Examples of Art Influenced by Nature

Exploring nature in art is one way of infusing the beauty and healing properties that nature has to offer.

I especially love combining art making with journaling. I find it to be a powerful pairing that takes my creative journey to a deeper level. In this experience, you will learn about creativity and about yourself at the same time. It really is a combination like no other, and I can’t wait to show you why I love it.

The best part is that you don’t need have a creative bone in your body to make art. The workshops are designed for beginner and experienced creatives alike. The most important part is that you’re showing up and being fearless in your willingness to try.

Secure Your Spot

Join Lulu + the Soul Sisters you are meant to meet for a transformational, creative, and inspiring weekend where your Mind, Body + Spirit will come together to Awaken + Embody your full presence with the natural world around you.

What past retreat attendees are saying

When information about this retreat was sent my way a little voice in me said … Yes, do it. At this moment in my life I’ve had questions. Who am I? Who am I meant to be? I’ve been seeking ways to help those questions be answered and come to the surface and out of my subconscious. Art with Soul -Mind, Body, and Spirit Retreat, gave me the tools and techniques and … time, to help me reconnect to my inner voice.

I felt so taken care of during the retreat. I was able to make connections that I never thought I would when I signed up.

Working with Lulu is so … easy! She delivers teachings in such a way that there’s plenty of room for creative expression. She’s honest about where her path as an artist, mom, and professional has taken, it put me at ease knowing there’s no “right way” to live your dream.

I experienced a restoration in my creative self and a new drive for finding my hidden path, a path that maybe I’ve ignored as life just keeps moving along. I was able to really focus my attention during the weekend on the details of that hidden path and pay attention to what I really want and how I want to express that path.

If you’re interested in taking the time to explore your creative self while taking care of you, a retreat with Lulu is the way to go. A retreat with Lulu is self care for the creative soul. For those individuals who need to fuel all of their senses while feeling fully pampered and taken care of, and learn the skills to spark those feelings beyond the retreat.

I wanted to discover ways to meld creativity within several aspects of relaxation/meditation and … I did.

Thank you Lulu

Lulu Bea is a gifted teacher, mentor, and workshop leader. She provides guided meditation, open-ended journaling and painting experiences, plus the body oriented activity of dancing. With her support and the interaction with women on Creative and Spiritual journeys. I gained deep insights, but there was lots of fun & laughter!

Debbie H.

I love art, writing, learning new techniques and having life’s mundane churned up to create a fresh perspective, all alongside other women who want to do the same. This is a tall order and yet Lulu’s retreat fulfilled these desires and more.

I enjoyed a weekend in a beautiful, spacious home with tasty and nourishing meals provided. Through the meditation, intuitive writing and art journal excercises, I unexpectedly found much sought after freedom, love and comfort in an area of life I had remained stuck in. This could only have happened in an atmosphere that felt safe enough to be artistically expressive. There was a perfect balance of feeling relaxed, yet motivated to explore the weekend themes of body, mind and spirit.

Lulu knows how to create a space where women from different generations feel welcomed, valued and understood. I enjoyed the sense of community offered in group circle time, around the meal table or pottering through art supplies during the evening freetime. I also enjoyed reflective time alone, simply sitting in the garden, wondering what the colours of tulips yet to unfold may be, and how these thoughts were symbolic of my life.

I recommend a retreat like the one Lulu provided for any woman who wishes to delve into their life more deeply using artistically expressive means while enjoying a break from the usual demands of life. I arrived back home feeling refreshed and wish the same for other women.

To all women out there, it is important to take time to nurture yourself. This retreat did just that by providing instruction in the art of journaling/writing, intuitive painting, circle talk and a fun salsa dance lesson. I have met an incredible group of women that share similar ideas and supported all of us as we shared openly about ourselves. The facilitator was incredible and made us feel very included and in touch with our inner selves.

More retreat love

My experience at the retreat was wonderful. I liked the size, 12 of us was just right. The location was great. The time of year couldn’t have been better-Spring was just manifesting.

I especially appreciated the variety of meals that were offered. I have a food allergy, and it was not a problem at all.

I really enjoyed the spiritual aspect of it. Regardless of religion, I think we all felt a connection with a power greater than ourselves, and were given opportunities to apply that within our projects.

The art classes were just delicious to me. I felt like I could just take my ideas and run with them. I spent lots of extra time outside of classes working on art projects.

Lulu was a great leader. She really sparked our creativity, but then she gave us room to make it our own. The other ladies there were beautiful souls. We really enjoyed getting to know one another.

There really isn’t a negative thing I could say about it. It was a beautiful weekend, well worth the expense.

I came away enriched and ready to apply what I’d learned to new art projects.

Thanks Lulu for following the impressions you had to hold this retreat. I hope to do it again!

I stumbled upon this retreat in facebook events calendar and I thought this could be amazing. I wanted to take a leap of faith and find something to challenge and teach me about art, as well as a possible new community to be a part of, as community is what we crave in today’s world. I found this with the 2 + day retreat.

Working with Lulu was amazing. She has brought a calm, balanced, open energy to the retreat. Her sweet handwritten cards sent to my home even before starting the retreat blew me away as we have never met before. This showed me her intention and willingness to be open and connected to each and everyone of us.

Lulu provides a safe and loving environment to be YOU without judgement. She is interested in what we create by ourselves with her instructions and without. She is encouraging and kind. My experience was awesome and I felt her heart energy as I hugged her goodbye and didn’t want to leave.

People should want to work with her because of the intention and love she brings to her work.

My favorite part of the weekend was the painting. I’m hanging my picture in my townhouse downtown and ordered a large canvas to do an intuitive painting for the main room!
I liked that we did the writing, dancing, and the visionbook. The variety kept me stimulated.
I was intially worried it would be all younger women and I really liked that it was all age groups sharing with each other!
I really liked the casual accepting nature of this workshop. I really felt filled up and left feeling good about myself and others.
