This is Where Listening Sharpens
In mark making, the practice is restraint. Waiting. Not pushing form before it's ready.
The retreats ask something different. Each one works with a different quality of listening. Each one sharpening something the next one needs.
Where You Are in the Listening Matters
Some women are just beginning to hear themselves. Others can hear something but want to move through what's in the way. Some are ready to see what is forming clearly enough to paint it.
Each retreat meets you exactly where you are.
All retreats are two-day non-residential retreats held on consecutive days, allowing time to return home or stay locally between sessions.
Each Retreat Includes
Gentle guidance and embodiment prompts throughout both days. Nature-held space outdoors beside the pond in Culpeper, Virginia. All painting materials for your retreat medium. Nourishing time for yourself, unhurried and without expectation.
Tuition
$595 per retreat.
A payment plan is available. $300 at registration and $295 due 14 days before your retreat.
One scholarship seat is reserved for each retreat. If finances are a concern, please reach out.
This space was made for you too.
What Happens After You Register
Once you register through HoneyBook you'll receive a welcome email with directions, what to bring, and how to prepare. Everything you need to arrive feeling supported and ready.
Outdoor retreats are held at the retreat space on my property in Culpeper, Virginia. Directions are shared privately in your welcome email.
Weather & Rescheduling
All retreats are held entirely outdoors. In the event of severe weather or unsafe conditions, the retreat will be rescheduled. You will be notified as early as possible, no later than 24 hours before your retreat date.
When rescheduling is necessary, you will be offered two options. The following Thursday and Friday for those who have weekday availability. Or transfer to the next available retreat date if a weekday does not work for you.
Your registration transfers automatically. No additional action is needed until you confirm which option works best for you.
You won't find Google reviews or testimonials here.
If something in you feels drawn to this, that feeling is enough. Trusting it before you have proof, before someone else confirms it for you, is the first step of the practice.
