Arts for LifeStyle Retreats
Arts for Lifestyle Retreats:
Offering a year round ‘Festival Vibe’ here at the Uke Boutique, we can now now present Arts for Lifestyle Retreats. These retreats have been developed over the last 2 years for both locals and travellers. Are you travelling alone and don’t want to see the standard sights of Amsterdam. Let Crazy Orphelia aka Candace Bloom make a nice retreat for you. You can get energized from all the fun activities she got planned for you. We have two retreats available, one that’s focused on music and one that’s focused on the arts. Read more below:
