Before diving into our artist retreats, we revisit a big topic from last week: the pressure to have the “perfect” space before you start creating. Spoiler alert—it’s not true.

From there, we share how our retreats unfolded (with a few surprises), the resistance that came up, and the unexpected creative detours that still held meaning. We talk about the messy, beautiful reality of making space for yourself—physically, emotionally, and creatively—and how art can help regulate, reconnect, and ground us, even in the midst of chaos.

Thank you so much for listening.

If you know someone who needs this kind of gentle nudge, send it their way. The more kind, creative hearts in this space, the better.
