Women's Art Classes, Circles and Retreats
Welcome beloved sister to MOSAIC 2023 women's retreat!
Barbara and I are excited to be your hosts again for a magical gathering.
This is a soul-filled adventure using art, writing, nature, and playful creativity to stretch your body, mind and spirit.
Honor the season of autumn! Energize your soul!
​
You're Invited
Our theme this year is MOSAIC, meaning, we are all pieces of light, assembled together from our upbringing, our education, relationships, family, and our life experiences. At times, we may feel broken and unable to pull it together, overwhelmed and unheard. We might believe we aren't as magnificent as we really are, but we are all a patchwork of color, reflecting something precious and beautiful!
This retreat is for women seeking a creative experience, who love to make a mess, and in the mess - find a "message" and seek wisdom. Perfectionism isn't encouraged here. Honoring what's right for you is celebrated. It's for mothers, daughters, sisters and best friends, it's for wild women, soulful women and wise women -
It's for YOU!

Your Retreat Hosts
Barbara Papamarcos
I am a creative warrior, a worker and a weaver of life’s tales...
I am an intuitive artist using colors and shapes to release life’s struggles into creative energy. My home studio was overflowing and I found a little studio space at the Grafton Arts Mill to continue my practice. Speaking from my soul through the creative process heals me from the inside out.
Kelly Thompson
Painter, teacher, dreamer, and healer with paint...
Kelly is an artist, teacher & Red Thread facilitator who guides women and girls in discovering their creative essence and inner wisdom. She uses Intentional Creativity® as a means to bring form and language to that which is uncovered during the creative process.
What is revealed can be healed through written words, symbols, drawing and painting. Through this sacred journey, women are empowered and develop a deeper connection to their own creative essence and personal medicine to transform themselves.
Your investment in YOU is priceless. If you are longing for a retreat that focuses on creativity, nature, and a safe place to nourish yourself,
THIS is the time to say YES to YOU.
