We know you’ve got spark
You shine! You are driven, passionate, and creative. You tap into your creativity everyday, whether it’s to build your business or to feel alive and full of fire. You are motivated, strong, and courageous. And when you talk about what you are passionate about, you could talk all day long!
If we were to place a bet, we’d say your creative spark burns pretty darn brightly.
But once in a while, with all the demands in our lives our spark can sputter, and maybe even snuff out entirely. Just like our bodies need sleep and care in order to stay healthy, our creativity needs love and attention as well. It needs to be nurtured, and so do you.
Dyana is not for the faint of heart. She’s spent the past 12 years instigating entrepreneurs and teams to complete seemingly impossible projects—we’re talking major brand overhauls, six-figure product launches, full-fledged manuscripts. She serves up straight-from-the-hip advice in online magazines and columns all over the ‘net…in a past life, she was an idiot-savant microsurgery tech, worked for the Olympic Games organizing committee, and was personally approached by the FBI with a recruitment invitation—for classified reasons – on two separate occasions. Her Woke Up Knowing sessionTM is not to be missed!
Jessika is a community-builder extraordinaire. She has taken Oh My! Handmade and turned it into one of the most important resources for the handmade community in the world. During the retreat, she will help you reconnect with your playful creative side, and get you exploring new creative possibilities! You won’t want to miss her workshop.
Alexandra works with and is trusted by powerhouses such as the fire-starting business guru Danielle LaPorte, marketing and business ass-kicker Marie Forleo, and master intuitive Hiro Boga. Over the course of the retreat, she will help you reconnect with your authentic voice and get you writing yourself into creative motion! You do not want to be left out of this opportunity.
What better way to reignite your creativity
than hanging out in an inspiring place with other fiery and creative women. We’re planning a getaway to recharge ourselves, and we’d love for you to join us!
Join us for four amazing days and nights at the beautiful Hacienda Dona Andrea, nestled in the gorgeous Ortiz mountains, just outside Sante Fe, New Mexico from May 3 – 7, 2012.
We’ve got the whole place to ourselves and it is seriously stunning!
This is the retreat where you get to unplug, re-charge, and re-spark your inner creative fire
It’s a place where you will push past your limits and grow as a creative entrepreneur in a safe and positive environment. It’s a nurturing place for creative women to learn from and share with each other. It’s where you’ll dig deep inside, figure out what makes your creative spark your own, and then relight that sucker! It’s a place to clown around and experiment with new ideas and skills. It’s where you’ll get to be a kid for a few days and just play. It’s where life-long relationships and friendships are born.
Is this retreat for you?
Yes, if you
- are a woman who wants to jumpstart her creative engine
- are a creative entrepreneur who wants to network in an amazing non-’icky’ way
- are feeling the need to nurture your soul, your creativity, your being
- love being creative, but sometimes cannot find the time
- want to reconnect with your inner voice
- are open to new ways of exploring your creative expression
- need reminding to put yourself first once in a while
Not if you
- let fear get in the way of finding your authentic creative expression
- do not wish to meet other women who are going through the same things as you
- think creative play is uncool
- feel you have enough business support systems in your life
- don’t want to share, laugh, and have a life-changing experience
You’ll come away from this retreat feeling fully rested, fired up, inspired, and recharged
You’ll have met 14 other amazing women, started new friendships, and built deeper connections to others. You’ll have learned things about yourself and your creative potential (hint: it’s unlimited!). You’ll pick up a new skill, and you’ll be able to use techniques taught in the daily workshops to tap into your creativity again and again. And you’ll have amazing discussions with like-minded women who are going through some of the same struggles and successes as you.
This isn’t the place to go if you want to attend seminars and listen to “experts” drone on and on about what you should be doing to make your business better. There will be no banquet halls at a cheap downtown motel where the coffee tastes like it was made last month and the carpet from the 70s is more interesting than the presenters!
This is an inclusive and cooperative learning experience. Oh yeah, and did we mention it’s at the most beautiful hacienda ever?
This retreat is all about sharing and learning from each other
Instead of lectures, we’re creating conversations and inclusive workshops.
Along with the daily workshops given by Alexandra, Dyana, Jessika, Deanna, and Tania, there will be many opportunities to discuss and share experiences with each other. We’ll be helping each other bring out our most creative selves.
In the spirit of this sharing, we ask that you bring certain things to the group:
- your successes and failures, experiences that have taught you a lesson that you can share
- a tool or technique that you find useful for exploring your creativity – be ready to teach it to the group
- your willingness to participate in an engaging manner in discussions and brainstorming sessions
What you will get out of this retreat
