Costa Rica Retreat 2021

New Year, New Energy, New Power!

Fearless Abstract Painting 5-day Retreat

November 14 -19, 2021
Costa Rica
Imiloa Institute

In 2015, after a radical change in relationships, diet, geography, and several months of intensive yoga teacher training, I uncovered that I wanted to teach a painting retreat in Costa Rica. Foolishly, I cast this dream aside because I thought I had all the time in the world. 

My father's unexpected death earlier this year brought a lot of things to the surface for me. More than ever, I became intimately aware of how short our time here really is. As a result, I began to honestly analyze my soul's deepest yearnings, and my life's unique purpose.

I recognize that my creativity blesses lives, the universe is abundant (and loves expansion!), and that the time to check things off my "bucket list" is now. Yes, even during a pandemic.

Offering this retreat is a dream come true for me, and I am thrilled to share this joy with you. Thank you for your encouraging messages, and to all of those who answered my "call" to bring this dream to a reality.

Commission Painting | New Moon

12/15/2020

 
Picture
New painting! A large-scale commission painting for a very special client. The client saw a small painting I posted to Instagram, and commissioned me to paint a similar, much larger rendition. The new moon comes early for me this month! A reminder, and an invitation to set deliberate intentions; sowing them just like the way we would sow seeds in a garden. Nurturing, trusting and allowing the process to eventually sprout, root and grow.​

Commissioned Painting | Manhattan Beach, CA

A commissioned painting is both an honor and a privilege . I delight in creating a custom piece tailor made to suit a client's home. I begin the process with gratitude and I get really, really excited about the blank canvas. It's full of infinite possibility! I trust that the process will evolve effortlessly as a result of aligning myself with the creative flow.​

Painting Your Way

12/11/2020

 
Picture
It's inevitable. We paint who we are. The way I navigate the canvas is the way I navigate my life. Painting is a catalyst for coming into alignment. Even if you don't consider yourself an artist, or particularly creative, I still believe painting can do wonders for you! Painting introduces you to yourself. The decisions you make on the canvas are in tandem with the way you make decisions in your daily life.

What Do You Think About This?

12/9/2020

 
Picture
I am so excited about this large-scale commissioned painting. Navigating this surface today to find the balance and the beauty between areas of calm and distress, feels to me like a kind of moving mediation. Breathing, observing, allowing, embracing and letting go of what I think "should be" vs "what is".

Every painting I make is evidence that fear can be conquered. ​
