THE 2023 SERENDIPITY ART RETREAT in SRI LANKA with ESTE MACLEOD
Presented by Anna Kwiecinska, who is currently living in Sri Lanka, with acclaimed UK artist Este MacLeod.
" Thanks for creating such a fabulous retreat - it has been joyful!
I have enjoyed all the Hidden Gems" Jayne R. Surrey, UK
As for our Serendipity Retreat held in 2021, we'll be based in the UNESCO World Heritage Old Dutch Galle Fort - a world of its own, full of character and charm, I know you'll fall in love with it as I have since living here. It's the perfect place to come and make art.
Brimming with inspiration, evocative streets of old Dutch houses retained with authenticity, as the entire Galle Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Fabulous cuisine abounds, You can sea swim safely, and our retreat is held in its very own garden hotel with lovely wide verandahs. It's calm, unhurried atmosphere just for us, so we're in a safe, peaceful bubble.
We'll have adventures beyond the fort, visiting Lunuganga, the famous architect Geoffrey Bawa's stunning country residence, and you'll meet many of my friends in Galle Fort - some count their family history within its walls back seven generations!
Este has a fantastic program for you and everything's provided - even the professional quality art materials.
We're really looking forward to meeting you here on the Teardrop Isle for a blissful Creative Living Retreat
- so much to look forward to!
