Full Moon Creativity Retreat

Mavens’ Haven, Lucile, Idaho
April 27-29, 2018
Presented by Renée Silvus, Luminaire
Mediterranean Cuisine by Eva Samaha

Bring yourself and a project, challenge, or goal to Mavens’ Haven for a weekend of support and dedicated work time.

Where are you in the creative process? You may be:
* incubating something new that needs clarity and space to arrive
* looking for inspiration on something in your life
* gathering information on a topic/project and wanting focused time
* feeling stuck in the middle of a project, relationship, or life stage
* ready to implement a project and wanting feedback and accountability
* needing support in some other way

This retreat will provide a structured container that includes:
* a review of the stages in the creative process
* clarity around your current stage and support for the next one
* creativity tricks and tips
* a weekend cohort to listen and share motivation
* quiet work time in shared space
* dedicated dining table for writing and researching
* dedicated downstairs table for art supplies
* walking techniques for creativity
* yoga asana for brain support
* Maha Mrityunjaya mantra practice for courage, will, and determination
* guided meditations to access body wisdom
* ongoing sauna
* moonlight movement
* fresh, homemade, whole food meals
* accountability structures for post-retreat
* private follow-up coaching/mentoring

Did we miss anything? If so, we will create it for you. Don’t have a specific ‘project’ and something here sounds appealing? Perhaps your topic will reveal itself before or even during the retreat. Perhaps you’ll just need a lift out of winter stagnation. Perhaps you just need healing and inspiration.

Retreat fee of $325 includes all meals and a private accommodation Friday dinner through Sunday lunch. Guests are welcome to stay through Sunday night to quietly integrate the weekend and enjoy the Haven.

Please arrive at the Haven between 4:00 and 5:00 pm Mountain Standard Time Friday evening. McCall is 1 hour and Boise is 3 hours.
