Unlock Your Creative Self: See What’s in Store.
I want you to imagine something.
You pick up a paintbrush, and instead of that familiar voice saying, "You're not an artist," the first feeling that washes over you is pure, unbridled joy.
A feeling that reconnects you to something essential inside yourself. That makes you believe creating something beautiful isn't just possible for "talented people"—it's already within you, waiting to emerge.
What if your relationship with creativity didn't feel like a mountain of "not good enough" that you have to climb, but a garden of possibility you're excited to explore?
And if you're thinking, "Yeah, right. That's not possible for me," … I get it. There was a long time I didn't think I'd ever create without judgment, either.
Maybe you feel blocked by perfectionism, intimidated by blank canvases, or just stuck in the belief that you "missed your chance" to be creative, watching others express themselves while your own creativity remains locked away.
That's exactly why I created the Cayssalie Creative Breakthrough Retreat.
I had to learn how to flip a switch in my mind about what it means to be "artistic." And once I did? Everything changed.
Today, I've created the perfect space to help you do the same and make creative freedom your new reality.
I designed this retreat based on my own journey. It comes from decades as a makeup artist, followed by a terrifying return to painting at age 53.
And it's the approach I wish someone had offered me when I was struggling.
Cayssalie is one of my favourite places on this planet because time seems to slow down when you're here.
This retreat doesn't just talk about creativity with fancy techniques; it makes you creative again.
It's a three-day immersion in a stunning garden setting, an intimate experience limited to just two participants, and a journey that combines acrylic painting, mixed media exploration, and sound meditation.
And Cayssalie is here to get you out of your head and into your creative life.
If you think you need extraordinary talent, years of training, or some kind of divine artistic blessing before you start painting, I'm here to flip that idea on its head and show you what works instead.
Experience The Creative Breakthrough Retreat: Rediscover Your Artistic Voice
What You'll Experience in Three Transformative Days
From the moment you arrive on Thursday afternoon, you'll enter a judgment-free zone where your creative expression is valued simply because it's yours.
Day 1: Permission We begin by dismantling the internal critic that's been silencing your creativity. Through carefully designed exercises, you'll reconnect with the joy of creating without judgment—just as you did as a child.
Day 2: Exploration Dive into acrylic painting and mixed media with complete freedom to experiment. No "mistakes," only discoveries. Evening reflection circles deepen your understanding of your creative process.
Day 3: Integration Building on your newfound permission and exploration, we'll work on bringing your unique voice forward. The retreat culminates in a celebration of each person's creative journey.
Throughout the experience, immersive sound meditation sessions help quiet the analytical mind and access your intuitive creative centers.
Is This Your Moment?
The Cayssalie Creative Breakthrough Retreat is perfect for you if you've ever:
Told yourself "I'm not the creative type"
Felt drawn to art supplies but afraid to use them
Wondered what might emerge if you gave yourself permission
Longed for a different kind of getaway that leaves you with more than just photos
No artistic experience is necessary. In fact, sometimes having no experience can be an advantage—fewer preconceptions to overcome.

"The intimate setting made all the difference. No competition, no comparison—just two friends discovering our creativity together." — Samantha
