LET GO AND PAINT

Do you have a hidden artist who is longing to come out and play? Would you like to try watercolor, create a mixed media collage, or even learn to paint a landscape? 

Join artist, yoga teacher, and author, Linda Novick, in a judgment-free environment designed for you to discover your unique creative genius. Through gentle yoga, playful painting, and more, you will:

  • Open your heart.
  • Move past what holds you back.
  • Experience a life-changing burst of creativity and self-expression. 

Give yourself the gift of a painting retreat in the Berkshires with time to paint, walk, practice yoga, and allow your creative spirit to soar. Program participants will also receive personal instruction from Linda. 

NOTE No prior experience in yoga or painting is necessary.
