“I can’t tell you how much your retreat made a difference in my life. What a release and relief! A good clearing and reset. Thank you so very much my Dear Montine! You are an incredible, beautiful soul and your work is so valuable and much needed in our society. Flowing you Love and Light always!” - Joshua Tree Retreat, 2024

“This experience was unlike anything I have ever done. It unlocked blocks Ive had in life currently as well as found peace with the past. It may sound like a lot but it truly is remarkable ! ” — JAN 6TH, 2024

“What a great experience! I was so pleased to spend the retreat with such a nice group of women and felt comfortable expressing myself, both in my paintings and emotionally. I appreciated the way Montine encouraged me to look inward, be fearless, and really tap into my creative side that Ive kept buried for so long. The food was absolutely delicious and the stay overall was very welcoming, cozy, and accommodating. I spent time outdoors, walked to the river, hiked a couple trails. Im so glad I got to know and spend time with Montine. She is such a gifted, caring person and her coaching, guidance and overall approach in the Intuition Painting is wonderful!” —Feb 1st, 2024

This retreat gave me the emotional release, understanding and peace that I’ve been searching for for months. I’ve had terrible insomnia for the past few weeks due to anxiety - I tried everything: herbs, sleeping pills, NyQuil, CBD gummies, and could barely get a decent night’s sleep. But the night after the retreat ended, I slept deeply for 9 hours without taking a thing! I had vivid dreams and woke up feeling happy and peaceful. Intuitive painting HEALS and TRANSFORMS. Period. There’s no other process like it for reaching your inner wisdom. Thank you Montine!” — Joshua Tree Retreat, 2022

“Montine creates a warm, safe space to help you explore creatively and discover new insights about yourself, your relation to the world, and what is really going on deep below the surface. No matter the level you work at, you’ll get something out of this workshop. Come discover that you are an artist — even if you don’t have the paper or pedigree. Living is its own art and your creation will help you excavate what you want more of out of this one.” — Author & Coach, IP ONLINE 2022

"When you put 12 strangers together and ask them to arrive with an open mind for an experience they are unlikely to have imagined correctly, it could cause problems. "Montine's expertise and natural empathy made the transition from everyday life to something extraordinary fairly seamless. You would expect that the sort of person who signs up for 6 days of Intuition Painting would make us all similar, but this wasn't the case and the diversity enriched the retreat hugely. "My experience of life is that is often easier to bond with strangers than with someone you have known for a while - no baggage and greater freedom to be honest. The beautiful Tuscan scenery, the sunshine and the "unusual" but comfortable accommodation quickly removed you from normal life and made you open to the purpose of the retreat. "I had no particular expectations and at the beginning, when the group were strangers, there were a lot of self-conscious moments where I tried to suppress any cynicism I arrived with. After 24 hours the importance of authenticity and honesty were clear - why would you sign up for something like this and not give it your best shot? "Unlike some of the mysticism surrounding other sorts of retreats, this was profound and thoroughly understandable. Feeling safe within the group is fundamental and Montine manages this brilliantly; however it is the group itself which makes it work. "I have always had faith in humanity and this was enhanced by the lovely people I shared the week with...There was nothing I didn't like and it is an adventure I would certainly repeat." — EAT.PAINT.LOVE!

“I got so much life-changing-value out of this course. For years, I’ve felt like I’ve been floating through life—going from one distraction to the next — but at the expense of ever feeling truly satisfied and fulfilled. I wasn’t sure what I needed to feel more engaged with my own life, or if I even had the motivation to make any lasting changes. I was stuck. “Then came along this course. And damn, as corny as it sounds, I felt a shift. “Through Montine’s guided care and teachings, I started on a journey that taught me: 1) I am valuable and worthy of love; 2) I can control how I perceive the world and how it interacts with me; and 3) how I can use these gifts to uplift the community around me. “I don’t know if I could have learned these things any other way. “The weekly sessions over two-months-time helped me apply these messages and practices into my daily life. Because of this, I feel really optimistic that they have become a habit and will lead to lasting change. I went from feeling indifferent and constantly tired—even though I barely did anything with my day—to a sort of energized-tired because I’m so motivated I want to cram in EVERYTHING into my day. “It’s truly been surprising and, frankly, amazing. I didn’t know what I was capable of and now I feel like a whole new world has opened up to me. “If you feel stuck and indifferent and kind of “blah” day to day—try this course. It could be the biggest, richest most love-filled gift you’ll ever give yourself. " - Online Intuition Painting® Series, 2021

“Just want you to know that I came back from Costa Rica and changed my life. I’ve sold my car and both my houses and bought a 2 bedroom condo in a favorite spot. Everything feels different and I’m off to a new adventure! Thanks and love!” — MORE MOJO RETREAT, Costa Rica, 2019

“I would definitely do this retreat again! It is suprising, even for sceptics, to see what painting and the helpful and loving work of Montine can do to your inner being! If you are looking for a week just for you. To relax, eat amazing Italian food in a beautiful setting while feeding your soul with creativity and (self)love, do it!!” — EAT.PAINT.LOVE! Retreat, Italy, 2022

“This is a very special and unique experience, and I would 100% recommend for anyone who is interested in exploring their inner world. I’ve participated in two online zoom workshops with Montine, which I loved, so I knew when I signed up for the in-person retreat in Italy that we would be guided in a safe, encouraging and gentle way. What I didn’t expect was how dynamic and fulfilling it was going to feel to be immersed in painting within a group. I really appreciated being able to unplug from my regular routine and life. I felt cared for and pampered with the amazing meals in such a beautiful place. I found myself looking forward to each day with true curiosity in what was going to come through me. It was a powerful heart-opening experience, and one that is continuing to unfold. Thank you!” — EAT.PAINT.LOVE! Retreat, Italy, 2021
