Workshops & Events
Let’s gather and tell our stories.
My workshops and retreats are an invitation to pay attention and be present to the world within and around us. I show up with my vintage suitcases full of words and inspiration and invite you to look inward in ways that will delight your spirit and offer you a way to explore who you are and want to be in the world.
Each workshop I lead includes creative and mindfulness prompts and practices that help us gather evidence of daily life - from the moments of beauty to the messiness that are both part of life. Whether we are writing together, taking photo walks, creating in art journals, or sharing our stories, you will feel supported and encouraged to listen to the voice within. You might even write a poem.
In-person gatherings are slowly coming back, and I’m so happy to be planning opportunities for us to gather. If you are someone who has a group of people that you think would enjoy working with me, please get in touch. I’m available for workshops and weekend retreats and would love to plan something with you.
Here are some current and upcoming workshops and gatherings:
Water Your Soul Retreat
Come along on a journey to water your soul and come home to you.
Watering your soul is about creating space for you, space for your soul care practice, in the midst of whatever life hands you. It's seeking the in-between moments and nourishing yourself. It's saying "Yes" to filling up your internal well, so you can be more present to your life and your loved ones. It's honoring The And Space - the place where we hold the beauty and the grit - and learning the ways you can support yourself in that space.
Registration is open! Come along this fall to my new retreat + shop location in Culver, Indiana for a time filled with creating, connection, and time to just breathe. More details coming soon! Learn more and sign up here.
Dates: October 16-20, 2024
Tell It Workshop Weekend
Tell It is an art journaling + self-care and mindfulness retreat held in my new workshop + shop space in Culver, Indiana.
This retreat is about gathering tools to help you tell your story through art journaling. We will begin to fill a journal with stories and secret dreams and the words you most need. We will explore collage, write, poem, take photos, play with watercolors, and even use my vintage typewriter. I will share peeks into my journals, give you lots of prompts to play with, share my journaling supplies with you, and spill all my journaling secrets. We will also take some time to breathe and be in community with one another making sure we leave our time together refreshed and ready to re-enter out daily lives. More details coming very soon!
Tentative dates: November 8-10, 2024
Kitchen Table
The world begins at the kitchen table.
- Joy Harjo
Imagine we are at the kitchen table with notebooks and favorite pens, hearts open, tea beside us, with time in community to be present and write and connect.
Join me on Zoom for a 90-minute gathering where we will sit side by side and write, share, and show up together. Because we are holding a lot right now. Because I think we need each other. Because creating this space is something I can do.
The Autumn Kitchen Table dates will be announced soon.
