The Living Artist
Workshop + Retreats
“The holistic approach to the creative life…”
The Living Artist Workshop and Retreats offers Creatives a powerful metamorphosis within their life and practice. Over the course of a week, amidst the mountainside of a quaint village in Northern Italy, or the inspiring, bustling Los Angeles, or the other-worldly beauty of Cape Town, South Africa, Artists will embark on a life-changing journey within, utterly transforming their creative process, liberating their authenticity, leading them to create the great works of their life. Artists also have the option to extend their stay with a week-long artist residency.
“It’s time to move from creative codependency, the need for validation from others that disempowers you as an artist…”
Threading together creativity, spirituality, and psychology, our holistic approach to the creative life and process equips artists with powerful, lifelong tools through The Creative Life-Cycle™ approach, utilizing ancient, intuitive, ritualistic, and practical techniques and exercises to recover the artist’s innate power and truth, so they can get to creating the work they were born to bring into the world.
“Becoming is about reconnection to your innate truth and rhythm…”
Allow this work to guide you back into alignment with the artist you were truly born to be.

“There are no two souls that I entrust in the mastery of this work more than the women behind The Living Artist and The Creative Life Cycle. What we have here is the culmination of years of dedication, practice and exploration within the realm of creativity. In all of my own personal study of the topic, I have not found such a well-rounded and fluid expression of how creativity works on both a practical and dare I say, “spiritual” level in regards to one’s personal creative journey. It is with profound joy and excitement that I recommend this workshop and school of thought to all creative beings, regardless of their experience.”
Italy
The Villa Emma rests on a hillside, situated in a historic mountain village in the Piedmont lower-Alps of North-West Italy, where herders, chestnut harvesters, and hemp dryers started their activities 1,000 years ago. Hosting between 8-10 artists, the Villa is a combination of beauty, striking architecture, and design from the pre-art nouveau era, an irresistible well of inspiration as well as a peaceful mountain haven.

Inside this notoriously bustling city of artists and dreamers a community of conscious creatives gather within the nurturing walls of El Nido (the nest) to deepen and enrich their creative processes.
