Escape the Overwhelm. Reconnect with Your Creativity.
You’re always thinking, always doing—but when do you get to just BE?
Your mind races with ideas, to-do lists, and responsibilities. It’s exhausting. You crave space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and express something that doesn’t have to be productive or perfect.
At Squirrel Brain, Chickadee Soul, we create that space for you. Through intuitive painting, somatic practices, guided meditations and more, reconnect with your creativity and with your self.

I LOVED the retreat and it exceeded my expectations! — a great balance of indoor and outdoor time, physical movement to start the day followed by open ended quiet creative time in the afternoon, and heart to heart evening dinners at night! LOVED it all!
