🌕 Full Moon & Feathers 🪶
Our 2026 retreat theme has been announced!
You’re invited to a weekend inspired by the magic of the Full Moon & Feathers—a time to gently release what you’ve been carrying and return to a lighter, more natural version of yourself.
As we gather under the Harvest Full Moon, we’ll create space to let go of what no longer feels aligned… and soften into a sense of ease, creativity, and connection.
Through intuitive painting, movement, and heart-centered practices, you’ll be supported in unburdening what’s heavy and rediscovering the lightness that’s already within you.
During our painting workshops, you’ll create an intuitive, multi-layered feather-inspired piece—your own visual expression of release, lightness, and personal meaning.
Step into a world where art, wellness, and personal reflection joyfully weave together.
You’ll explore Kristen’s joyful, expressive approach to intuitive painting … where creativity flows freely, releasing pressure or perfection. A space where color, connection, and play become your language, and your whole self is welcomed onto the canvas.
You’ll experience Kerry’s gentle, supportive yoga, soulful meditations, and creative practices … each one an invitation to soften, to breathe, and to return to balance within yourself.
Together, we’ll guide you in staying present, in listening deeply, and your imagination can play again. A space to feel, to create, to reconnect… and to remember the beauty of simply being. A place where you can embrace your magic and unleash your JOY!
We’ll attune to the gentle energy of autumn and the Harvest Full Moon—through yoga, painting, nourishing meals, and meaningful connection—creating space to release what feels heavy, soften into lightness, and realign with what feels true.
Save your spot—Early Bird pricing is available for the first 8 participants!
