The Artful Life Retreat is a new retreat/workshop offering in 2020 - and we hope you will join us as we connect the spirit of art and the soul of this amazing land in northern New Mexico. Two The Artful Life sessions will be held in 2020 - each session will be unique and will allow you to discover your creativity, recharge your soul, spend time in nature, and connect with the history, culture and magical land with like-minded people. Your hosts for both sessions are Carolyn and Tom Calfee, Debra Fritts and Frank Shelton. Carolyn and Tom own and operate Abiquiu Vacation Rentals and The Grand Hacienda Bed & Breakfast - and much of our workshop will take place on their property. You will stay in either a vacation home on the lake or above on a mesa top; in a studio room; or at the luxury bed and breakfast. All lodging options are located in a gated community on Abiquiu Lake…surrounded by the lake, Rio Chama, Ghost Ranch, Cerro Pedernal and the million-year old red rocks. There is a history and energy to this land, and you will explore it first-hand.www.discoverabiquiu.com/theartfullife

Debra and Frank will host walks, clay mediations and daily journaling which will allow new thinking to enter into your life. This exposure to creative thoughts and daily observations will open the “self” to move forward and experience an artful life. Day excursions will include three studio sessions at the home and studio of Debra Fritts and Frank Shelton. Their creative insight, connection, expertise and creative energy will astound you. You will discover that you, too, have the ability to be expressive and creative!
