  • IMPORTANT:  All retreat information will be emailed to the email address you used to register with.  If you require the materials to be sent to an alternate email address, please email Support@ConnieSolera.com and let us know right away.

 



COVID-19 Policy | Travel Insurance Strongly Recommended

  • Travel Insurance with"cancel for any reason" coverage is strongly suggested for attending Paint FEARLESS Mexico to cover any complications that may occur due to COVID. Such as, for example, if you personally need to cancel because you contracted COVID yourself or are showing symptoms. Do your research before purchasing, but we personally recommend World Nomads or Trawick International and it is best to purchase travel insurance sooner than later to receive full  coverage.
  • You will be required to sign a release form before attending.


Lodging & Meals

  • Lodging is single occupancy.
  • Each room comes with a full size bed, a private bathroom, 24 hour access to the studio space right outside your bedroom, rooftop patio with amazing view, and a communal mini-refrigerator, filtered water, dishes, coffee pot, and electric tea kettle.
  • Also included in the Paint FEARLESS Mexico registration is five breakfasts and four lunches.  But because Oaxacan cuisine is so wonderful, dinners are not prearranged to give you freedom to choose where and what to eat.  Connie will point you to her favorite restaurants and her assistant can help you make reservations if needed.
  • Everything is an easy walk from Casa Agave (where you'll be lodging and enjoying studio time). Taxi's are abundant and affordable if you prefer not to walk.
  • Most people pair up or go to dinner in groups, so don't worry about dining alone.  Travel costs are not included

 


Supplies

  • A detailed supply list will be included in your welcome email.  We'll be painting with acrylic paints and Connie will take you to the infamous Frida Kahlo art store to help you purchase your own stash of Politec Paints -- only available in Mexico.  At Paint FEARLESS Mexico we use a Canson Mixed Media large sketchbook as our main substrate.  As well as experimenting with oil pastels and ink pens in a smaller sketchbook while we are out exploring.  None of the supplies are very expensive and you are always welcome to improvise with what you already possess.

 


Travel Tips

  • You DO need a passport that doesn't expire for six months from your date of entry to Mexico.
  • You will fly into the Oaxaca de Juarex, Oaxaca airport.
  • Airport code is: OAX.
  • In the US, United Airlines has a direct flight from Houston to Oaxaca and American Airlines has a direct flight from Dallas to Oaxaca.
  • Otherwise, you will likely change planes in Mexico City from your city of origin.
  • From the Oaxaca airport you'll take a taxi (collectivo) to Casa Agave. Detailed instructions and the address will be provided in your welcome email.
  • Taxi fare is 150 pesos (approximately $7 USD)  per person and there is just one taxi counter inside the airport.  Easy and stress free!
