A Retreat with
Community + Creativity = Wild Bliss
How many times have I heard at the end of a workshop “Can’t we just spend the night?!” Well this time you can! And, even if you go home to sleep you can come right back first thing in the morning and keep the creativity rolling!
This weekend is meant to be a time of spaciousness, sharing, learning and continuous creativity! A time to let the New Year slowly open up while you nurture your Soul, Heart and Body
Here’s what we’re cooking up!
A weekend of open studio time to ease into the New Year with creativity and connection.
Vision Boards / Vision Shrines / Word of the Year
Create your own MoonCircles®/ArtJournal hand-made book
SoulCollage® creating + card readings
Art journaling prompts + practices
Intuitive Painting
Check out the schedule below — different activities will happen and you are free to participate, or not, you may want to spend every minute in the studio and skip the other offerings — that’s ok — you may want to paint all night and sleep all day — that’s ok too!
Space will be limited to 12 and after the initial friday night painting ceremony we will arrange the studio so each person has their own dedicated table or painting board area for the rest of the retreat to come and go as you please and be able to leave your work in progress.
Camping in my backyard is free, bring your own tent. There are some private rooms available in the house for a small fee. Nearby air bnb is available as well as lodging with a “sister-retreater” in her Lake Worth home for a small fee.
