How will I join the retreat?
After signing up, we will share the private zoom link for this event.
All you need to do is click the link on the day of the retreat and you'll be IN!
Will we be critiquing the art?
No, we are not in favor of critiquing artwork in general. We don't find it therapeutic or
supportive of the art maker.
We will share and process in small groups to receive feedback and
inspiration as you go through the process.
Can I use something other than acrylics?
No, for the specific process we are doing in this event, acrylics are necessary.
We love all mediums but acrylics offer a quick dry time and ability to build up layers that we need for this experiential.
What if I miss some of the live class?
We will record the entire session both days. If you miss anything, you can
watch the recording afterwards.
We do not offer refunds on the retreat because you will receive the call recordings.
Do you teach techniques?
Yes, we will be teaching you drawing and painting techniques that will help you create an image you feel proud of while also learning to listen to the wisdom of the image and trust what wants to happen.
