Kristin Romberg retreat

This 5-day immersive retreat is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with your creative core.

Rather than focusing on technique or creating finished works, we will explore painting and drawing as a lived, embodied process. The workshop centers on intuition, presence, and courage — working from the body, the senses, and inner impulse rather than from control or expectation.

Through a series of guided exercises, individual work, and reflection, participants are encouraged to let go of habits, performance, and self-judgment. There is no right or wrong, no result to achieve. The focus is on listening, responding, and allowing the work to emerge over time.

Participants will have their own unprimed cotton canvas to work on throughout the week. This raw surface allows for direct, honest engagement with the materials, letting each mark, gesture, and movement remain visible — a space to fully explore presence and intuition in your work. It is the same canvas that Kristin works on.

You’ ll work with acrylics on simple, affordable, and accessible materials such as paper, cardboard, natural elements, and found objects. By reducing material hierarchy, attention shifts from outcome to experience, from perfection to authenticity. You are of course welcome to bring your own canvas, brushes and other things you want to work with. Kristin will have the basic needs.

The workshop is suitable for artists and creatives at all stages who wish to deepen their process, reconnect with intuition, and experience art as an honest and meaningful practice. No previous experience is required.

What matters is curiosity, openness, and a willingness to let go.
