What makes an artist?

An artist is anyone who creates—who expresses, shapes, and brings something new into existence.
We are all artists in how we move, speak, love, and solve problems. But along the way, we forget. Responsibilities, expectations, and the pressure to “get it right” take over.

This retreat is about remembering.
Remembering that creativity is our birthright. That play is a portal to freedom. That true artistry isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.

Whether you’re a teacher, a SAHM, a lawyer, a business owner, or simply someone longing to feel more you again—this retreat is your invitation to reclaim the artist within YOU.
