Women’s Creativity Retreat

in Moab, Utah October 8-12th | Early Bird $1,250

This retreat is an invitation to step away from the distraction of everyday life and into a slower, more intuitive, more embodied space.

Over 5 days in the wild beauty of Moab we will gather in intimate circle of women to reconnect with the currents that wants to move through each of us.

A 5-day immersion in Body, Land, Imagination, and your Creative Muse.

Your Creative Retreat

Come back to your body.

Come back to your imagination.

Come back to the part of you that knows how to create without trying.

Come back to your muse.

Held in the redrock desert of Moab, Utah this retreat is an invitation to step into a slower, more intuitive rhythm, one where your body, the land, and your imagination begin to speak again.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, creatively blocked, or simply longing for something more alive and meaningful, this space is for you.

We will explore:

Somatic practices

Slow, intuitive movement. Listening to the earth and your body as a source of guidance and wisdom.

Creative exploration

Writing, photography, movement, dance, painting, or anything that calls to you. No experience needed.

Solo wandering

Unstructured time in nature for insight, solitude, and connection to the living world.

Vision questing

Intentional time in the landscape to receive clarity and inspiration.

Dream work

Engaging the dreamtime as something meaningful, alive, and profound.

“Creating one thing in the river feeds those who come to the river, feeds creatures downstream, yet others in the deep. Creativity is not a solitary movement. That is its power. Whatever is touched by it, whoever hears it, see it, senses it, knows it, is fed. A single creative act has the potential has the potential to feed a continent. “

— Clarissa Pinkola Estes

No Performance Needed

There is no pressure to be “good” at anything. Come as you are. No expectation to turn your experience into something productive.

Instead, this is a space to:

  • Slow down enough to actually feel yourself again

  • Create from instinct rather than expectation

  • Feed your endless wonder

  • Let your body, not your mind, lead the way

  • Talk to nature again, and listen

Many women arrive feeling mentally full but creatively disconnected. By the end, something wilder, more creative, and more alive begins to return.

What Makes This Retreat Different

This retreat brings together body, creativity, the imagination, and the living landscape in a way that’s hard to access in everyday life.

We’re not just talking about creativity, it’s about creating a whole different relationship to the earth, your muse, and your creative spirit.

  • Listening to the land, not just being in it

  • Creating without needing a result

  • Letting images, dreams, and sensations guide you

  • Spending real, unstructured time in nature

  • Courting inspiration, hunting vision, gathering creativity

  • Finding portals on the land to help you revive your creative force

It’s about remembering something you already know in your bones.

The Land

Moab is a place of breathtaking beauty. Vast sky. Red rock. Quiet expansiveness.This environment naturally invites a different pace. A different kind of attention. A different relationship to place, space, and time.

I have been roaming these lands for 20 years— first as an archaeologist then as an artist and life-long wanderer and know the most incredible spots in the area. I will be guiding you into my favorite spots during the retreat.

“A woman’s creative ability is her most valuable asset, for it gives outwardly and it feeds inwardly at every level: psychic, spiritual, mental, emotive, and economic. The wild nature pours out in endless possibilities, acts as birth channel, invigorators, slakes thirst, satiates our hunger for the deep and wild life.“

— Clarissa Pinkola Estes

What You May Walk Away With

New friends. Creative flow. Vitality. Star light. Fox fur. Canyon wren. A deeper trust in your body and intuition. Access to your inspiration. A replenishment of your wild Self. Eyes full of wonder. Instinct and poetry. Love of cottonwood tree. A feeling of being more grounded and more spirited. A fuller love of life. New ideas. A feeling of belonging to something wild, magnificent, and deeply true.

Who This Is For

This retreat tends to resonate most with women who:

  • Feel creatively blocked or unsure how to access their unique expression.

  • Are tired of overthinking and want to reconnect with their body.

  • Feel drawn to imagination, intuition and depth.

  • Want something real and soulful, not performative or surface-level

  • Looking to connect with like- minded & like-hearted souls and find meaningful connections.

  • Long to commune with the earth, the animate world, and their creative spirit.

If you’re looking for something highly structured or outcome-driven, this may not be the right fit for you.

If you’re craving slowness, space, depth, intimacy, and reconnection, this is that.

A Glimpse of a Day

  • Dream sharing and morning movement as light touches the red rock

  • Creative practice in open space

  • Time alone in the landscape

  • Afternoon group exploration, sharing, and rest

  • Dinner

  • Starbathing

    There is a rhythm, but also spaciousness. You won’t be rushed or overfilled.

Reconnect with your body, your dreams, your intuition, your creativity, and your deep wild life.
