RETREAT YOURSELF
For 7-nights and 8 days aboard our floating villa (the luxury motor yacht, Riva). Together, we'll explore Croatia’s jaw-dropping Dalmatian coastline, sip incredible wines, explore castles, savor seafood, play in the water and dive headfirst into creativity, connection, and the Mediterranean way of life.
We’ll also paint, photograph, sip, sketch and sail our way through 1400 years of history.

"Wow. You two did an amazing job making a very creative and festive retreat. We all had a wonderful time! We ate, laughed, danced, sang, wrote, drew, painted, photographed, cooked, shared and just plain LIVED. Thank you for putting together this retreat. It was such a gift!" -Pam, Art of Life retreat guest
"The location, the people, the hosts and the food were all sensational.
You are both truly unique and talented leaders. It is a gift for anyone who has the opportunity to be in your presences at one of your retreats.
Thank you for giving us time and space to expore, paint, take photowalks, drink wine and eat way too much food. I can't wait to do it, again, on another one of your retreats." -Katy M.
Your North Star
For eons sailors have used the stars above to find their way. This retreat is just that. It’s more than just navigating the coastline—it’s about you finding your own personal North star especially if that internal star feels a little dim, lately.
Whether you’re reconnecting with your creativity, rediscovering joy, or simply following a tug toward adventure (or Jason Mamoa’s hangouts!), this voyage promises to align you with what matters most. YOU!
find your fjaka
THE DALMATIAN SECRET TO BLISS
In Croatia, there’s a word for that dreamy, sun-soaked state of pure ease: fjaka. It’s a full-body sigh, a soul-deep exhale, the ultimate permission to just be.
Think of it as the Croatian cousin to il dolce far niente—the sweetness of doing nothing—but with a salty sea breeze and zero guilt. Some call it the Mediterranean version of mindfulness. We call it bliss.
Mornings with yoga on a sun-dappled deck. Afternoons lounging by the sea. Evenings of laughter under the stars. By the end of the week, you won’t just know fjaka—you’ll be fjaka. You won't fjaking believe you've been missing out on this your whole life!
"5 stars! Would highly recommend!
I have had so much fun, laughed so hard, and I learned so much about the world and myself. I made new friends, learned how to tap back into my creative self that's been long dormant and was welcomed with such warmth.
I can now paint in gouache, curse in Italian and know how to look for 3 good things. And I can't wait for your next retreat." - Sue
creativity, connection, camaraderie
AND CROATIA!
Not only will you be immersed in all things creativity, cuisine, culture, camaraderie, and connection, but there will be time for just relaxing.
Our retreats aren’t about how artistic or creative you are (not even a little), how many activities we can pack into a week (spoiler: a lot, but in a good way), or how mind-blowingly good the food is (it is delicious, bring your stretchy pants), this retreat is about being fully awake and alive to all the best parts of life!
Come join us in Croatia—you won’t believe what you’ve been missing.
Book now before we sell out this extraordinary 7-night/8-day Croatia retreat.
