A 7-night creative retreat at Mar de Jade, this experience brings together Wild Writing®, SoulCollage®, and a nourishing community of creative, soulful women. Days unfold by the ocean with time to make art, connect with others, and return to yourself.
Wild Writing® is a transformative writing practice that invites you to keep your pen moving and connect with your authentic voice. In circle, you write together without critique or feedback. It is a practice of deep listening and a way to come home to yourself.
SoulCollage® is an intuitive collage practice that supports exploration of your inner world through images. It gives voice to different parts of yourself while helping you access your own deep wisdom.
This retreat is for women only.
