The Art of Seeing: Portugal
Join Us in Portugal for an Intimate, One-of-a-Kind Creatives Retreat with Valori Wells & Kelly Sheets
Your Home in Portugal
Casas Na Ferraria
Our home for this retreat will be Casas Na Ferraria, a remarkable estate in the Portuguese countryside.
Acquired in 1922, the estate has been lovingly preserved and reimagined across generations. What began as a traditional Portuguese farm has evolved into a refined retreat where architecture, nature, and well being come together.
Surrounded by 130 hectares of protected land, Casas Na Ferraria offers a setting where you can slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the beauty of contemporary living.
A place to relax, to create, to reconnect with what matters.
There are only 13 spots available for this week to keep it intimate - 5 shared rooms & 3 private rooms.
Is this retreat for you?
- Do you want to be inspired and light up all of your senses?
- Are you looking to expand your creative expression beyond what you are currently experiencing?
- Do you feel stuck in life, creativity, business or personal? Or find that you limit yourself with self-judgment?
- Are you exploring what else you want to do in your life or want to get to know yourself better?
- Do you just have the "feeling" that you need to go?
If any of these fit, we would love to have you. This trip is designed to open your mind, inspire you and help you grow as a person so if it resonates, it is probably the right fit for you.
Together, Valori and Kelly, have complimentary skills that create a unique experience immersing you in Bali and tapping into higher levels of expression in all areas of your life.
Valori, Kelly, and the Art of Seeing
There is something special about creating an experience together.
Valori brings her artistic vision, her love of making, and her way of inviting people into creative exploration.
Kelly brings her work around freedom, personal power, and the experience of living and creating from a deeper relationship with yourself.
Together, we create space for you to explore what becomes possible when you allow yourself to see differently, create freely, and follow what feels alive.
Our retreats are an opportunity to step into a different environment, encounter new perspectives, and spend time with people who are also interested in living creatively.
We believe that the way you see the world influences the way you
experience and create your life.
We would love to welcome you to Portugal.

"As I sit this morning reflecting on our Bali retreat, I am filled with joy and gratitude to you both for creating such an amazing experience.This retreat was exhilarating and the best thing I have ever done for myself. It was soul nourishing and I loved being surrounded with such brilliant, caring, and creative women in such a beautiful setting.You two have created magic and are so complimentary to one another. Thank you for sharing your passion and magic with all of us and for introducing us to the beautiful people and wonders of Bali.
Thank you…thank you…thank you…"
— With love, light, and gratitude, Jacque
"Bali is a magical place in its own right, but the container and expertise that both Kelly & Val bring to the experience made it even better! Every detail was taken care of by them and it felt amazing to show up and let go! The creative/art activities Val curated were fun, meaningful, and subtly powerful. The spiritual insights and mindset coaching Kelly offered were spot on - along with her 20+ years of traveling to Bali, which made the cultural experience even richer. To top it off, the food and accommodations were luxurious.I feel rejuvenated mentally, emotionally, spiritually and creatively. If you’re considering a creative retreat with Kelly & Val, say yes. Your future self will thank you."

"Thank you for my trip of a lifetime. I mean it. Thank you.
I am so happy to know you! Bali was really a life-changing wonderful experience. I will be forever grateful for you. I learned what it was like to feel quiet within my own soul without anyone asking anything of me. I did not know what that felt like. It was wonderful and spiritual And peaceful. I never would have gone to Bali if it weren’t for you."
— Renee Sigman
"Thank you so much for the wonderful experiences we all got to be exposed to in Bali such as the silver making class, walks in the rice field, the water temple, making our malas, learning the ways of the Balinese culture, and I could go on and on.
Mostly what I was experiencing is who I really am and who I really want to be and how do I get there. Learning how to shift my energy and also how to calm the voices of negativity from myself and from others.Mostly … I AM AN ARTIST!!"
— Jann Gaige
"I just completed a retreat experience that was nothing short of life-changing. The retreat Kelly and Valori hosted was designed specifically for people like you and me; creatives. They invited all types, including Quilters, Writers, Designers, Painters, Fiber Artists, Seamstresses, Storytellers, Branding Specialists, Stylists, Teachers, and more, with the intention of helping people like us find deep fulfillment in our creative expression and in our lives in general.
Valori brought the cutting edge and culturally significant artistic activities and Kelly brought the practices to increase self-awareness and unleash creativity in all areas of life … And unleash we did."

Its so difficult to put into words how wonderful the retreat was, but here goes...
I signed up for the Bali retreat hoping to begin acquiring experiences rather than material possessions. Kelly and Valori provided a journey that far surpassed my expectations. The retreat provided the perfect variety of group activities balanced with free time, along with excellent Balinese cuisine and superior accommodations.
A friend recently asked me “is Bali still with you?” I quickly responded yes, as I remembered the warmth of the Balinese people with their unique and beautiful customs and gorgeous surroundings. Bali has changed me and I could not ask for anything more.
— Beth Wells
"Now that I am home, and reflecting on all that I experienced, there is one thing I realize above all else…… I am a kinder and more gentle person. The Balinese people have an inner light that shone on me in a way I had never experienced, and it truly changed me for the better.
Beyond the Balinese people, the people in our group of “creatives” were all wonderful and such fun! Plus Kelly and Valori were incredible leaders and guides; such inspiring women! What a gift they gave to me. My heart and my creative juices are overflowing."
— Janet Wright
"This retreat is the one you choose when you need off the beaten path of your too-busy life. Valori and Kelly have done a lovely job of balancing activity and rest, art and culture, and all in a sumptuous resort where the staff care for you like you’re their family.
I loved being exposed to different types of art-making, and luxuriated in the time to sink into it. I really appreciated being taught some of the local customs so that we stepped lightly and respectfully in this beautiful place. Bali asks you to be gentler, and Kelly and Valori have crafted a program that is gentle to our artistic souls too. If you’re looking for a “fill my suitcase with cheap fabrics” tour, this isn’t the one for you. But if you’re looking for the “refill my soul” trip, look no further!"
— Sam Hunter, Hunter's Design Studio
"I think a person grows when traveling and even more so when it’s a foreign country. We are such a spoiled country and it make you stop and appreciate our lives after these trips. The people of Bali were such happy, caring people. They worked so hard to make sure we were taken care of and having a good time! Loved meeting the other people on the trip and the sharing that made us close. Was excited about the projects that we did and hope to continue getting better at them."
— Jacque VanDamme
"What an Amazing, Life Altering Journey!!! I am still in Awe!!! Thanks for making My Journey so fulfilling. Already Thinking of next trip!"
