There are invitations… and then there are experiences that quietly change you.

Tucked along the sugar-white sands of Seaside, this creative retreat is a gentle step away from the noise and into something far more meaningful. You’ll settle into a charming boutique hotel just steps from what many call the most beautiful beach in America—where the mornings begin with soft light over the water and the evenings linger a little longer than expected.

Over the course of our time together, you’ll experience many thoughfully planned and carefully designed moments.

And perhaps most unexpectedly… friendships. The kind that feel easy, unforced, and lasting.

No two retreats are ever the same. Each one is thoughtfully planned, just for you. Each experience is shaped by the people who gather, the season, and a bit of magic that seems to find us every time.

Come as you are. Leave refreshed, inspired, and maybe just a little more like the best version of yourself.

This retreat is designed to gently pull you out of the rush of everyday life and into something slower, softer, and more intentional. It’s a place to quiet the noise, sit with the sound of the ocean nearby, and rediscover the simple joy of creating — not for perfection, but for the beauty of the process itself.

You’ll have unhurried time to reflect, to journal, to walk along the beach, and to gather with women who arrive as strangers and leave as something much more. There will be meaningful conversation, shared meals, and the kind of connection that lingers long after the weekend ends.

Every detail is thoughtfully prepared so you can simply arrive and be cared for — beautiful accommodations, creatively designed experiences, and little touches that make the entire weekend feel effortless and special.

This retreat was created for the woman who has been giving so much of herself… and is ready, even just for a moment, to receive.

Come as you are.
Create freely.
Rest deeply.
Leave inspired.

There is a place for you here — just steps from the water, and right where you’re meant to be.

What the Days Will Feel Like

We’ll gather for painting sessions, creative experiences, and relaxed time together—along with a few thoughtful touches and surprises waiting for you along the way. Your materials will be provided, so you can simply show up and begin.

If the weather is kind to us (and we’re hoping it is), we’ll also spend time painting outdoors—capturing the beauty of Seaside in the most natural and inspiring way.

A Gentle Note
Because we’ll be moving between a few different locations throughout the weekend, we’re not able to guarantee full ADA accessibility at every painting spot. We want you to feel fully informed as you plan your experience.

This weekend isn’t about rushing or checking boxes.
It’s about creating, connecting, and enjoying a few days that feel like a breath of fresh air.

We can’t wait to welcome 10 very special ladies who will be richly blessed by this weekend.

There’s something quietly magical about Christmas… especially when it’s created by hand.

Nestled in the heart of Seaside, this intimate weekend retreat is an invitation to slow down, gather close, and create something truly meaningful—your own collection of hand-painted Christmas cards.

You’ll settle into a charming boutique hotel just steps from the sugar-white sands and emerald waters, where the air feels softer and time seems to linger. Mornings begin gently, coffee in hand, as inspiration drifts in with the coastal breeze.

Throughout the weekend, I’ll guide you through watercolor techniques and thoughtfully designed holiday artwork—each piece created to help you craft a beautiful set of Christmas cards that feel personal, timeless, and full of heart. All supplies are provided, along with curated designs and inspiration, so you can simply arrive and begin.

But as with all the best things… it’s never just about the painting.

There will be moments of laughter around the table, conversations that unfold naturally, and the quiet joy of creating alongside others. Evenings may bring a walk through twinkling streets, the glow of a bonfire, or a few unexpected touches that make the weekend feel like a gift in itself.

You’ll leave not only with a collection of handmade cards ready to send into the world—but with the feeling that you’ve stepped into the season in a more meaningful way.

A little slower.
A little softer.
And filled with something worth sharing.

Christmas Card Watercolor Retreat | Seaside, Florida
A Festive Weekend by the Sea - November 5-8, 2026

There is something especially magical about the coast during the holidays… a little quieter, a little softer, and filled with that gentle kind of joy that makes you want to slow down and savor it all.

This retreat is designed to feel like stepping into your own creative holiday tradition—where twinkle lights, watercolor, and meaningful moments come together in the most delightful way.

What the Weekend Will Feel Like
This retreat is all about creating something meaningful—both on paper and in memory.

You’ll be guided through watercolor sessions focused on designing and painting your own handmade Christmas cards—pieces that feel personal, beautiful, and far more special than anything you could find in a store.

We’ll gather for creative sessions, light-filled moments, and a few thoughtful surprises along the way. Many of your painting materials will be provided, along with festive touches and goody bags that make the weekend feel just a little extra special.

If the weather cooperates, we may even step outside for a bit of coastal inspiration—because a seaside Christmas card has a charm all its own.

This weekend is less about “getting everything done”…
and more about slowing down long enough to create something that truly means something.

A few days of watercolor, warmth, and just the right amount of holiday magic.

We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you. 🎄

There’s something about summer in Georgetown that feels like it was made for slowing down… for long conversations, soft light, and creating something beautiful with your own two hands.

This retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise and into a space where creativity can breathe again.

Set in the charm and quiet elegance of Georgetown, our Summer 2026 Watercolor Retreat is designed as both a creative escape and a gentle reset. Over the course of this experience, you’ll be guided through watercolor painting in a way that feels approachable, inspiring, and—most importantly—enjoyable. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or returning to something you once loved, you’ll find your place here.

But this retreat is about more than painting.

It’s about mornings that begin slowly, coffee in hand, as ideas come to life on paper. It’s about gathering around a table with women who were strangers just days before—and somehow feel like old friends. It’s about laughter, storytelling, and those quiet, meaningful moments that tend to stay with you long after the weekend ends.

Throughout our time together, you’ll experience a thoughtfully curated blend of watercolor sessions, creative exploration, and simple, beautiful moments woven in between. There will be space to learn, space to rest, and space to create without pressure.

Because sometimes, the most meaningful thing you can do… is give yourself permission to pause.

This isn’t just a retreat.
It’s a return—to creativity, to connection, and to a part of yourself that may have been waiting patiently for you to come back.
