I am excited to share with you this amazing opportunity to get away and participate in a retreat that is more like a creative spa treatment for your soul! Not only is the location – a beach! – amazing, but just check out the instructors and workshops!
Nurture Your Authentic Creative Heart
at
CRAFT: Creating Reflective Art for Transformation
Do you make enough time to care for yourself, to know yourself and
to embrace your unique strengths, struggles and story?
That's what CRAFT is all about: carving out time to nurture your heart and soul in a most special way. You’ll tell your truth, and generate compassion and acceptance of exactly where you are right now. You’ll build on your strengths to gain the skills to keep expressing yourself fully and explore your life as you move into your future.
Creating art about your heart's desires, losses, fears and triumphs is key to bringing self-awareness, comfort and freedom to your world.
Brought to you by
An intimate, luxurious, boutique, multimedia ART and SOUL retreat at the
Annenberg Beach House
Santa Monica, CA,
November 11-13, 2011
You’ll spend a magical weekend focused on embracing who you truly are and gaining the skills, techniques and tools to use our craft to understand yourself more deeply on an ongoing basis.
THE INSTRUCTORS:
While you’ll be learning amazing techniques, styles, tips and techniques in every workshop, these are not cookie-cutter sessions – you’ll be challenged to dig deep, learn about yourself & personalize your project to reflect who you are and who you want to be.

You are definitely on track with this workshop. I hold an all-inclusive sculpture class each summer and provide the students with everything they need for the week. I wish I lived on the west coast sometimes since I would love to take this workshop if time permitted. Thanks so much for posting. I'll pass the word.
