the Peaceful Tangles Retreat

~ Creating Zentangle Art in Community ~

May 20 and 21, 2025

Morgan Hill, California

The Peaceful Tangles Retreat is a relaxing and enjoyable 2-day tangling event for Zentangle artists.

Retreat workshops include traditional tangling as well as Zentangle inspired art projects taught by a team of enthusiastic Certified Zentangle Teachers. We look forward to welcoming you to this special gathering.

Participants will enjoy Zentangle art workshops, soothing meditations, lively group activities, time for socializing, special surprises and more!

Imagine yourself in a welcoming community of Zentangle artists at the Peaceful Tangles Retreat. You’ll relax and savor your artistic journey as it flourishes in a kind supportive group.

Your CZT presenters will guide you through Zentangle workshops that allow you to focus, relax and grow as an artist. Throughout the retreat you will learn creative new approaches, techniques and hints to creating beautiful Zentangle art.

We’ll tangle on an array of Zentangle tiles using a collection of quality art supplies that you receive in your gift bag. How fun!

The Certified Zentangle Teachers who will be teaching at the 2025 Peaceful Tangles Retreat are Angie Gittles from Maryland, Sandy Kelley-Jones from Texas, Maria Pahos-Benson from southern California, Andi Varon from southern California and Nancy Domnauer from northern California.   

Tangling in community, learning new techniques, creating Zentangle art and making new friends is the essence of The Peaceful Tangles Retreat.

We hope to see you there!

Participation in the retreat is open to Zentangle artists, CZTs and anyone with Zentangle experience.

The Peaceful Tangles Retreat program meets on Tuesday, May 20 and Wednesday, May 21, 2025 from 9:30 am to 4:45 pm at the Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center. This state-of-the-art meeting venue in beautiful downtown Morgan Hill, California provides a professional and pleasant setting for our art retreat.

The town of Morgan Hill is a charming community nestled in a valley between rolling, oak-studded foothills as well as forested coastal mountains. Within an hour’s drive are the scenic towns of Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz on the Pacific Ocean coastline.
