The ART+SOUL retreat focuses on the art of creation to allow you to let go of your life's stressors for a weekend, and get in touch with your creative side. This retreat will feature a variety of media that will encourage you to learn the basics through a collection of creative workshops. Kristin offers creative lessons that will be a balm for the soul as you lean into the fear of letting go of expectations and allow your painting to evolve based on pure emotion. It's a chance to let your gut, heart, and soul guide you without the need for discipline or thought.

Allow yourself a breath of creativity and relaxation at ART+SOUL.

Escape to the prairie skies of Riverhurst, SK for a gentle weekend of creativity, connection, and summer lake living. Just five minute drive from Dieffenbaker, this intimate ART+SOUL retreat invites you to slow down and explore a playful sampler of creative workshops in a charming village filled with character, sunshine, and inspiration.

Spend your days experimenting with mixed media art, intuitive painting, collage, printmaking, photography, sketching, and creative exploration using abundant professional art supplies and guided exercises designed for all skill levels. There is no pressure to create a masterpiece — only space to relax, play, and reconnect with your creative spirit.

In the evenings, head out to the lake, venture into Palliser Park to unwind by pool or beach, watch prairie sunsets, swim, journal, share stories, or simply enjoy the peaceful rhythm of summer in Saskatchewan. With communal lunch times, and small-group connection, this retreat is designed as a restorative creative escape rather than a formal art class.

Whether you’re an experienced artist or someone who hasn’t created in years, ART+SOUL offers a welcoming space to rest, experiment, and rediscover the joy of making.

Local accommodations available and or cozy shared accommodations in vintage character home.
