As a retreatant, your experience at Lazy Goose will be anchored in your one-on-one sessions with Gail and Art, for which all standard materials (canvas, paints, paper) are provided. Nonstandard materials -a 4'x6' canvas, for example - will be billed accordingly. The sessions are your only cost; all other benefits and features of your stay - the shared involvements in daily activities, meals, and your immersion in the natural surroundings of Lazy Goose, are at no cost to you. Additionally, as Gail and Art's guest, you're invited to stay in the guest cottage, again at no cost. However, if you prefer to stay in Saratoga, that would be at your expense. A typical weekend visit would include:

On day of arrival:
  • A two-hour afternoon session with Gail and/or Art, depending upon your preferences
  • Wine and appetizers, followed by a country gourmet dinner with Art and Gail in their home
  • A night in the guest cottage
