At the Smiley Manse, our aim is to provide you with an inspired setting and incredible teachers for a retreat experience you won’t forget. We want to bring together talented artists from around the world in a picturesque New England setting, where we can enjoy mindfulness among dewy blades of grass, explore art techniques outdoors or in our renovated, yet still rustic, barn, and dine on the veranda of a historic farmhouse. From mixed media collage to hand lettering, each retreat provides a unique experience and will give you a chance to restore your mind, body, and spirit by rekindling your relationship with nature, creativity, and your fellow artist friends.
