Join Annie Rousseau for a weekend painting retreat at the beautiful Bethlehem Center in Nanaimo, British Columbia. Bethlehem Centre is centrally located on beautiful Vancouver Island and boasts a picturesque setting at the foot of Mount Benson on the beautiful shores of Westwood Lake. The wooded setting with gardens, a pond and labyrinth inspire deep tranquillity and personal reflection.
=0D=0A=Our focus this weekend will be on creative process, with an emphasis on the journey rather than on the finished work of art. In a studio environment free of judgement and critique, we’ll invite you to paint without a plan and trust your spontaneous nature. The results are unexpected and intriguing — very often a wild vein of passion is awakened within you that will not go back to sleep long after the workshop has ended.

=0D=0A="I came to the Painting Experience a non-painter. I thought I would be staring at a blank canvas all week. But once I started painting I hardly stopped, losing track of time and place. A dormant, non-verbal self woke up and expressed a missing piece that I didn't know was there. I am now painting everyday, starting to write again, and carry around an idea journal with me everywhere I go." ~ Tammy Parks, July 2017
