"I am not what happened to me, but what I choose to become" -Unknown, often attributed to Carl Jung
It's easy to think we love ourselves, but a lack of self-love can show up in sneaky ways, for example:
​
​
~ Do you sometimes lack patience with yourself?
​
~ Do you secretly think you're not really that important?
​​​​
~ Do you criticize or look down upon yourself?
​
~ Do you tend to feel anxious or despondent?
​
~ Are you stuck in the same old patterns?
​​
​
These are just some ways our lack of self-love can manifest.​
Would you like to change the way you think and feel about yourself?

More about the retreat
In this warm and welcoming retreat, in a small group of 4 women, I will facilitate a path for you to gently open up to how infinitely lovable and worthy you are.
​
​
With a healthy dose of fun and laughter, using powerful tools for transformation, we will take steps to develop our self-compassion, self-acceptance, self-love, and sense of self-worth.​​
​​​​​​​​
All parts of this retreat are optional. You can engage in as much or as little as you'd like.
​
​​​
​
We will enjoy:
​
~ Intuitive Art and Journaling. (click for more info)
Intuitive Art (drawing, painting, and/or collage and then journaling about our experience) increases our self awareness, helps us process thoughts and emotions, and gives us "aha moments" by helping us access our subconscious and our higher self.
​
I will guide you in Intuitive Art to specifically help you develop and expand your capacity for self-compassion, self-acceptance, self-love, and sense of self-worth.​​
​
Scribbles and mess are welcome! ​There is no right or wrong way to do intuitive art, and no end result that is better than another.
If you have ever felt a preference for one color over another (even in your clothing choice for the day), you can do this!
​​
~ Energy Work I will teach you how to offer simple and gentle but powerful energy work sessions.
During the retreat, we will give each other sessions to help us unwind and let go of blocks that are getting in the way of our self-compassion, self-acceptance, self-love, and self-worth.
​
~Guided Meditations to connect with Divine energy and the nature around us.
​​​
~ Chanting This is an ancient tradition that brings us into our bodies and opens our hearts while simultaneously connecting us with Universal Energy. It is fun and easy and does not require any singing talent. (Our voices blend and we cannot distinguish any one particular voice anyway!)
​
~ Sharing circles to deepen our connections (or you can stay silent and hold space)​​​
​
~ A half-day excursion ​to the gorgeous and iconic Flatirons mountain range and enjoy lunch (included) in the historic Chautauqua Dining Hall (from 1898).
​
~ A Friday evening excursion: First Fridays Art Walk! We will visit artists’ studios and creative businesses in the NoBo Art District. Meet painters, sculptors, photographers, designers, artists and artisans along our stroll through the area, featuring live music, demos and special activities.​
More peace and joy is just on the other side of your commitment to yourself

About me
I believe we are each here to make the best life for ourselves by getting out of our old stories, getting in touch with what we really need and want, and moving steadily towards it.
I was not always able to see myself as special or valuable. Now I know my infinite worth in my bones, not just as an intellectual concept. And it brings me more peace and joy than I knew I could have. That is why I want to help other women to get to this place of deep acceptance and self-love.
​
On this retreat, I will share tools with you that have helped me and my clients greatly in our journeys.
​​​
Join me for this opportunity to decompress, have fun, and connect to ourselves, nature, the Divine, and other soul-driven women in a private small group retreat in beautiful Colorado!​
