Each morning you may choose to join a Meditation and Yoga session and/or you may take an early morning walk on the beach before having a delicious breakfast.
General Schedule
The sun-rises in this area are vibrant and as the ocean and land critters awaken you can feel the energy of life all around you. This is a great time of the day to either talk a leisurely walk, or join in the Yoga sessions that are offered each morning.
During the week you will have lots of time to learn amazing and practical information from Amy that you can use to enhance your artistic skills and enrich your life as well as ample time for exciting adventures, playful activities, sharing time with others and time to relax and absorb the beauty of this splendid tropical paradise.

Sunday: Arrivals, Introductions & Welcome Dinner
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday:
A very special aspect of this retreat is that everything you do during the week is related and interwoven. There is not a separation between the art workshop and any of the activities. For example: when you absorb the beauty of the sunrise, your experience is brought into the workshop; if you choose to go zip-lining, the photos and eye-memories you have can be brought into your paintings, when you have a tasty meal, the colors and textures of the food are aspects of the art experience.
Each of these days begin with an optional Yoga session followed by breakfast.
After breakfast, Amy will deliver her sessions in the morning from approximately 9am – 12 am. You will have a two hour break for lunch followed by Amy’s sessions in the afternoon around 2pm – 5pm. If you haven’t looked at the variety of activities and approaches that Amy will present during her sessions, you may get a taste of them by reading about them on the OVERVIEW page.
Sunsets in this area are phenomenol, so we will break with plenty of time for you to capture their beauty on the beach.
