Creative activities relieve stress. Like meditation, they invite us to pay full attention to the present moment. Making art develops our capacity to generate out of the box solutions. Meanwhile, we form new connections between brain cells by attending to novel or complex tasks.
In our Saturday Morning Sanctuaries, we use multimedia materials in visual art explorations with a focus on process and experimentation. We approach art, just like movement: in the spirit of practice and discovery. These art retreats are times to play and spaces to kindly connect with our hearts, bodies, minds, and each other. We welcome all levels of art experience - from none to a lot!

These art retreats have removed many of the creative blocks that have hindered me for too many years!

Your art retreats are refreshing and inspiring!

I thoroughly enjoyed this [Fire themed retreat] with Susan, where we explored and shared all sorts of simple things and passions that light us up, especially important to recognize as we have started the season of longer nights. A small, safe, online group, a perfectly curated box of supplies safely delivered to my front door, amazing and sweet and cute little notes with inspiration and opening instructions leading up to the retreat.
