the retreat
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
- Picasso
Join us for a long weekend at majestic Lake Tahoe to rediscover your inner artist
and learn how to turn your life into a work of art.
This one-of-a-kind retreat is your permission slip to break a few imaginary rules
and reclaim your creative birthright, so you can thrive in all aspects of your life.
Take a break from your busy life so you can deepen your connection to yourself,
your partner, and your world in playful new ways.
