What You'll Experience

Reconnect with your creativity in a relaxed, welcoming space.

Create meaningful Mixed Media projects with simple supplies 

Explore thoughtful journaling and creative reflection.

Discover fresh inspiration through guided creative experiences.

Leave with meaningful artwork, fresh inspiration, and a renewed desire to keep creating.

More than an Art Class

This isn't just about learning an art technique. 

It's about slowing down, making something with your hands, exploring your creativity without pressure, and creating alongside others who simply want to reconnect with what inspires them.

By the end of the three days, you'll have meaningful artwork, fresh inspiration, and the confidence to keep creating long after the retreat is over.

What's Included 

3 Live 90 Minute zoom sessions.

Join me for three inspiring evenings of creativity, reflection, and meaningful mixed media projects. Each session builds on the last as we explore new ideas together.

Guided Creative Experiences

Enjoy a blend of mixed media art, journaling, creative prompts, and simple reflective exercises designed to spark inspiration and help you reconnect with your creativity.

Supply List & Workshop Replay

You'll receive a simple supply list before we begin, and each session will be recorded so you can watch the replays if you miss a day or want to revisit your favorite moments.

Welcoming Creative Community

Connect with others who believe creativity is about expression, curiosity, and creating from the heart. There is no pressure to be "artistic," only an invitation to explore.

What Creative Hearts are saying: 

"I have always loved creating, but after life got too busy, I forgot. Donna's supportive, loving approach was like putting oil on my rusty creativity."   Elaria H.

“I discovered Donna through her free 3-Day Retreat and joined Creating with Heart soon afterward. I quickly realized it was so much more than creating art." Sandi F.

“Creating with Heart reminded me that creativity isn't about perfection. It's about reconnecting with myself."  Susan W.

“Donna creates such a welcoming space. I always leave feeling inspired and excited to keep creating."  Dani H.

A Few Questions You Might Have

Not at all! This retreat is designed for everyone, whether you're picking up a paintbrush for the first time or returning to creativity after many years.

What supplies will I need?

Simple supplies you probably already have, including paper, watercolor or acrylic paints, a few collage papers, scissors, glue, and a black pen. A complete supply list will be emailed after you register.

What if I can't attend live?

No worries! Every session will be recorded, so you can watch the replay if you miss a day or want to revisit the experience.

We meet live on Zoom September 1–3 for 90 minutes each evening                                  4:30–6:00 PM PDT/7:30-8:00/ PM EDT 

Is the retreat really free?

Yes! The entire 3-Day Creating with Heart Retreat is completely free. My hope is that you'll experience the joy of creating from the heart, whether or not you decide to continue with Creating with Heart afterward.
