For over a decade, Manifesta Safaris has
demonstrated how camaraderie and confidence blossoms
for women when balanced with fun, relaxation and
shared new experience. Our mantra is "We make
girls out of women."Beginning in 1997, founder,
Bev Sanders designed and led Las Olas Surf Safaris
for Women in a small village on the Pacific Coast
of Central Mexico. Las Olas is the "World's
Premier Surf Safari for Women" introducing
thousands of women to the sport and lifestyle of
surfing.Artista Creative Safaris for Women was born
at the request of the guests of Las Olas. When asked
what they would like to learn as well as surfing,
they discovered painting was a favorite choice.
Artista is located in the beautiful seaside hamlet
of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Here, women escape into Bohemia
with art instruction and inspirational activities
specific to the area. Artista's newest creative
safari, offers women the opportunity to design and
produce their own unique fashion. Artista creative
sessions are guided by Carmels' foremost artists
and designers.
At the core of Manifesta is its commitment to helping
guests reach their full potential as well as provide
a life altering experience. Recently featured in the
CBS Morning Show, O, the Oprah Magazine, Manifesta
attributes success to their attention to detail. An
experienced, nurturing staff maintains a seamless
rhythm for guests, from booking to departure.
Artista guests are inspiring, accomplished women
of all ages and backgrounds. Ages range form 24 to
70.

"An ad for Artista called to my heart
and soul. The staff at Artista, are all gems and made
me feel very special with attention to every detail,
sometimes going far beyond my expectations in attentiveness.
Attending the Artista Creative safari was a turning
point in my life. I am no loner suppressing my passion,
and I have found the light and the end of the tunnel."
" I was relieved to find that most students
had no experience. I have to admit, all of the paintings
looked pretty good. We may not be ready for the Getty,
but it's a start. The folks at Artista promised a
unique experience and they delivered."
"Painting has really helped me to take
life slower and to make sure I start enjoying the
things that we hold in our hearts. " I just bought
my own studio because this girl just wants to paint."
"What a gift!"
"I work a lot and was reluctant to take
the time to do this. I had no formal painting background.
The learning experience was enjoyable, and the company
of the other women was wonderful. A great experience!"
"I never thought I could do it."
"I'm sending my daughter to the August
session!"
