Imagine spending 5 days in the magical landscape of the high desert in Carefree, Arizona. Join me at Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center, to awaken your senses, ignite your imagination, and connect with like-hearted women. Allow yourself to experiment and create without expectation or judgement, and bring out that inner kindergartener who loves to play with art materials. We will focus our attention on creating a visual story, both through SoulCollage and journaling in our handmade books.
We welcome new SoulCollagers too. If you're new to SoulCollage, you can begin your deck at this retreat.
We’ll create and explore and discover and relax.
This retreat is for YOU. Self-care is so important, and you deserve some “Me” time!
Our time in the studio will include building our SoulCollage deck, and creating a hand-made art journal. We will be tuning into our intuition and creating cards, making a hand-made journal, and playing with various art materials to embellish both our cards and the pages of the book.
Your art journal will be constructed from one large sheet of high-quality watercolor paper, which will become a one-of-a-kind 16-page book with flaps, pockets, hidden tuck spots and more! There will be places to write, doodle, dream, play, and put words to our cards.
And the studio is open for you 24 hours, so you can visit and create any time of day or night.
