Welcome to the 5th year of Believe in Yourself, an inspiring creativity retreat just for you! Join us for an empowering, invigorating adventure, designed by the Creative Spirits team of Susan and Kristi. Refresh your soul, renew your creative energy, be inspired to believe in your own vision and talents as you join like minded folks in the beautiful setting of Blowing Rock, North Carolina - a “nest” in the heart of the Appalachian mountains.
Our theme this year is a Passionate Journey, a perfect metaphor for the passionate journey each of us makes to the heart of our creativity. Powerful! Fun! Girly! Shabby Chic and wonderfully unique.
We'll introduce:
• new products like Glimmer Mist and spray paint (no,
not the stinky kind)
• numerous methods for resists, stencils and masks
• new collage techniques for both paper and fabric
• new sewing wonders from Susan
• new distressing ideas from Kristi
• a feast of exciting elements to pack away in this
precious suitcase
Every detail is designed to pamper and fill you with inspiration. Enjoy 3 days of creative play with Kristi and Susan, exciting vendors, ideas and techniques galore! A juicy kit awaits you with all the essential travel parts, including this darling suitcase. Beautiful room accommodations are provided by the Meadowbrook Inn. To make things fast and easy, breakfast is included. Fun eateries are just a short drive away or join Retreat members at the Inn's lounge for refreshment.
Won't you join us? The retreat is limited to only 50 creative spirits so sign up soon!
