Terms & Conditions for Booking Your Retreat
Please read these terms carefully before completing your booking. By making a reservation for a retreat at The Intuitive Art Hideaway, you agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Booking & Payment:
Full payment is required to confirm your booking and secure your room and painting session slots. We cannot hold the room without payment due to limited availability and high demand. Bookings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
All payments are non-refundable but can be rescheduled, subject to availability, with at least 14 days' notice.
Prices are subject to change without notice, but confirmed bookings will not be affected.
All prices are listed per person in MYR (Malaysian Ringgit).
2. Cancellation Policy:
Please note that we do not offer refunds for any amount already paid. If you decide to cancel or shorten your stay, either before or during your retreat, we cannot refund the payment. No refunds will be issued for a change of mind.
However, we appreciate early communication if there is a change in your schedule, and we will attempt to re-book your room and sessions, subject to availability.
In the event of a retreat cancellation due to force majeure or circumstances beyond Elaine Wong's control, we will promptly notify you and offer a full refund of the retreat cost or assist in rescheduling to another suitable date.
3. Rescheduling & Cancellations by Elaine:
If you need to reschedule your retreat, please contact Elaine at least 14 days prior to your booking. Rescheduling is subject to availability.
Cancellations made within 14 days of the retreat date are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled.
Elaine reserves the right to cancel any trip or part of the trip. In this event, we will provide retreat credit, valid for two years. If Elaine cancels a retreat for any reason, including Force Majeure, Elaine is not responsible for any loss of funds associated with travel accommodations made by the guest.
4. Deposit & Property Damages:
We do not require any deposit during check-in, but we ask that you be responsible for any property, furniture, or tool damages incurred during your stay. Should an incident occur, please discuss it with us.
You may be asked to replace the damaged item or be charged the equivalent cost of replacement. Examples include stained sheets or towels, or broken cups.
5. About The Intuitive Painting Sessions:
Elaine's Intuitive Painting Sessions are not designed for therapy, and Elaine is not an art therapist. These sessions focus on strength-based, self-discovery, and hope-inducing art directives. Unlike therapy, where personal issues are addressed, Elaine’s sessions are about creative exploration.
If you are seeking emotional or mental health support, we recommend finding a licensed therapist before joining our sessions. Although painting can be therapeutic, the experience varies: one may find it healing, while another may focus on playful expression or spontaneity.
6. Accommodation:
The retreat includes accommodation at The Intuitive Art Hideaway, a residential home. The space is cozy and private, but please be mindful of the home environment.
Guests are expected to follow house rules and respect the space and its residents.
7. Health & Safety:
By booking, you acknowledge that you are physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of participating in the retreat activities, including painting sessions.
Please inform Elaine in advance of any medical conditions, allergies, or special needs that might affect your stay.
8. Respect & Behavior:
The Intuitive Art Hideaway is a peaceful, creative space. Guests are asked to respect the environment, other participants, and house rules.
Any inappropriate behavior will result in immediate termination of your stay, without refund.
9. Liability:
The Intuitive Art Hideaway is not liable for any personal injury, damage, or loss of personal belongings during your stay.
Guests are responsible for any damages caused to the property during their stay and may be charged accordingly.
10. Results & Experience:
Elaine makes no guarantees that you will achieve any specific results from your participation in the retreat. However, we will do our best to ensure you have a wonderful and enriching experience.
11. Photos / Social Media:
Elaine occasionally captures photos of the studio home to share on social media for marketing purposes. During your retreat, Elaine may also take photos or videos of your painting process, which she will share with you in a Google Photo Album after your stay.
If you prefer not to have your photo or video taken, please inform us, and we will respect your privacy. However, during group activities, it may be difficult to exclude individuals from group shots, and we kindly ask that you take personal responsibility for avoiding the camera when necessary.
12. Gift Cards:
If you are purchasing the retreat as a gift, please use the gift card option. Gift cards are valid for 12 months from the purchase date.
13. Changes to Terms
Elaine reserves the right to update or modify these terms and conditions at any time. Guests will be notified of significant changes prior to their retreat date

You will have the ArtBnB room entirely to yourself, with quiet access to the studio space for painting, reflection, and rest.
My own home is a short 4 min walk away, so I come by regularly to my “second home” throughout the day. At different moments you may find me painting in the studio, making coffee or tea, sitting down for a conversation, doing gardening, or checking in to see how your process is unfolding.
During your stay I move between roles. Sometimes I am your art guide. Sometimes a host making sure you are comfortable. Sometimes simply another artist sharing the space.
You have privacy and solitude when you want it, with gentle companionship and guidance available when you need it.At times but rare, a local student may come by for a painting session, a volunteer may be staying in the spare room, or a visitor may drop in for a short studio visit, but I will defintely let you know if I’m expecting any visitors.

Situated within the residential terrace houses of USJ 12, Subang Jaya, this house doubles as Elaine’s working art studio. She spends time here regularly, painting, meeting retreat guests, and attending to the quiet rhythms of her art practice and studio life.

The house remains calm and residential in spirit, offering a simple environment for rest, painting, and reflection.
