The Joy of Art: A Creative Retreat


Are you a creative? A writer? A painter? A knitter? A musician? A crafter? No matter your end product, the love of art and creation is powerful. And, don’t short-change yourself! Whether or not you feel comfortable with the title of “artist,” the creative process is a home for all of us — a place for us to build, experiment, play, and be happy.

Our goal for this weekend is to delve into the joy that art can bring to our lives. We are offering times to try different artistic forms, to work on your own, to be in community. We hope you find some offerings that resonate with your work and your joy!

Friday, there will be multiple minilesson offerings to introduce a variety of art and creative modalities. We plan to include music, writing, collage, painting, jewelry making, and more.

Spend a peaceful weekend in creative community: sparking joy for the creative process with guided projects and time to work on your own creative endeavors.

Expected Events:

(Bring your own creative project to work on throughout the weekend!) Feel free to say yes or no to any of the offerings — how you spend your retreat time is entirely up to you!
