there are a ton of art options out there! retreats, workshops, day-long, 2-day, weeklong, sleepover, commute, blah blah blah. Maybe it's an explosion of them, maybe I'm just noticing. I have to say that each & every one owes a tip of the hat to Tracy & Teesha Moore. They were the pilgrims, the upstarts, the bold & brave who went first and figured it out. Thank you.
here's what i look for in an art retreat: an nice outdoor setting, all-inclusive meals/lodging (classes too, for a bonus!). As far as classes are concerned, a good mix of levels - basic to has-some-experience. i think if you have all these things on deck, the connections and experiences and friendships will form naturally and with strength. my belief is that when we reach a bit past our comfort zone, or our level of expertise in a craft or artform, then we open ourselves to other new things. the other stuff doesn't need to be contrived or planned...it will just happen. poof.
so give me a cabin in the woods, some good bug stuff, good food, a river/ lake/ ocean, and a full moon. bam! I'm yours.

Let's build it. Somewhere between you and me. Between us we know enough peeps who would like to participate. We could start with just one teacher and a small group - 8 to 10... I say this but I have no energy right now to do it. Sorry about that. Putting the idea out there and let's see what happens...
I am yours. :)
already in motion...jump on the train whenever you feel the motion of commotion!
