Feeling Stuck? Overwhelmed?
Welcome to Your Creative Reset
Step away from the demands of everyday life and immerse yourself in creativity. These retreats blend intuitive art, somatic movement, and meaningful connection—guiding you toward self-discovery and renewal.
Next Retreat Dates: March 21-28, 2025
Join us for a retreat designed to help you quiet your racing thoughts, tap into your creativity, and rediscover the joy of self-expression.

No artistic experience is required—just an open mind.
Your Plan for a Transformational Retreat
Step 1: Arrive at a Creative Mountain Farmstead
Set on a picturesque farmstead in Marshall, North Carolina, this retreat space is designed to spark creativity. With a cozy farmhouse, a peaceful treehouse, an inviting barn-turned-gallery, and a dedicated art studio, every corner of this space fosters artistic exploration. The surrounding mountain landscape and wood-fired pizza oven for communal meals add to the warmth and inspiration you’ll feel as soon as you arrive.
Step 2: Let Go and Create
Through intuitive painting and somatic practices, you’ll learn to quiet your inner critic, embrace self-expression, and create freely—without fear or perfectionism. The retreat’s open and welcoming atmosphere allows for deep artistic exploration, whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or reconnecting with your creative spirit.
Step 3: Reflect, Connect, and Renew
Between guided reflection, nature walks, and meaningful conversations, you’ll have space to integrate your experience and recharge. Whether you’re gathered by the fire, journaling in a quiet nook, or simply breathing in the fresh farm air, you’ll leave feeling grounded, inspired, and creatively renewed.
