Creative Exploration Retreats

Creative Exploration Retreats provide a longer time period to explore and delve into concepts, ideas and questions.  Having a little more time creates an opportunity to get your head out of the daily rush of the world and spend some time with your soul.  It’s a great space in which you can invest in yourself, and also hang out with other fellow travelers.  The retreats are full of many opportunities for deep introspection, but are also balanced with a healthy dose of laughter and fun.

What retreats are available?

The retreats provide opportunities for Creative Explorations on a large range of subjects.  All available retreats are shown below.  Just scroll over the pictures and the title of the retreat will appear.  Click on the picture of the one you’re interested in, and it will take you to a page with a detailed description of the retreat.  And if you are interested in exploring an idea, concept, or question that is not listed, you are welcome to contact me with information about what you’d like to explore and I will be happy to create a retreat tailored to your specific needs.

What supplies are needed? 

All supplies that are necessary will be provided.  The only items which someone might be asked to bring would be personal mementos  or photos.  A large selection of supplies will be available, but of course, anyone is welcome to bring anything they would like to contribute to their creative expression.

What will happen?

At the retreat, there will be a variety of activities and experiences.  There will be a time for interaction as a large group, and also as smaller groups.  I’ll speak on specific themes and lead several Creative Explorations on aspects of the retreat’s theme.  There will also be times for internal reflection and centering along with of a good amount of laughter. If you’d like to see a sample retreat agenda, please click here. 

Who can attend a retreat?

Anyone who wants to attend! I will hold retreats that are open to anyone who registers.  Depending on the size of the space where the retreat is held, there may be a limit as to the number of participants.  If that is the case, the number of participants that can register will be listed.

I am also available to lead retreats at another location of your choosing.  If you are interested in having a retreat for yourself and your friends, or a group of people, I will be happy to coordinate that with you.  You will be able to choose what retreat you would like to do, and the length of the retreat can be altered to meet the needs of the group.

What is the cost of the retreat?

Pricing will be contingent on the size of the group and whether travel for me is involved.  Please feel free to contact me and let me know what kind of retreat you are interested in scheduling and we can talk about the details at that time.  Retreats that I schedule myself will have the price listed on the registration form.

Are there spiritual retreats?

Absolutely!  Being a minister for many years, I have led all of the retreats listed below with a spiritual aspect added.  My retreats are not doctrine heavy, so they are appropriate in many spiritual settings. I am also open to creating an entire retreat on whatever spiritual theme your group is interested in exploring.  Contact me with the specifics and I can create a retreat for you.
