Portal Painting: A Three-Day Online Creative Retreat

This format pairs creative attention with simple contemplative practices. Rather than aiming for a polished picture, the focus is on noticing resistance, staying curious and continuing the work one layer at a time.

Set aside a weekend to paint without needing a fixed outcome. Keyla Sereen Ohs guides the group through an intuitive process in which each layer carries a different intention. Guided visualisation and meditation create pauses between stages, making the practice approachable even if you have never painted before.

The retreat unfolds over three connected online sessions, with an opening and closing ceremony around the painting process. You will work layer by layer with your own paints, brushes and chosen surface, following prompts while leaving room for personal interpretation. One registration provides Zoom access to all three days.

No painting experience is needed. A detailed materials list is sent after booking; the organiser recommends a surface of at least 12 x 16 inches. Choose the recording-inclusive ticket if you may miss live time. Refunds are available up to seven days before the event. The current from-price is CAD 50.60.
