Much more than just painting retreats, these are reunions with your intuitive heart wisdom, unbridled freedom, adventurous spirit, and authentic expression.
If you’re seeking to reignite your creative spark and nurture the parts of yourself that make you feel the most alive, these retreats offer a soulful blend of hands-on intuitive art practices, gentle authentic movement, free-form writing, breathwork, and community connections.
Think of them as a magical life reboot.
No art experience is necessary. Please come as you are. These are judgement-free zones.

“Not only has Flora taught me how to put color on a canvas, but she’s also taught me so many lessons about life: how to let go of what I *think* I need, how to take big, scary risks, and how to stay present and be open to what life might bring me. Her enchanting process is a gift to any creative who yearns for more, and it will leave you feeling both grounded in your present and fired up for what’s to come.”
-Tiffany Han
“The best art experience I’ve ever had.”
– Bobby McPherson
“I had no idea that four days could hold so much opportunity for transformation, exploration, new experiences, and power. I’ve stepped far outside my comfort zone, but I’ve found myself home.”
-Kristen Heinlein
I feel beautifully stretched — I arrived overwhelmed a little nervous. I ended up feeling bright, happy and inspired. I transformed without even having that as an intention, and I love that even more. Flora’s style is open, and there is an ease that oozes out of her. She made it feel so easy. I could gush for hours. Thank you for such a beautiful experience. I can’t wait for my next retreat!
– Brenda Carolan
“This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is rare to find a teacher who can connect with others in such a powerful and inspiring way. I learned as much by observing the demos as I did through exploration on my own.”
-Rachel Relin
“I came to this class knowing that I was going to be pushing my boundaries and was both nervous and excited. I felt that the space was so safe and supportive. Flora has such strong, confident, and encouraging energy, that I dropped the nerves pretty fast. I got so much that I wasn’t even expecting.”
-Dona Bumgarner
“Step one: sign up for Flora Bowley’s intuitive painting workshop.
Step two: realize that everything Flora teaches is a heart lesson for life.
Step three: have some great epiphanies and be changed forever.
Step four: because of the experience, everyone around changes as well — a ripple effect.”
-Teresa Remple
