Julie Glaude- Nature journaling and Geli plate printing. Sept 20 & 21 $295.00
Join Julie Glaude at Wee Point Resort for a for a peaceful and inspiring Art Retreat on Manitoulin Island, taking place September 20th and 21st. This special two-day experience is centred around tree studies and nature journaling, inviting you to slow down and connect deeply with the natural world.
Throughout the retreat, we will explore the beauty of our surroundings through guided art sessions, including nature journaling and the use of gentle gelli plate printing techniques to create rich textures inspired by the environment. No matter your skill level, this workshop is designed to be welcoming, relaxing, and creatively fulfilling.
We’ll also enjoy a lovely, easy-paced hike along a flat trail—perfect for all abilities—allowing us to observe, gather inspiration, and immerse ourselves in the landscape without the intensity of a strenuous workout.
This retreat is about more than art—it’s an opportunity to pause, breathe, and reconnect. Immersing yourself in both nature and creative expression can be deeply therapeutic, offering a meaningful way to practice mindfulness and rediscover a sense of calm.
We hope you’ll join us for this unique and rejuvenating experience, where art and nature come together in harmony.
