September 12!

IMAGINE . . .waking up in a gorgeous house near the beach, coming downstairs in the morning light to a lovely continental breakfast of fruit, yogurt, pastries and hot beverages. You relax with your coffee or tea on the porch, or take a walk down to the beach to greet the day.

Soon, you gather with the group in our spacious living area and open your new art journal, surrounded by high quality art supplies, spa water, and snacks — and you dive into Brené Brown’s Gifts of Imperfection curriculum guided by 2 highly experienced and down-to-earth retreat leaders.

For the next 3 days, you are unplugged, invited to relax and take thoughtful, intentional risks within the safety of our group. You have now joined a heartfelt community of other seekers, growing into your authentic gifts, letting go of hustle and cultivating your creativity and true voice.

You leave the retreat refreshed, renewed, and energized to reenter your life! And while it is common to have tears when you leave, you know that you have gained lifelong connections and a set of skills that will serve you and all who encounter you going forward.
