TESTIMONIALS
-
"Malka's retreat brought me into a sense of community with like-minded creative women with a passion for letters that I didn't realize I needed"
-
"I realized on this trip that the silence was more healing than any extravagant trip through Europe could ever be. The clarity I experienced during the retreat was the biggest high"
-
"Malka's retreat is life changing. It's an extraordinary experience where art, nature and different cultures collide into one great big adventure. In the Costa Rican paradise, I drew in the jungle while monkeys swung from the tree branches above. I walked through a cave to discover a waterfall, and ate incredible, festive meals under a million stars. Meaningful discussions on creativity and personal struggles while butterflies and toucans play around you, helps the artistic soul to meditate then soar. Once there were so many doubts within me, but this wonderful tropical escapade generated new excitement in to my personal creative journey"
-
"Malka’s retreat was truly a gift to myself. I did not know what to anticipate, coming alone, but I made lifetime friends and was able to relax into the beautiful environment of the jungle. Malka was patient, a great guide through the classes, and very encouraging.The hotel has breathtaking views, impeccable nature and beautiful design. I left feeling so full, emotionally, and equipped with skills to continue my calligraphy journey at home"
-
"I was ready to be surprised and blown away, but once there, the retreat met and exceeded my expectations in ways I could not have imagined"

"The calligraphy art retreat in Costa Rica was the best trip I’ve taken. A 5 start resort with the most creative chef, organic ingredients grown on site. Swag bags filled with art and classes with personal instruction and follow up months later. The group was small enough that we all became instant friends. Trips were planned with snacks and drinks provided. Yoga in a tree was given by an amazing instructor. Nightly chats around a fire brought a new level of spirituality and closeness to the event. Birthdays were celebrated with a beach sunset bonfire and dancing in the rain with mixed drinks and snacks and towels given out by the super warm and accommodating staff. Malka thought of every detail possible and I still can’t thank her enough"
