Retreats to Nourish Your Creative Soul
Rekindle Retreat
Summer 2026 | June 12, 13, or 14
Private Creative Immersion Retreats near Denver, Colorado
What is the Rekindle Retreat?
A private 3.5 Hour experience: just you, me, creative energy, and a few unhurried hours at a beautiful, comfortable, natural space about an hour outside Denver.
You’ll slow down. You’ll write, journal, imagine. You’ll walk outside and gather thoughts, materials, ideas, and what calls to you. You’ll make something with your hands.
This is a rare, dedicated space for your creative soul: built entirely around where you are and what you need.
This is for you if…
- You’ve been creatively dormant for longer than you’d like to admit
- You’re in the middle of a transition and need space to breathe and feel
- You’re burned out in a way that apps, wellness routines, and daily processes haven’t been able to touch
- You keep saying “someday I’ll make time for this”. And that someday keeps moving further away
- You want someone genuinely present with you, not a program to complete
- You just need to show up and follow the creative process of discovery
What You’ll Experience:
- A pre-arrival questionnaire to help us plan our time together
- A personal opening conversation: I’ll ask what you’re interested in processing or doing (or I can come up with an idea), and the retreat shapes itself around your answer
- A guided writing and listening experience with layered prompts, open space, no judgment
- A slow walk through the mountain forest of Inspire Ranch and time for gathering, noticing, letting things land
- A hands-on making session with found objects and simple materials where something emerges (often something you didn’t plan)
- A closing conversation to discuss what has come up for you and identify what to carry forward
- Your created piece and writing to take home
– Some details may be able to be customized.
Why Rekindle?
Because the project, personal care, dream, or creative idea you keep deferring deserves intention, focus, and time.
This is a space for someone to be genuinely present with you while you open a door you’ve been standing in front of for months, years, a lifetime. An opportunity to approach one day with slowness, creative intention, soul guidance, and space to move forward.
What Makes This Different?
Rekindle is a few hours of genuine slowness in a world that rarely offers it. You’ll have a dedicated 1:1 guide customizing your experience as you go.
From the moment you arrive, the pace and rhythm change. Through guided creative invitations and a place to let go and be inspired, you’ll experience your heart rate settling, your breath deepening, the particular relief of having nowhere else to be and nothing to perform. Possibilities have a way of opening up in that kind of space.
