Do I need to be artistic or have experience to join the retreat?

Absolutely no prior art experience is needed! Our Mbuji-Mayi retreats are designed for everyone, from those who haven't held a pen in years to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every single step, from basic spray can control to advanced layering techniques. We focus on the joy of creation and the therapeutic nature of the process, ensuring you leave with a piece of art you're truly proud of.

What safety measures and gear do you provide?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, often outdoors to take advantage of the beautiful DR Congo climate. Our lead artists are also trained in safety protocols to ensure a worry-free environment where you can focus entirely on your artistic journey and personal growth.

How long does a typical retreat workshop session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3.5 hours. This allows enough time for the introductory talk, technique practice, concept sketching, and the final painting of your masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive full-day or multi-day retreat experience, we can certainly customise the schedule to include deeper mindfulness sessions and collaborative mural projects across the city.

What happens if we aren't happy with the experience?

We pride ourselves on our 'results guaranteed' philosophy. If your group is not satisfied with the energy or the quality of the workshop, we will work with you to make it right. Additionally, we have a reliable network of backup artists available in the region, so even in the rare case of an emergency, your event will proceed as planned. You only pay after the workshop is complete!

How do you incorporate the local Mbuji-Mayi culture into the workshop?

Mbuji-Mayi is the diamond capital, and we love incorporating that local spark! While our standard retreats use canvases or mobile walls, we often theme our sessions around local culture, Congolese colours, and the vibrant spirit of the Kasai-Oriental province. We encourage participants to draw inspiration from the bustling local markets and the resilient, sparkling energy of the city's people to create something truly unique.

Are materials like spray cans and canvases included in the price?

Everything is included in our transparent pricing! You'll get all the professional-grade spray paint you need, protective gear, various caps (nozzles) for different effects, canvases or boards, and the expert guidance of our artists. There are no hidden fees or surprise costs for materials. We even handle the setup and the cleanup, so you can just show up and start flowing with your creative energy.

Local culture

Mbuji-Mayi is a city with a unique, industrious heartbeat. Known globally for its diamond production, there is an inherent appreciation here for things that are rough on the outside but brilliant on the inside—just like street art! The local culture is a vibrant mix of traditional Kasai hospitality and a modern, forward-thinking spirit. While formal 'street art' galleries are rare, the city itself is a canvas of bustling trade and colourful textiles that provide endless inspiration for our retreats. 💎

Fun Fact: Did you know that Mbuji-Mayi was almost entirely a residential town before diamonds were discovered? Today, that same sudden "spark" of discovery is what we aim to recreate in every workshop participant as they find their own artistic brilliance!

Pricing

Our retreat experiences are tailored to your specific needs, group size, and location within the city. No two workshops are the same!

Price range: FC50,000 - FC120,000 per person
No upfront payment: Relax knowing you only pay once the workshop is completed!
Scalable options: Discounts available for large groups and multi-day retreats.
