This is me, playing around and making a face for a photo session. Many years ago, I used to make faces like this one, and worse. I was a victim of my thoughts and prey of misery and despair. I spent a lot of time hiding, and lying on my couch, doing very little. I was not a happy camper on any level. I got good and tired of that, and one day I realized that it would do me little good to change any of my outside stuff; what I had to do was change my insides. So I began taking classes, and little by little I learned the tools that allowed me to begin to live a life that looks like this:


Laughter, peace, joy and a productive life in which you have the power to create good. That is what I am offering with my Creativity Retreats. If you are experiencing limitation or lack in any area of your life, then this is the retreat for you.

Imagine spending three days in a place rich with history, a place that is filled with examples of creativity: art created by local artists on the walls, and your room with a bed covered with a handmade quilt or crocheted bedspread. The very location of this retreat is filled with examples of creativity! They took an old abandoned former hospital and turned it into a lovely art and retreat center, perfect for us to do our work!

At this retreat, you will learn proven principles that millions of others have used to

Learn the power of your words and thoughts
Learn how to transform your thoughts
Move out of your old paradigm and into a new one
Formulate a new vision for your life and learn how to transform that vision into reality
Here are the details: October 15, 16 and 17th at St. Marys Art and Retreat Center in historic Virginia City, Nevada. The price is an incredibly low $350, which includes your single or double occupancy room for two nights and all meals.

Join us. You will be glad you did.

The people who attend this particular retreat seem to fall into two main categories....either they need a rest...a break from life...or.....they are stuck in some way, feel like they are caught between a rock and a hard place with a job or a relationship or some other situation.  If this applies to you, then you are a perfect fit for this retreat!  I also get a lot of people who have never attended retreats before, so let me just tell you a bit about what a retreat is, at least as I see it.  My retreats are a time and place for folks to both get away from the rigors of every day living, and a way to introduce new skills into the art of living.  These skills are things you will be able to use the rest of your life.  One of the advantages of going on retreat is that it allows for a new perspective.  Part of stuckness is that we see and do the same things every day.  Going to a new environment jump starts the creative process and you will begin to come up with new ideas.  This is the beginning of the creative process.  Then the fun begins.  There is a definite creative process in life.  If you are alive you are creating....wouldn't you rather be creating a life that you enjoy and that serves you well than the alternative?  That is what this retreat is about.

What will happen at the retreat?  You will arrive at St Mary's early Sunday afternoon.  Check in time is 1 pm and we begin at 3, so that is the window.  You will get checked in to your lovely room (St Mary's has awesome rooms with awesome art) and be able to familiarize yourself with your surroundings.
Our first session together as a group is a get acquainted session.  This is a great time for bonding, making new friends, and opening up to what wants to emerge during the weekend for you in your life.
We close that first session at 6 and meet for dinner at 7.   The rest of the evening is free time, to journal, rest, go for a walk, chat with folks.  We meet bright and early Saturday morning for breakfast at 8.  9 am we group together and meditate, then begin our next session, which lasts until noon.  12:30 is lunch, then free time to explore and play till 3 pm when we meet again for another session!  Dinner at 7, then rest.  I will be available during any of the free times for a private one-on-one chat if you desire, just let me know.  Sunday morning is breakfast at 8, then meditation, and closing ceremony.  I will have a gift for you!
