With a sense of spaciousness and generativity, we will awaken our imaginations, take some risks, seek beauty and inspiration in our natural surroundings – all with the goal of letting our creative juices flow. You need not see yourself as an “artist” – in fact, we especially welcome “novices.” We offer a welcoming home for anyone who wants to (re)connect with their creative urges.

What shape waits in the seed of you to grow and spread its branches against a future sky?

This retreat is offered as a space in which we can ignite that creative spark. It might be lying dormant, ready to awaken and, with some encouragement, be ready to burst into growth. With a sense of spaciousness and generativity, we will awaken our imaginations, take some risks, seek beauty and inspiration in our natural surroundings – all with the goal of letting our creative juices flow. You need not see yourself as an “artist” – in fact, we especially welcome “novices.” We offer a welcoming home for anyone who wants to (re)connect with their creative urges.
Drawing on principles and practices of a Circle of Trust® retreat; through large group, small group, and solitary reflection, we will explore how we might awaken and nurture our creative potential. We will explore how limitations impact us, the “loosening” that might be necessary for creativity and growth and the intersections and tensions that arise as we hold both boundaries and a sense of expansiveness. Practicing the Courage & Renewal approach, your facilitators offer an invitation to connect with others as we each engage in the inner work necessary to tend the seed of your creative spirit.
