Testimonials from our previous retreats:
“Surrounded by the beauty of Carmel, California the magical workshop at Suite Nirvana went beyond my expectations! Every detail, including deliciously prepared organic meals, works-spaces, and our outings, were well thought out, organized and presented in an artful manner.
Each artist had enough well lit studio space for art supplies and Art Making. To help inform and inspire our art we had individual and group time(s) to explore the beach, town, and other local attractions.
There was a wide variety of art making abilities, experiences, and styles. Optional individual critiques were steeped in positive affirmations. This professionally facilitated workshop was a safe haven, allowing our authentic selves to freely emerge.”
“The Sward Sisters are the ultimate dream team!. Cheryl, Charlene and Susan are extraordinarily inspiring artists, and they know how to create a warm, inviting creative retreat experience. I attended their 4 day workshop in California, and was impressed how much preparation, care and thought went into the daily agendas. We enjoyed excursions in nature, time to explore and develop our own artwork, delicious lunches, and a relaxing glass of wine at the end of day to debrief and relax in sisterhood. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!”
