I'm soooo excited to announce a brandy-new idea...I'll be co-coordinating a women's painting retreat this fall!
It was five years ago that attending an Ignition Academy Workshop with Martha Pitcairn helped me to re-awaken my love for painting and open to compassion at a new level.
I'm so honored that today, Martha and I are teaming up on a new offering, for the first of its kind Lake Wallenpaupack Creativity and Freedom Retreat on Friday October 19-Sunday October 21.
This weekend retreat put on jointly by the two of us will be an exploration of compassion, creativity, kindness, freedom and gentleness all in the context of a beautiful lake house setting in supportive community.
Retreat days will be filled with soul-nurturing time, space to breathe, meditative painting sessions (Yes! on BIG canvases), coaching sessions, group workshop time, connections with new friends, quiet moments by the lake and delicious healthy food.
If you have the itching feeling that you could use more space to breathe, please attend. If you long to stretch and grow more into your own skin, please attend. If you want to explore a creative, spacious, kind part of yourself, please attend. If you want a break from the hard working, perfectionist side of you, please attend. If you aren't sure why and think maybe you are crazy to do so but you want to come, please attend. Spaces Limited. Register Here.Schedule Overview
