit. You’ll be guided through a process that’s less about “getting it right” and more about reconnecting with your creative essence. Your day includes: 
• Gentle meditation to centre and arrive in the moment 
• Guided painting sessions using intuitive, soul-led techniques 
• Tea, quiet conversation, and moments of stillness 
• All materials provided — just bring your beautiful self 
• Optional prompts or total freedom to follow your own rhythm 
 These are sacred art experiences. You’ll leave feeling more whole, grounded, and deeply nourished.

What You’ll Explore 
Through colour, movement, and creative ritual, you’ll gently… 
• Release stored emotions you didn’t know you were holding 
• Soften self-doubt and reconnect with clarity and confidence 
• Deepen trust in your intuition — your inner wise woman 
• Give voice to the stories, feelings, and visions within 
• Return home to yourself — over and over again 

 This isn’t about learning to paint. It’s about learning to listen.

By the end of this journey, you’ll feel more you—whole, spacious, grounded. 
More connected to your life. 
More able to hold both joy and challenge with compassion. 
This is a shift that ripples far beyond the canvas.



Why This Matters?


 

In a world that glorifies busyness and performance, these days are a radical return to being. To presence. To truth. To beauty as healing. 
 What you’ll receive: 
• Emotional release without overthinking or explaining 
• Nervous system regulation through sensory presence 
• Creative healing through colour, shape, and sacred mess 
• Connection to your own spirit and inner wisdom 
• A sense of peace, spaciousness, and inner clarity 

 This is deep, gentle transformation — wrapped in a paint-splattered apron.


You’re Meant to Be Here If… 

• You feel creatively blocked or disconnected and want to feel inspired again 

• You’re navigating change, grief, or emotional overwhelm 

• You long to reconnect with your creative spirit without pressure 

• You’re craving stillness, space, and soulful company 

• You know your creativity holds healing — even if you haven’t found the words yet 


 You don’t need to be an “artist” to join us. You only need to bring your whole-hearted self.

No Artistic Experience Needed You do not need to be “good at art” to join this day. This is a gentle, nurturing process. Many women who come to these sessions haven’t painted since childhood—but walk away feeling profoundly shifted and surprised by what they created.  You are welcome exactly as you are.

‘The creative experience was awesome. I didn’t expect to learn so much about myself through art in such a short time.

Alison R

It was more than just an art class. It was great head therapy which unlocked hidden thoughts, emotions and possibilities.

Libby

This became so much more than just painting. I learnt to trust myself, silence my inner critic and just be. And by being & trusting the process, my painting sprang to life

Hi, I’m Gisela—creative counsellor, intuitive guide, and founder of The Creativity Counsellor. With over 20 years’ experience in arts education, counselling, art therapy, and healing modalities, I help women move from overwhelm and emotional stagnation to clarity, calm, and self-trust.


 I began this work because I knew what it felt like to live with quiet discontent—feeling stuck, disconnected, and like life was passing me by. 


Now, I guide others through gentle, art-based processes that reconnect them with their inner wisdom and sense of purpose.


 My gift is seeing the real you—beneath the roles and expectations—and creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported to grow. 


 I’m honoured to walk beside women as they release what no longer serves them and create lives rooted in peace, purpose, and authenticity.
