As the greenest and most diverse island of Cape Verde, Santo Antão offers endless inspiration.
Participants experience the true Cape Verdean lifestyle, enjoying local food and family-run guesthouses. During various hikes and excursions through lush valleys, creativity and inspiration are gathered and later brought to life on canvas.
It’s a creative journey that nurtures connection with one’s higher self and inner peace. The painting sessions are led by Melissa, who also works in Switzerland as a professional artist and creativity coach.
