Make Creativity A Habit Retreat

Details

Sunday, October 11 | 10am-4pm Join Traci from Make Creativity a Habit for a full-day creative retreat designed to help you build sustainable, joyful creative habits through playful exploration and hands-on making. This retreat is not about perfection or creating finished masterpieces—it’s about practicing creativity in small, approachable ways within a supportive creative community. Throughout the day, participants will explore a series of guided activities that encourage experimentation, curiosity, and creative confidence. Using an abundance of supplies in some unexpected ways, we'll try techniques such as yarn painting, mini collage, sgraffito with oil pastels, meditative watercolor exploration, and other playful creative exercises designed to spark inspiration and lower creative resistance. Whether you’re a seasoned artist, a curious beginner, or simply someone craving dedicated time to create, this retreat offers space to slow down, reconnect with your imagination, and discover practical ways to make creativity a regular part of your life. Lunch, snacks, and plenty of supplies are included, along with materials to take home so you can continue your creative practice beyond the retreat. If you are interested in this class, but cost is holding you back, we offer tuition assistance scholarships!
