A Women's Art Retreat

for self-discovery,

reflection & creative renewal

No artistic experience required

There comes a moment in many women's lives when something begins to shift. The roles we've carried, the routines, the constant movement outward... slowly make space for deeper questions: Who am I now? What part of me is asking for attention?
What wants to emerge in this next chapter of my life?

Words are not enough to answer those questions.

This is where reflection, creativity, and symbolism can gently guide us inward.

What is our Symbolic space?

Is the inner world where emotions, intuition, memories, dreams, imagination, and personal meaning can be explored through images, symbols and creativity, rather than through logic or words alone.

Throughout history, human beings have used symbols to make sense of life, to navigate change, to heal, and to find answers to the deepest questions of the human experience.

Circles, patterns, sacred geometry and colour, appear in ancient traditions worldwide -not as decoration, but as ways of expressing emotions, transitions, inner experiences, and the connection between the visible and invisible.

Swiss psychologist Carl Jung studied symbols, dreams, and mandalas across cultures and found that certain symbols naturally emerge during periods of personal transformation, helping people express what words can not. He believed symbols can reconnect us with overlooked parts of ourselves, making creativity a pathway to deeper self-awareness.

A unique two-day immersive experience where creativity and exploration will open new pathways to imagination, intuition, and emotional depth helping you connect with yourself in a more conscious and authentic way.

Reopening Your Symbolic Space is a retreat designed to help women reconnect with their inner world through guided reflection, visualization, inner exploration and creative self-expression. We are all creative, you don't need to have artistic experience.

Your conscious and unconscious worlds will meet through the creative process, allowing both questions and answers to emerge naturally.

How will we do it?

Through a series of exercises, I will guide you to enter your inner world, uncovering shapes, colours and symbols that feel personally meaningful, and gradually developing your own symbolic image. We will use grounding, visualization, intuition, expression and connection to help us through the creative process.

Offered to intimate groups of 10 women. Payment information will be sent out after submitting the following form:

A bit about me

My artistic journey has taken many forms over the years from design, video production, professional photography, and digital art to even ice and snow sculpture. Eventually, life led me toward community-engaged art, muralism, and self-expression facilitation.

This is where I discovered my purpose. For the past 15 years, I have dedicated my work to creating spaces where people can express themselves, connect with one another, and reconnect with who they are. Since 2014, I have worked with thousands of participants of all ages, guiding creative processes from mandala-making, to large-scale community murals that carry deep messages, invite reflection, connection, and self-discovery.

Alongside this work, I have been on my own journey of self-discovery for nearly a decade. In recent years, I have expanded my practice through studies in Art and Consciousness, exploring the quiet symbolic language that helps us better understand ourselves, our experiences, and our inner world.

Welcome to a creative and safe space, conceived to be calming,

emotionally grounding, and unexpectedly clarifying.

No artistic experience is required.

Our retreat will be held at my studio:

An intimate atmosphere, surrounded by silence and nature, in the beautiful Chelsea.

You will leave with:

✨ A series of personal artistic explorations in different art techniques ✨ Your unique final symbolic artwork ✨ Creative reflection tools you can continue using on your own ✨ And, most importantly, a deeper sense of connection with yourself ✨ No previous art experience is needed. Only curiosity, openness, and a desire to explore.

✨You don't need to arrive with answers✨

✨Just a willingness to listen inward and create from an honest place✨
