May 1-3, Sacred Art Retreat, Nadine Crescenzi, $550 Private, $450 Shared, $375 Commuter
Nadine Crescenzi is an art therapist whose work is rooted in the belief that creativity is a powerful pathway to healing, self-discovery, soul connection and emotional freedom. With a gentle presence and intuitive approach, Nadine guides individuals through the artistic process helping connect to one's inner wisdom, releasing tension and reconnect the body, mind, heart, and spirit. Together with Loretto Maryholme, Nadine invites you into a sacred art retreat where artistic expression becomes a contemplative pathway inward—offering restoration, and a renewed sense of presence. Throughout our time together, you will be guided through reflective practices, mindful creations, and shared moments of silence and connection. As you create, reflect, write, or simply observe, you’ll be encouraged to listen closely to the gentle whispers of your heart, create space for your feelings, and believe in the creative potential to transform. May this retreat offer you clarity, restoration, and a renewed sense of presence. May it open spaciousness within your body, potential in your mind, harmony in your heart, and joy in your spirit and may each moment of creativity offer you the possibility of transformation — your journey inward begins here.

Private Retreats
A private retreat, minimum 2 nights, may be booked throughout the year, depending on availability of accommodation. You are responsible for your own meals. You will set your agenda & schedule and enjoy a posture of silence & prayer throughout your stay. If the experience of a private retreat is new for you, we suggest that you meet with a spiritual director at least once during your stay.
Register for private retreats by emailing: [email protected]
