Yes! There will be time available if you would like to explore the beautiful town of Comporta.

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 cafĂ©s. Carvalhal is the closest village (5km from the hotel). Here, you will find cafĂ©s, 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.
