A Virtual Painting Retreat and Creative Wellness Immersion

Set yourself up for a lifetime of creating

A SOULFUL PAINTING RETREAT FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME

Are you ready to create large intuitive paintings with unbridled freedom?

You’re in the right place!

REUNITE offers an immersive retreat experience you can do from the comfort of your own home, and it’s now available with unlimited and immediate access.

With expert instruction, sixty gorgeous videos filmed live in my Portland studio, and the freedom to move at your own pace, you’ll experience my entire Brave Intuitive Painting process just as you would at a Bloom True retreat. Except here you can skip the hotels, rewind the videos, and wear your jammies!

For years, I’ve dreamt of finding a way to share the magic and impact of my live painting retreats with more people in more places, and this is it.

It’s time to REUNITE.

What If I’ve Never Painted?

REUNITE is perfect for first-time painters, seasoned artists looking for more freedom and expression in their work, and everyone in between. For years, I’ve taught wildly mixed groups in terms of experience level, and it always works out for everyone. So please, come as you are — and don’t be shy.

By the end of the virtual retreat, you will have experienced my entire painting process, from the very first marks to the final touches. You’ll have two large, colorful intuitive paintings, but more importantly, you will be set up for a lifetime of painting and creative expression.

“The workshop brought me to a place of possibility & purpose. It renewed my passion to practice, to put in the effort, to love what I love & let go the rest!”

WHAT’S THE MONTH OF CREATIVE WELLNESS ALL ABOUT?

Upon joining the course, you’ll gain immediate access to these unique and playful prompts. Think of them as a warm-up for the virtual retreat or as a bountiful buffet of creative care packages to unwrap and devour anytime. There are so many ways to support creativity through wellness practices, and I hope these become lifelong practices. 

Some examples of what you’ll find in the month of creative wellness:

  • Unique drawing exercises to invite more freedom, presence, and play into your art-making process.
  • Soulful writing invitations to connect more deeply to your truth and the present moment.
  • Gentle movement practices to help you feel more energized, centered and embodied.
  • Short meditations to calm your mind and help you connect to your breath and heart.
  • New music playlists to uplift and soothe your spirit.
  • My favorite morning and evening rituals to bookend your day with more creativity, mindfulness, and self-care.
  • Invitations to write, sing, dance, and create like nobody’s watching (because no one is – yay!)

Each prompt is thoughtfully designed to add a layer of depth, creativity, intentionality, and sweetness to your daily life without requiring fancy tools or a lot of extra time. In other words, it’s doable.

“An amazing experience where self care, self exploration, and creativity collide!”

– Cheryl Barker

YOUR GUIDE

Flora Bowley (pronounced bowl-lee) is a celebrated artist, author of four books, community builder, and visionary creative guide. 

Blending over thirty years of professional painting experience with her experience as a movement and breathwork facilitator, bodyworker, mindfulness practitioner, and lifelong seeker, Flora’s popular in-person retreats, online courses, and books have empowered a global network of brave painters while creating a holistic movement in the intuitive art world.

Flora believes creative expression (in all its many forms) is about moving life force energy as a way to stay clear, connected, and resilient in our ever-changing world.

Currently, Flora is co-creating and stewarding a 20-acre retreat center an hour outside of Portland, OR where you can find her singing to trees, making music playlists, and creating a glorious mess in her studio.

She still can’t believe this is her job.

Flora is also joined by her collaborator, Lynzee Lynx, as an additional guide in REUNITE.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does REUNITE take place?

REUNITE is an online course and can be accessed anywhere in the world where high-speed internet is available.

 

When does REUNITE take place? Do I need to be at my computer at a certain time?

REUNITE with lifetime access is now available to purchase anytime. You will receive immediate access. 

How do I access the course material?

REUNITERS will access the course material by logging into the classroom through the Log In Area at the top of my website. (To log in, you’ll need the username and password generated when you purchase the course). Once you’re logged in, you can access the course by clicking your name at the top of the site. If you wish to change your password at any time, please click the ‘Forgot your password’ link.

More detailed login instructions will be sent to participants through email. 

How long do I have access to REUNITE?

REUNITERS will have immediate access to all content for the lifetime of the course. (We can’t imagine it going away anytime soon, but saying “lifetime access” can be a little tricky…ie who’s lifetime? 🙂

What materials do I need to participate?

A complete list of my favorite painting supplies and suggested materials will be sent to all REUNITERS prior to the virtual painting retreat. Our recorded Materials Zoom call will also cover materials and space prep in depth and detail. 

For the month of creative wellness, you will just need a journal, your favorite tools to draw and write with, and some larger pieces of paper if you have them. 

For the virtual painting retreat, you will need (at least) two large surfaces to paint on. I suggest 30” x 30,” but larger is even better (more space = more freedom). You can paint on canvas, heavy watercolor paper (a 300-lb. paper will work great), panels (such as pieces of masonite or other wood from the hardware store), old paintings, upcycled doors, or even cardboard. This whole process is about working with what you’ve got!

Acrylic paints come in many different brands, sizes, and prices, and I will share my favorites. However, I always recommend buying paint according to your budget so you can feel free to use it with wild abandon. 

Please note that materials are not included in the cost of the course. 

How much physical space will I need?

I encourage you to paint as big as you can — ideally on canvases at least 30″ x 30″. You will need enough space to either hang your canvases on the wall, put them on an easel, or place them on a table, while also stepping away for perspective from time to time.

The actual space itself can be anywhere — in your kitchen, bedroom, spare room, garden, garage, or even in the park. Just remember, this can be a messy process, so you’ll want to protect your walls and floors with drop cloths or plastic sheets.

I will share all my tips on setting up your home painting studio and answer your questions about this in our first Zoom call.

I haven’t painted before. Is this class for me?

Yes! This class is for anyone who wants to loosen up, become more confident, and explore their creativity in a new, intuitive way.

REUNITE is perfect for first-time painters, seasoned artists looking for more freedom and expression in their work, and everyone in-between.

For years, I have taught to wildly mixed groups in terms of experience levels, and it really works out for everyone. Please come as you are. All are welcome. 

I am already a professional artist. Is this class for me?

Yes! Even if you have been painting for years, this class will offer a fresh approach, new techniques, and a unique way of looking at painting from a place of intuition, freedom, and joy.

How is REUNITE different from the Bloom True E-Course?

Great question!

The most striking difference is that REUNITE is presented in a retreat format with a group of participants, and it also offers my most current teachings.

While the basic approach to the Brave Intuitive Painting process is similar in both courses, the REUNITE virtual retreat includes sixty original videos that document a live workshop with a group of people, including one-on-one sessions with students as they move through some common challenges. The virtual retreat includes some of the same techniques you’ll find in Bloom True, along with all my latest favorite ways to share this process. 

REUNITE also includes eight replays of community Zoom calls and the Month of Creative Wellness prompts. 

If you’ve wanted to participate in an in-person workshop with me, REUNITE will give you that experience in a virtual setting. 

Do I need a high-speed Internet connection to participate in REUNITE?

Yes, all videos are shot in HD and are high quality, so you will need a fairly high-speed Internet connection to view them. The videos are a vital part of the content of this course, so please do consider this. We are not able to provide alternative viewing options for people on dial-up or on very slow connections. Therefore, please bear this in mind when registering. If you have regular broadband, you should be fine.

What if I have issues playing back video?

If you’re having trouble viewing a video in the course or anywhere else on the site:

  • Try turning off HD.
  • Web-browser issues: Some browsers may not support the Vimeo player. (Older versions of Firefox and Internet-Explorer seem to be problematic). Try launching the classroom in a different Browser: we’re finding Chrome and Safari to be the most stable.
  • Full-screen: Click on the four tiny arrows next to the Vimeo logo to watch the video in full screen. You can use the escape button to return to the post.
  • iPads & Tablets: You may need to install the free Vimeo App.

If problems persist, please send us an email at: [email protected], and we’ll get back to you asap.

Can I do REUNITE with a group?

Yes, the more the merrier. REUNITE is based on a retreat format, so if you have a group to “retreat” with, great! It is also absolutely fine to participate in REUNITE on your own.

How It Works

When one person registers for REUNITE, I invite you to share the experience with your immediate family, the people you live with, or a small group of five or fewer people who plan to do the retreat together under the same roof. I kindly ask that you purchase another spot for every additional five people who plan to join you, or for each separate household. 

Can I give this to a friend as a gift?

Yes! What a great gift to give. Please write to us at [email protected] to inquire about REUNITE Gift Certificates.

What is your refund policy?

If REUNITE does not meet your expectations, we are happy to give you a full refund within one week of your purchase. After that, there are no refunds or extensions for this course. Thank you for understanding.
