Honey and the Muse: Embodied Practices for Creative Longevity and Nourishment

The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.— Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic

Creativity is a celebration of the soul — an ever-present spark waiting to be ignited. This weekend retreat invites you to reconnect with the liberating, communal energy of your creative spirit. Through song, movement, storytelling, and play, we’ll explore practices to access inspiration and express your unique voice as a gift for the world.

Together, we will:

• Find the still point by grounding in breath and somatic awareness to unlock the wellspring of clarity, intuition, and appreciation.
• Discover “Ink from the Wild” and turn everyday moments into creative expression through sensory exploration in writing, poetry, and song, honoring the muse as an act of resourcing and nourishment.
• Embrace group vocal improvisation and free expression in folk choir as a way to move through resistance and uncover new creative pathways.
• Weave animacy by tapping into myth, archetypes, and personal stories to reimagine our narratives with freedom and ease.

This retreat welcomes anyone seeking to awaken their inner creative spark and bring more imagination, freedom, and purpose into their life. 

No experience is necessary, only curiosity and a willingness to explore.
