✨🌴 ART OASIS 🌴✨

A FREE Week-Long Online Creative Retreat

Make Creativity Your Sanctuary.

THE 2025 RETREAT IS OVER – ART OASIS WILL RETURN IN FALL 2026!

If you’ve ever wished for a week just for creating, playing, and being still, this is it! Art Oasis is your invitation. There's no pressure. No expectations. Just art-making, connection, and joy.

Join me and dozens of soulful artists from around the world for a week of playful art-making, heart-centered conversations, and inspired connection. Whether you’re sketching for the first time or seasoned with paint under your nails, this is your invitation to slow down, get messy, and lean into the joy of creating.

What you'll Experience

  • 4-5 fresh creative sessions every day for a total of 35+ workshops: lessons, demos, art-play, and soulful conversations.
  • Cozy Conversations – real and relaxed, heart-opening talks with artists about their winding journeys, their creative practices, and what makes their spirits sing.
  • Gentle daily prompts + mini-inspirations to keep your hands moving, even on days you feel uninspired.
  • A private, nurturing community space (our Oasis!) to share your work, ask questions, celebrate others, and find belonging. (Hosted on the Circle platform – not on Facebook!)
  • Replays, lifetime access, and a huge, exclusive bonus bondle from your teachers if you grab the Magic Carpet All-Access Pass—so you can return whenever you want.


All at your own pace, from wherever you are in the world!
