You are invited to join me this November 1-3 in Nashville, Tennessee for a Women’s Workshop & Retreat:
Water Media on the Waterfront
Will you take a moment to imagine with me?
Imagine yourself admiring waterfront views rimmed by fall foliage finally bursting forth in crisp orange, burnt sienna, and golden yellow.
Imagine meals crafted with flavors just as colorful as the view.
Imagine happy hour as the sun sets, spreading its rays across the sky as you listen to the gentle rhythm of the water lapping against the shore.
Imagine yourself capturing these blissful moments in watercolor while you form new friendships with your fellow attendees.
Imagine a weekend with no errands to run, no meals to make, no calls to answer, nowhere to be but right where you are.
Does that sound like the deep breath, the needed pause, the creative renewal that your soul needs?
If so, I hope you’ll join me for a weekend of recreation and restoration!
And even if you can’t commit to an entire weekend retreat, you can still enjoy the Saturday workshop of painting, resting, and friendship on November 2.
Both morning and afternoon sessions are beginner-friendly, and no matter what your level of experience is, you'll definitely be able to have fun playing and making art with the colorful materials provided.
The Retreat Site
Your getaway for the weekend is this gorgeous lakefront home. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, wraparound decks, wood floors, and warm decor, you’ll feel peace and release the moment you arrive. The abundance of natural light and stunning lake views will inspire and reignite your creativity.
