What If You Nurtured The Part Of Yourself That Wants To Push Your Creative Edges?

This retreat is open to anyone who is interested in exploring their creativity and cultivating a deeper connection with their creative life force.

Join us in beautiful Brattleboro, VT this fall when the leaves are beautiful and the weather is crisp for an experience that will leave you feeling inspired and revitalized!

You’ll have a long weekend away from your daily life to devote to your creativity, exploring your creative edges through the mediums of glass, clay, paint, movement, sound and food. 

During the retreat you’ll have lots of time in the studio creating, as well as time to relax, connect with others,
and have fun!

Immerse yourself in a group of inspiring, positive, adventurous women and experience a sense of connectedness and community as you explore different mediums. 

You will not be focusing on the technique, but will experience each of these mediums in a way that will help you tune in, let go, and see what happens when you aren’t attached to the outcome. (you just might surprise yourself!) 

We’ve found that approaching your creativity this way opens you up to a whole new world of possibility, a deeper sense of trust in your intuitive knowing, a more embodied presence, and a sharpening of your senses, awareness, and focus that ripples out into your career as well as your entire life.

You’ll leave with your paintings, glass, and clay creations that were made from following your unique creative life force, and a renewed sense of vitality and inspiration. (If you are traveling far, we can also ship them to you).

About your chef:

Jessica Jean Weston is chef owner of Superfresh! Organic Café in Brattleboro, VT, author of Healing Tonics, Juices, and Smoothies: 100+ Elixirs to Nurture Body and Soul, a certified holistic health coach, and doTERRA Wellness Advocate. Weston was named one of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition’s 30 Under 30 Health and Wellness Leaders of 2017. With a BA in Medical Anthropology from Ithaca College and as a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), Jessica has spent her career exploring the broad subject of food as medicine with Mayan healers in Belize, on organic farms, and with herbalists, shamanic practitioners, and more.

Jessica’s personal journey to health navigating a series of food intolerances, as well as what made her feel most vibrant, led her to a non-GMO plant-based diet free of soy, gluten, dairy, eggs and meat. Recognizing that everyone has their own path to explore with different physical, emotional and environmental needs, her goal is to simply share her experiences and knowledge through creating delicious, approachable cuisine, with understanding that no one being is alike (even the same on a different day with different circumstances).

Athletes and creatives when in their greatness are tuned into an optimal somatic flow state where all of their thoughts drop away and they’re completely present and focused on what they’re doing. 

In this state their unique life force energy has connected to something greater than themselves, unleashing an uninhibited expression of that energy where anything is possible and the beauty of what comes through is astounding. 

Accessing this state regularly helps to ignite your creative flow, express yourself authentically, feel more alive and connected to yourself, deepens your self trust, helps you trust your intuitive knowing, increase your awareness and focus, and feel more relaxed with life.

At this retreat you’ll experience an approach using the mediums of glass, clay, paint, sound, movement and food to help you explore your creativity, tune into your creative edges and access your optimal somatic flow state so that you can expand into new experiences of the authentic expression of your creative life force.

We use multiple mediums because you interact with each of them in different ways, challenging you to push your creative edges and giving you a deeper awareness of how your unique life force energy connects with THE greater life force energy, rippling into your entire life and your relationship with everything.

Your creation process through these mediums is a metaphor for life, giving you a deeper self awareness. 

This is for you if you:

• Crave some time to create more
• Are open to new experiences outside of the everyday
• Are excited to connect with other creative women and are happy to share common space with them

This is not for you if:

• You aren’t flexible or prefer a set schedule
• You have no desire to see what’s possible and push your edges
• You don’t like sharing common space with others
