retreats to nourish your creative genius

 

Connect to the wild success within you

In your daily life it can be so difficult to give yourself the time to ideate, reflect, and envision a future version of yourself. 

In my experience and through my work in The Art School though, this kind of space and inner work is just as important (I would argue more important!) as the actual tasks needed to achieve your big goals. 

When you join me on an Art School Retreat, you will connect to the wild success within you, nurture your creative genius for your next big goal and receive coaching that will help you take yourself and your work to the next level.

DO YOU WANT MORE FOR YOUR LIFE?

FOR YOUR CREATIVITY?

FOR YOUR SOUL?

 

YOU CAN HAVE IT (EVEN IF YOU DON’T BELEIVE IT, YET)

A common desire I hear from people who first come to The Art School, is a desire for MORE.

And not just in a sense of achievement, recognition, money (although this are GREAT!). People are thirsting too for more freedom, more aliveness, more meaning, more purpose.

The experiences that happen at an Art School Retreat will set you up for having MORE. Without Compromise. Without Grind.

Imagine this…  

Genuine Connection with Yourself to

Unlock Your Creative Potential.

Imagine cozying up in a comfy chair.  You’ve got your favorite cup of something warm and delicious. Journal in hand.  And through the group coaching during the retreat, you get to know more fully, the real you. The real you that wants to be seen in the world (but that is still afraid), the real you who wants to create more and live more fully (but you’re not sure how yet), and the real you who wants find kindred spirits who have similar mental roadblocks but who are also committed to breaking through them in search of more. 

This is what a group coaching and journaling session at an Art School Retreat is like. You leave the session feeling enlightened about yourself or something that has been holding you back, feeling confident that even though you don’t know all the steps yet you can still achieve that big goal. 

Your Goals. Your Terms.

Have you ever noticed when you set a big goal for your life, there’s a part of your brain that instantly pops up with a million questions or potential roadblocks? Things like…

“You’ll have to give up sleep to have time to chase that dream.” “You really can’t have both X and Y.” “You don’t even know how to X, what makes you think you can do this?”

We all have the inner voice.  But I can tell you through my own inner work, and after coaching people for over a decade, there are ways to override your brain into believing you can achieve it all. You can have sleep but also reach that big goal. You can have a family and also a super successful business.  You can make art and also make a lot of money with it. 

You can reach your goals, your way. Without sacrifice. Without exhaustion. Without squeezing blood from a stone. 

The lovely flowers in this picture are just a little taste of the delights you’ll experience at an Art School Retreat. The delight and a beautiful reminder to surround yourself with beauty and what gives you joy on your way to achieve your goals. 

 

Nourish your soul (and your body!).

When people leave an Art School Retreat, they feel nourished.  Of course their soul is nourished from everything you’ve read this far about an Art School Retreat.  But also, we eat well!  I hire a private chef for most meals, so that you can nourish your body with food that feels good and tastes delicious. 

Another way you will nourish your body is by enjoying as much rest as you need. Whether you decide to room by yourself or share a bed, you’ll have access to quiet spaces around the retreat location and be welcome to sleep as much as you’d like.

We’ll take such great care of you, so that you can focus on connecting with that inner creative genius of yours.

A Community of Creatives to Support You Beyond Your Wildest 
“Impossible Dreams”. 

t can get so lonely to go after your impossible dreams. The world, your own inner critic, sometimes the people in your life won’t see it.  They can’t see it, because it’s yours. 

Yet, in the pursuit of MORE, of Impossible Dreams you can also experience darkness, grief, rage. Even though this is part of the human experience, it’s hard.  How do you create the mental fortitude needed to keep going? How do you continue to believe in your creative goals and wild, impossible dreams when it gets hard?

One of the best ways I’ve found is by surrounding yourself with other gorgeous souls who get it. Finding a comunity who has capacity for compassionately witnessing, accepting, and holding an unconditional, loving space for the full sprectrum of the human experience, including deep feelings of loss, lostness, grief, and fear.

These kinds of generous souls, the kind of souls who attend an At School Retreat  will help you support you on your journey, and lift you up through dark nights of the soul. 

This picture was taking at The Art School Mastermind retreat in April 2023 and was the collective vibe of the magic these creative geniuses wanted to embody, while on the journey of achieving their “impossible” goals.

i won’t sugar coat it, but i will give you a place to believe

There are times that believing and working towards MORE is terrifying. Whether that’s more money, more rest, more soul, more creativity, more time with your family, anything you want.

There will be plenty of voices, in the world and in your own head, that chime in to say MORE isn’t possible and who are you to think it is? 

And when you attend an Art School Retreat, you get the master keys for opening the door to creating more, and the tools you need to succeed with your goal despite the critics, inner voice, responsibilities in life, and your own lack of belief.

HAPPY ART SCHOOLERS

I've returned to The Art School multiple times because of the results I keep getting.

The energy, the up-leveling, the coaching. These things have been essential nutrients that have fueled recovery & success. I’m so excited to see what continues to happen! I love the people in The Art School. I love the 1:1 coaching. I love that there’s a special connection that flows through the group. The support. encouragement. Leah goes above and beyond and continues to coach the best out of me and see greatness in me. I loved seeing the others in the group achieve & step into their greatness. It’s inspiring. I had many take away’s in The Art School. So many things like: “What if it were easy?” and “What if you were there?” I really love thinking big – beyond what I know. There really is no limit. On a scale of 1-10, The Art School is a 10!

I have never had so much fun or learned so much about the workings of my own creatvitity!

The Art School was THE most magical experience I’ve had. It was like coming home to the warmest embrace, where you know you are loved, and seen, and heard. And where you got to be wholly and holy you even as you were asked and guided and tickled toward being even MORE you. Being part of this group, knowing I had worked on my own stuff enough to BE part of this group, was so miraculously validating again and again. And the friends I’ve made… priceless. Leah is magic personified with a heart of gold and a mind like a trap and the wizardry of knowing just the right thing to say or to just sit and listen with a knowingness that zings straight to your heart. I have never had so much fun; I have never learned so much about my mind and heart and the workings of my own creativity in such a short span of time. I am forever grateful and will forever be willing and wanting to work with and be a part of anything that Leah does from here forward. Leah’s magic is so powerful because she uses it to help you see and then wield your own magic.

I gained the clarity that I wanted for my big goal!

I had a new goal and couldn’t decide if it was something I really wanted or if I was fooling myself. Because it was a big step, I wanted to explore my motives. And since the usual rational methods didn’t work for me, and since Leah uses a creative, intuitive approach that speaks to me very much, The Art School was a logical choice. In The Art School, I enjoyed the use of the power of imagination and the use of the unusual. I also loved the consequent imprint of small-but-big-impact changes and fresh perspectives. The Art School helped me tremendously. I could gain the clarity I wanted, and discovered that my goal was a goal that came from my soul. It also gave me lots of useful insights and techniques that I integrated in my life. On a scale of 1-10, The Art School is a 10 for sure! Being immerged in an intuitive energy with the space for the impossible was very enriching experience. I still am integrating the insights and discoveries I gathered.
