Resorts and Retreats Awards 2026 | 15 Besides this ethos of empowerment and nurturing, creative-driven atmosphere, every retreat delivered by SoulPainting Retreat also offers beautiful grounds, amazing food, four-star rooms, spa treatments, and a pool /jacuzzi. As a result of this, what SoulPainting delivers is more than just a standard retreat, and it is instead a sacred return to a person’s creative self, shared with like-minded people. Guests can even bring a friend or a loved one with them so that they can explore this heartcentred healing project together. Four retreats are currently in the works at SoulPainting Retreat. The first of these is set to be held at Equilibrium Healing Resort & Spa in Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, in March next year, but it is already sold out. However, those interested in the powerful, fun, and creative experiences these retreats offer need not fear, as a second retreat, this time in Carefree, Arizona, at the Civana Wellness Resort & Spa is scheduled for September 2027, and is taking reservations. Located in the Sonoran Desert, and just a stone’s throw away from Scottsdale, Civana is an emerging wellness resort which offers transformative retreats aimed at wellness travelers aged 14 and up. Supported by its four pillars of Movement, Spa, Nourishment, and Discovery, Civana Wellness Resort & Spa is able to achieve its mission of empowering individuals through delivering an unparalleled, luxury experience. Taking a closer look at her second European retreat destination in Mijas, Spain in September 2028, SoulPainting, sees luxury meeting creativity and spirituality, all nestled in a reflective and renewing space where sunlit days, restorative quiet, and a warm sense of possibility converge to create an atmosphere that feels both calming and energizing. Every day here includes intentional painting sessions that blend personal artistry with a mindful presence, and guests are supported as they express themselves through the artistic power inherent across color, texture, and symbolism. Between the painting sessions, the peaceful setting, Mijas, Spain’s storybook destination known for its authentic charm, tranquil landscapes, and slow place of life, offers a peaceful backdrop of natural beauty. Days are sunny and the atmosphere is calming, making it ideal for reflection, restorative retreats, and creative work. This grounding space is perfect for the one-of-a-kind, heart-centred painting SoulPainting Retreat delivers, with its grounding location as inspiring as it is rejuvenating. At SoulPainting Retreat’s escapes, ancient ceremonies form the foundation of this unique creative painting experience—pairing cacao and sound healing to help people release, and connect with the inner truth that guides their painting. While cacao calms and opens the heart, sound healing uses vibrations to support deep relaxation, emotional release, and energetic reset. Lastly, what really sets this particular retreat apart are the excursions and adventure days guests go on, and can include excursions to a nearby botanical gardens or a visit to tropical beach towns, quaint European villages or charming desert boroughs. Similarly, in the evenings, attendees, if they wish, can visit the laid-back village near the villa or retreat center, where the sun lowers, and warm energy and breezes result in a relaxed atmosphere that help guests to slow down after a day of creating from the soul. When guests return home, they will take more than just their paintings with them. Attendees depart with a sense of clarity, courage, and belonging, not to mention a renewed spirit and a newfound appreciation in the beauty of everyday life. This is true also of the workshops SoulPainting delivers, which are again grounded in this focus on healing art, this time at Sandra’s own hidden sanctuary in Bucerias, Mexico. No matter how a person interacts with the heart-centred healing Sandra fosters through art, SoulPainting remains a beautiful project which, when experienced, will alter perspectives and elevate a person’s creativity. Sandra treats every person who crosses the threshold with a tenderness of heart and soul, and as the world changes and people are increasingly asked to come into alignment with their heart energy, her work is causing vibrational shifts in being – with these new vibrations being full of joy, light, and truth. More on the new healing art that awaits at SoulPainting, either through its retreats or workshops, can be found at the website below.
