PAULINA CASATI
Paulina Casati is a visionary artist from the mountains of south-central Appalachia and is presently based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Inspired by her appreciation for nature and divine intelligence, she explores motifs of oneness, non-duality and multi-dimensionalism. Her creative intention is to reflect the synchronistic unity displayed across humans, our planet, and the cosmos.
JUDEA CHRISTINE
Judea Christine is a medium, intuitive energy healer, and sound therapist based on the island of Kauai. With 20 years of experience, she specializes in the transformative power of sound to heal and deepen one’s connection to their soul. Her work focuses on unblocking and integrating energies within the soul matrix, guiding individuals to release, transform, and align. A gifted musician and composer from childhood, Judea channels messages from spirit through song, offering sound journeys that provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for self-exploration. Her healing sessions bring clients back to their grounded center, fostering a renewed sense of alignment, wisdom, and overall well-being.
RETREAT VENUE
You will be staying at Judea's place in the Kapahi area of Kapaa, HI. The painting space and communal sleeping quarters will be in the "OmniChakra Temple" which is currently still in construction. Camping is offered anywhere on the 1 acre property which has an incredible view of Makaleha mountain and its waterfalls. On site there are fruit trees, a vegetable garden, koi pond, and wild chickens! Judea does have 3 small black dogs and 2 black cats but they will not be in the art space in case anyone has allergies.
