Hi, again. Hugs xoxoo
I felt compelled to send another message on creative despair…and hope.
Remember: If you can’t make art…they’ve won
Let me know how I can help.

VIRTUAL RETREAT FRIDAY, APRIL 25:
ARE YOU EXCITED??
In February, 2026, we will be returning to Tulum, Mexico, in the heart of the Mayan Jungle, one of our new favorite venues! And in April, 2026, we will be having our first-time-ever creative pilgrimage into the Himalayan Mountains for a 10-day retreat and very special international collaboration.
Start dreaming, and mark your calendars for May 1!
And yes, there are still TWO SPOTS LEFT IN FRANCE this June, and TWO SPOTS LEFT IN COLORADO this August! We would LOVE to have you!
Many retreats have been known to sell out before they open to the public.
Get the registration link 24 hours before it goes public! *Retreat alums automatically get early access!
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!!
On Friday, April 25, you can get a little taste of a retreat–without buying a plane ticket!
For 2 hours, let me immerse you in the retreat experience–which is more than just a workshop in a pretty place, but an opportunity to do the deep work of listening, connecting, and collaborating with your muse. Close the door, close the window browsers, put the phone in the other room, and emerge refreshed: with a new creative spark, momentum to energize your spirit, and camaraderie with your creative community.
Whether you’ve retreated with us before and need a little spring boost, or you’re still in the dreaming phase, come see what all the hype is about.
AND–everyone who registers for the Virtual Retreat gets EARLY REGISTRATION ACCESS to the 2026 retreats.
It’s a win-win-win.
Questions? Reach out!

Join us for 2 hours on Friday, April 25, to go deep into your work in the truest sense of a retreat. Close the door, close the window browsers, put the phone in the other room, and emerge refreshed: with a new creative spark, momentum to energize your spirit, and camaraderie with your creative community.

For 2 hours, let me immerse you in the retreat experience–which is more than just a workshop in a pretty place, but an opportunity to do the deep work of listening, connecting, and collaborating with your muse.
