rEWILD WITH US
Join Laurel Justice, artist and psychotherapist, and Gina DeMillo Wagner, author and truth-teller, for three days in Lake City, Colorado, where the air is clear, the internet is sketchy, the mountains are fiercely gorgeous, and your soul can finally unclench. This isn’t about being “productive” or making something polished. It’s about getting quiet enough (and maybe laughing hard enough) to hear that small, tender voice inside that remembers who you are. We’ll write, play with art supplies, drink good coffee, feel all the feels, and remind each other why creativity matters.
wHO THIS RETREAT IS FOR
This retreat is for anyone feeling stretched thin, creatively stuck, or quietly craving a deeper connection with themselves. It’s for overachievers tired of performing, caregivers who’ve lost touch with their own needs, artists and writers who’ve misplaced their spark, and seekers who know there’s more to life than the daily grind. You don’t need to call yourself “creative” — just come curious, open-hearted, and willing to show up as you are. If you’re ready to laugh, rest, reflect, and rediscover your wild, wonderful self, this space is for you.
