The Art of Leadership Retreat
Sublime, Portugal
OCTOBER 6-13, 2024
We know what it’s like when your fire starts to flicker. When the passion and purpose that once burned so bright within you starts to feel like a distant memory.
That’s when it’s time to retreat. To step away from the noise and distractions of everyday life, and remember the essence of who you are.
And that’s precisely why we’re inviting you to join us for The Art of Leadership Retreat in the breathtaking Comporta region of Portugal this October.
This is no ordinary retreat. This is a full immersion into creativity, community, and the kind of personal growth that has the power to transform every facet of your life.
For seven soul-stirring days, you’ll be surrounded by the magical beauty of the Sublime estate – 17 lush hectares of intimate pools, umbrella pines, and wild sand dunes, just an hour from Lisbon. A place where time seems to stand still, allowing you to finally come home to yourself.
Under the guidance of two of the most trusted names in personal and professional transformation – Nicholas Wilton and Chérie Healey – you’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery that will light a fire within you like nothing else.
Nicholas will lead you through his signature Bloom Practice, a 5-step process that’ll reconnect you to your most authentic, magnetic self. And Chérie will take you through her proven 3-step method to remember your purpose, create the conditions to fulfill it, and start sharing your gifts with the world.
By the time you leave Sublime, you won’t just have your fire back – you’ll be a blazing comet, shining your light so brightly that the whole world can’t help but take notice.
A force of nature. A true work of art.
So if you’re ready to reignite your creative spark, reclaim your vision and purpose, and step into the transformative leadership you were born to embody…
…this retreat is your invitation.
What’s waiting for you…
Time to sink into the embrace of Mother Nature.
Space to think with clarity, purpose and away from people who need something from you.
Freedom to dream without limits.
This is your invitation to step away from the relentless doing, to turn up your soul’s frequency, and to discover powerful new ways of living and leading.
Leaders + Art + Nature
It’s a potent alchemy, isn’t it? Leaders making art in nature’s cathedral.
This is where the magic unfolds. Where you’ll gather with kindred spirits, activating big energy and revolutionary ideas through the act of creation, all while surrounded by Earth’s most breathtaking beauty.
No art experience is necessary. This isn’t about skill; it’s about tapping into your innate creativity.
We’re here to guide you into becoming the leader you were always meant to be. To help you fulfill your soul’s deepest purpose and to truly live your dream.
"I’m feeling SO much - and all the words I try on seem paltry and insufficient. The breakthroughs! The freedom! The Joy! The acceptance!! And the sense that I’ve just barely broken through and there is SO MUCH MORE on the way. Huge huge gratitude to the beautiful and talented souls you gathered to guide us (I love every one of them!), and to the group of resonant and inspiring fellow adventurer-travelers that you have drawn together with your message and energy.”
Prepare To:
- Reconnect with your soul's deepest vision and purpose
- Reignite the fire that fuels your passion
- Sculpt your message and brand into its truest form
- Uncover the raw, authentic essence of your self-expression
- Amplify your voice to resonate with unshakeable strength
- Expand your energetic frequency to new, vibrant heights
- Reawaken your most brilliantly creative self
- Feel the electric pulse of being wildly, unabashedly alive
This isn’t just a list of outcomes. It’s a promise of transformation. A glimpse into the radiant being you’re about to become. Are you ready to step into this version of yourself?
Imagine days designed to hold you in perfect balance between creativity and freedom, each one a transformative journey.
Your mornings unfold gently, open to possibility. Afternoons offer rest and reflection. In between, two guided creative sessions (9-12 and 3-6) invite you to dive deep into your artistic soul.
Nourishment comes not just from the unbelievably delicious meals, but from the souls you’ll share them with. Remember, the key to the greatest life isn’t what you eat, but who you break bread with.
As twilight falls, gather around the fire. Candlelight flickers, music hangs in the star-studded sky, and magic happens.
This, is a return to the aesthetic life. Surround yourself with beauty, create beauty, and watch as everything becomes possible again.
All art materials are provided, freeing you to simply create. You’ll have precious opportunities to make art alongside Nicholas, Chérie, and our guest art coaches.
Poolside, powerful conversations on life and leadership will unfold naturally. As the retreat progresses, delightful surprises will appear, each one carefully crafted to deepen your growth and transformation.
Integrate it all with a blissful spa treatment or a long walk with a newfound kindred spirit.
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a rebirth. A recalibration of your very being.
Life, as you know it, will be forever changed.

Comporta is in Portugal’s Alentejo province. A magical, unspoiled place where one is able to experience all that is still authentic and genuine in Portugal – living with the locals and feeling the pace of “slow living”. Comporta is an area made up of eight small villages. The main village of Comporta is located approximately 20km from the hotel and has small shops, restaurants, a grocery store, and cafés. Carvalhal is the closest village (5km from the hotel). Here, you will find cafés, shops, and restaurants frequented mainly by the locals.
All retreat participants will receive their very own Art2Life Retreat Art Kit!
Your art kit includes a set of 21 Art2Life high quality fluid acrylic colors, gloss medium, twelve 12″ x 12″ panels, a set of 8 brushes in various sizes, a painting tray, tracing paper pad, sandpaper, steel wool, pencil, and a 2-pocket apron.While everything you need to make art is included in the kit, if you have special tools, favorite brushes or other art making supplies you’d like to bring, please feel free to do so.
One of the hallmarks of any Art2Life Retreat is the Art Kit. This kit is sent to every Art2Life Retreat attendee, and it contains everything you need to enjoy the retreat. If you are traveling to the retreat by plane, please note that your Art2Life Art Kit MUST be checked as luggage; you cannot carry it onto the plane. If there are art materials you would like to bring that are not included in the art kit, then we certainly encourage you to do so. The weight of the art kit is around 14 lbs.
Art Kits are typically sent out 1 to 2 months prior to the start of the retreat (US residents only). For those attending the retreat who do not reside in the United States, we will bring your art kit to the Retreat.
