Tangling in Community
~
Tangling in Community ~
Retreat workshops include traditional tangling as well as Zentangle inspired art projects taught by a team of enthusiastic Certified Zentangle Teachers.
Enjoy the camaraderie of tangling in community and creating art within a friendly group of Zentangle artists.
Learn new tangle patterns and techniques, create art with new pens, pencils and supplies that you receive all while savoring the synergy of tangling in harmony within a group of Zentangle artists.
At Peaceful Tangles Retreat, we tangle on an array of Zentangle tiles using a collection of quality art supplies that you receive in your gift bag. How fun!
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 for creating beautiful Zentangle art.

We enjoyed sharing our classes and our love of Zentangle with the fabulous group of tanglers at the retreat.
Tangling in community, learning new techniques, creating Zentangle art and making new friends is the essence of The Peaceful Tangles Retreat. We’re looking for good vibes and happy tanglers to participate in this event.
The Peaceful Tangles Retreat meets at the beautiful Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center. This state-of-the-art meeting venue in lovely 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.
