Gather, Retreat, PAINT & Repeat

One of the most important ways I practice self care is by retreating into my studio for some uninterrupted time to simply paint.  It’s the one thing I feel I don’t do enough–and I plan on changing that and want to help you do the same!

I am hosting a little stay at home/studio FEARLESS® Painting retreat and would love for you to join me!! 

You don’t have to book a flight, find a hotel, or even leave the comfort of your pajamas!! You just need to commit to one day of pure PAINTING bliss in your own home/studio–and I will shower you with support, love, and all the ritual goodness that you would receive at one of my own live retreats via the powers of the internet!  

You can finally finish that painting that’s been staring at you forever–or start a fresh new art journal–or simply show up with your art materials and see what happens!  That’s what I’m going to do!

So find a babysitter–forget about housecleaning–and lock the doors!!  Gather, Retreat, PAINT & Repeat is coming soon! Get ready to paint FEARLESS® with me ALLLL day!!!

Looking forward to our next 

Gather, Retreat, PAINT & Repeat! 

~Stacy M. from California, USA

Thanks, Connie!  I really enjoyed the retreat.   My birthday was on Saturday and I really enjoyed having a creative escape to celebrate the day.   I am thinking about making it an annual tradition….Your suggestions to follow the juice and paint like a 5 year old helped me when I got stuck and I was also really impressed that I could actually finish a painting in about 6-7 hours.
~ Theresa S. from Texas, USA

 I just wanted to send you a message to say thank you so much for hosting the gather, retreat, paint and repeat day! It was not only fun, but cathartic and something I really needed…Thank you so much for all the work you do in bringing your fearless painting process to the world! I know it has helped so many people like me to embrace the possibility that we might actually be artists after all, somewhere deep down in our spirit. It just needs the encouragement and supportive environment to blossom, and you provide that through all that you do. Thank you!
