Mountain Bliss
NC Mountian Creative RETREAT
October 16 - October 19 2023
Who Is This Retreat For?
While the vision is to gather a small group of 6-8 enthusiasts (both women and men are welcome), it's vital to note this is not a step-by-step painting workshop.
This retreat is more about celebrating the spirit of painting, camaraderie, and nature. If you're experienced, fantastic! If you’re new to the art but are excited to dive in, your enthusiasm is just as welcome. We're here to inspire and be inspired.
THIS IS YOUR RETREAT.
You Can Customize it to your liking.
Nothing is required from you.
SUPPLIES
Whether you're a watercolor enthusiast, an oil paint aficionado, or a pastel lover, bring along your favorite medium and all the supplies you’ll need. This is your chance to capture nature's grandeur firsthand and translate your experience onto the canvas. So pack up your brushes, paints, and spirit of adventure, and get ready for a retreat where every day is a new creative exploration!
WHAT TO EXPECT
-
Nature's Canvas: Each day offers a new backdrop as we explore different locales, painting the vast and varied landscapes of the NC mountains.
-
Nature Walks: Go beyond the canvas and step into the scenes you paint. Enjoy daily hikes and soak in the autumnal splendor that the mountains offer.
-
Evening Reveries: As day turns to dusk, find comfort and camaraderie around a crackling bonfire. Share your day's creation, swap stories, and delve into gourmet dishes whipped up by our very own in-house chef, Ron.
-
Collaborative Artistry: More than just a retreat, it's an opportunity to connect. Paint not just the beautiful landscapes, but also bond over shared passions with both new and familiar faces.
Where:
Escape to your own private mountain retreat on Swan Mountain and experience the best of both worlds. Enjoy the tranquility of a sprawling hillside, stargazing spots, hot tub, and fire pit for ultimate relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.

"Wow! I just returned from an absolutely amazing and unforgettable art retreat with our wonderful hosts, Missy and Ron Ronquillo of Pescado Y Amor! It was a true getaway, especially during times like these!
The community is more than I could have imagined- alive, vibrant, friendly, beautiful and with interesting sights at every turn! It was a true immersion and I so enjoyed breathing in the culture, language, landscape, food, and of course, art! Working in the studio and creating an art piece of my own was an added bonus! Thank you Missy and Ron!!!"
