"How about a weekend devoted to play, letting go and getting back in touch with the creativity that flowed effortlessly like it did as children? It’s not mystical, it’s actually quite practical and the strategies I will share will help guide you to create a personal muse and shrine honoring your unique voice."

Our weekend together is more than a retreat, it’s creative immersion. From Friday afternoon to Monday morning, we are together making, playing, talking, connecting with each other and getting to know ourselves, others AND our muses.

​

This is a “must-do” or “should-be” free zone – so you can use all the art materials + techniques to create your muse your way. Your muse can be a doll, butterfly, moon, fairy, moppet, star or whatever speaks to you.

​

We are taking over the entire building AUG 23-26, 2019, so we can paint and play to our hearts desire. ♥

The heart of the matter is creative immersion. Process vs Product. Experience vs Event. Deep Dive vs. Surface Skimming.

What does all this mean? You are considered a valued guest; one who is interested in expanding and strengthening talents, skills and interests with others. By making and creating you get to express feelings and explore new ways of being. In a collaborative circle of belonging, the artist instructor is also giving their expertise, inspiration and guidance. All of this is happening in a secluded nurturing environment where we can all learn, share and enrich the other.

 

  1. JUST BE YOU:  This is a judgment free, non-competitive, just have a darn good time experience. You are perfect just the way you are. 

  2. COMFORT ZONE NUDGES: Allow yourself to expand your craft and welcome the beauty of imperfection. 

  3. DRESS 4 MESS: Bring an apron [or gloves if you’re worried about your hands] because we'll be making beautiful messes!
