A Weekend of Art & Renewal

3 day retreat

Across 2n/3d, our Weekend Getaways invite you to settle into nature, explore your creativity, and rediscover what spacious living feels like. Hosted in breathtaking locations—Naivasha, Nanyuki, Timau, Champagne Ridge, and more—these retreats create room for both adventure and deep rest.
Weekend Retreats - setting the scene

Land in Nature

Guests enjoy boutique lodges, curated meals, and a sequence of guided painting sessions crafted around the landscape, mood, and light of each setting. From sunrise sketching to sunset reflection circles, the weekend unfolds gently and intentionally.

Daily Rhythm

Workshops are paired with mindful movement, nature walks, and unstructured time to wander, swim, rest, or journal. Every detail is designed to help you decompress from the intensity of daily life.

This is where friendships form, creativity expands, and your inner world slows enough for inspiration to land.
