Somewhere between building the life you want and managing it, you lost a little bit of your spark.
You know you need time away from your desk.
Outside. Unscheduled.
Room to wander and wonder about what might be next.
But that kind of time is the first to go when your inbox is full, your to-do list is growing, and life is life-ing.
What if, instead of working harder and pushing through, you chose to listen?
What if you got curious about that feeling in your gut that wants you to lean into something new?
If you refused to create from empty, and instead choose to be fueled by joy, curiosity, and purpose.
What might be possible?
A Day To Dream Into What’s Possible
This daylong retreat is for creatives who…
Pour themselves into their work and want to step back, breathe, and find the spark again.
Identify as having a creative entrepreneurial spirit (even if you don’t make money at it or think you’re super artsy)
Are ready to invite more curiosity, nature, play, and courage into your work and life.
About Our Day Together
We're gathering at a private riverfront home so you can fully show up. Cozy circle inside and outside, no one but our group, the rushing river close by.
10:30 am ~ We'll open in circle with ceremony, guided inquiry, and begin to invite in questions over answers.
What feels wild and just out of reach?
What lights you up and what scares you?
Through transformational dialogue, writing, and dropping into stillness, you’ll get curious about what might be possible when you stop trying to manage the unknown.
12:30 pm ~ During lunch, you’ll be invited to spend time with the river and the surrounding land. Letting the trees, water, and animals reveal what the thinking mind can’t.
1:30 pm ~ We’ll spend the afternoon exploring what might be next for you.
Where would you like your attention and energy to flow?
What might need to shift to support that?
3:30 pm ~ Closing Circle
During the day, you’ll flow between writing, sharing, dropping into guided meditations, and time on the land.

MEET YOUR GUIDES
Hi, I’m Ashley
I’m a clinical social work associate and transitioned out of a career in film to help others find the beauty in their own stories.
As a queer person of color, being out in nature and in community with others has always helped me zoom out from the weight of my own experience to be able to return to it with a renewed sense of strength and softness. I’m hoping to cultivate more opportunities for others to feel safe to do the same alongside me.
I’m Zoe
I’ve spent the last 20 years as both a therapist and a wilderness guide. For most of my career, I worked with creative entrepreneurs in Los Angeles, helping them move through fear and find new ways of meeting life with curiosity and courage. Over the years of guiding in nature, I saw how much deeper the work goes when we’re in nature and in community, not trying to do it all alone.
I love creating spaces where people can bring their whole selves—the grief, joy, fear, laughter—and let the land, the animals, and each other be teachers.

This retreat will be held at a private residence about 30 min outside of Vancouver, WA, and 45 min outside of Portland, OR.
Part of what makes this retreat special is the access to a cozy, curated space, and the outdoors, being able to wander and spend time with the river.

Your wonderful self, layers, sunscreen. The weather in July can be sneaky, warm in the sun and cool in the shade, with sprinkles of rain at times, so dress like you're ready for it all.
We will be checking the forecast as we get closer and will provide a checklist of what to bring.
-
There will be light snacks on hand, think fruit, granola bars, water, and tea.
Please bring a lunch and some extra snacks to keep yourself nourished during our day together :)
-
There will be cell service but we will ask that you put your phone away, and if you are feeling brave, on airplane mode for out time together.
Part of this experience is putting away the phone; your mind and body will thank you!
-
The trail itself is about 1.5 miles one way with about 500 ft of elevation gain.
It’s a moderate hike with rocky footing.
We will start our day by circling up in the trees and then begin to climb steadily to a ridge with views.
-
This is for anyone who wants a space to explore what might be calling them forward. For creatives, artists, entrepreneurs, healers, and visionaries. It’s a day to be held in community and be in reflection.

Both are great. Most people come solo and leave having made real connections. But if you have a friend, partner, or colleague who needs this as much as you do, bring them. There's something powerful about going through a day like this with someone you already trust, and then watching what shifts for both of you.
