Tap into your Inner ArtistSometimes all it takes to ignite your creative fire is a little how-to, or in the case of Artista Creative Safaris for Women, a six-day creative retreat filled with finger paints, yoga, and inspiring scenery. Created by the founders of Las Olas Surf Safaris, the surf adventure company designed exclusively for women, Artista offers a safe haven for creatives and creative wannabees to learn a new art. Sessions include everything from Color Theory to finger paints, and classes are separated by Chardonnay breaks, therapeutic massage, and spa treatments. The six-day retreat includes accommodations at La Playa Hotel in Carmel, California, unlimited use of professional tools, three healthy meals per day, daily yoga, massage and spa treatments, and other such outdoor activities as wine tasting, hiking, sea kayaking, or touring the Monterey Bay Aquarium. For more information or to book one of their upcoming retreats (April 24–29 and May 1–6) please call (707) 746-6435.
