Unleash Your Creative Power and Connect with Like-Minded Artists

Join me for a life-changing Spiritual Artist Retreat at the scenic Prothro Retreat Center on Lake Texoma, just a short drive from downtown Dallas. This exclusive 4-day retreat is designed for artists of all disciplines who crave a deeper understanding of their Creative DNA and a stronger sense of community with fellow creatives.

Through a transformative blend of artmaking and mindfulness exercises, you will discover a whole new level of inspiration and purpose in your work. Guided by Christopher Miller, artist, and author of The Spiritual Artist, you’ll delve into mindfulness training, journaling, and painting, all aimed at unlocking your creative potential and freeing you from limiting beliefs.

A $150 deposit is required to hold your space. The remaining fee is due on October 15, 2024.

Build A Seeded Journal with Crystal Nelson

Crystal Nelson will be leading a session where we will be making a Seeded Journal. She will show us how to incorporate intuitive collage into our daily art practice and how to add mark-making with non-traditional objects. The result will be an art journal that will make a great artifact of our time together at this year’s retreat.

Asemic Writing and Acetate with Melanie Brannan!

Melanie will guide us in using acetate as a surface for asemic doodling, combining abstract marks with Fine Line Applicators and acrylic paint. Acetate is transparent and works well with acrylics, which adhere easily and dry permanently. By layering the acetate over a sheet from your journal, we’ll create a layered, multi-dimensional piece.

The exercise begins with spontaneous, non-verbal marks on the acetate, tapping into the Spiritual Asemic Writing practice.

Zowza. April's retreat was so much fun: from Trust Walks to Asemic Repetition Exercises to a Kinetic Movement Group Painting, there was so much to do.
