Visioning Retreat 2025 | Schedule + Details

Get ready for a sweet New Year’s retreat.

Please confirm you are coming, I am gathering final numbers! I will also need these three things this week: send me your flight info, your cell number and an emergency contact person with phone number, please!

We will be creating a celebratory space to pursue art as process, as a powerful way to refresh, renew, vision into the new year and wrap ourselves in a kind of wild and wooly wonder.

“All Who Wander Are Not Lost”

We meet the magic of simple pleasure and gather the unseen energies that make mystery to spark a new story.

We call on the mythic moments that will ignite, activate and inspire our inner wisdom, through soft winds and strong storms.

We seek the sweet effervescence of vitality and vision that often surfaces at the start of a new cycle, when the power of possibility is circling

and we are wrapped in warmth…what is ready to unwind, divine and travel along the the pathways of Wild + Wonder!

It is time to align the energies for our curated gathering in January.

I am so excited to share this retreat time with each of you and am busy planning some exciting and nurturing experiences for our retreat!

Expect a perfect mix and several options (at anytime) for each of us who come together – knowing we each hold the energies of the Creative Professional, Artist and yet revel in the simple pleasure of a woman taking space, being with others, meeting over the bounty of a Spiral of Time, with other kindred creatives, in this three plus days.

An amazing opportunity to gather as depth coaches and facilitators in the new year!

• We are shifting energies with intention to co-create an easy, supportive and exciting gathering with lots of space for creativity, connection and sisterhood.
• Our time together is being planned with love and includes creative depth, visioning, focused conversations, time to connect and collaborate.
