What to Expect

Ready to shake up your routine, get un-stuck, rediscover your passion and your purpose, and reconnect with your calling???

The Empowering Creativity Retreat will help you do all that and more! Each day will feature keynote topics and creative experiences that will help you expand your knowledge and horizons while connecting you with other creatives.

This uplifting, supportive environment is the perfect place to open up, ask questions and, most importantly, explore what “creativity” means to you! I firmly believe in the power of creating a community, so we will work as a group to make sure that everyone feels included, inspired, and empowered to make the most of this wonderful week.

I will also be providing a catered lunch to ensure that we can fill our days with learning while our evenings are left unscheduled to explore all the inspiration that Madison has to offer!

Join us at the Empowering Creativity Retreat for the artistic adventure of a lifetime.

What People Are Saying:

“Wow! It was the most amazing experience I’ve had in a very long time. Thank you for welcoming me without hesitation and for all the love and support I received. I’ve never met such an amazing group of women before. I’m so sad it had to end but grateful for the experience. Thank you Dionne and Kelly for helping to bring the artist out in me. Also thank you to all other amazing artists for your kind words and encouragement. I will definitely be doing a lot more painting in the coming weeks and months. My creativity has received a new lease on life just like me. I feel so energized to begin my new life as an artist! All of you lovely women are truly awesome and I am so grateful and blessed to have spent time with you.”

“Before I dive into why the Empowering Creativity Retreat was so awesome, I think we all need to take note that the leader of our tribe, Dionne Woods, is so awesome! Without a loving, caring person like Dionne, the retreat just would not have been as successful as it was. Why was it successful? Because 40+ women all felt loved and protected. Yes, protected. They could bare their hearts and souls without judgment from anyone. Every single person there was kind, loving, and treated each other with the utmost respect. This is something Dionne expects from everyone in her group. There are groups out there that try to out-do each other but this group is about holding each other up and helping those who came feeling unworthy leave feeling loved and worthy. There are so many people in the world that would benefit from this once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

“This week was so amazingly beautiful for me. I learned so many things about painting and myself. I can do things that feel hard, even if I’m scared or alone, and I can learn new things! I’m so blessed to have had this opportunity. I know that many, many women would love to be able to come and have the experience that we have been able to have. Each of you has given me something special to take away from this week… This was the week I finally painted freely! I was the woman who ran freely and shed all her inhibitions. I was always told I was “ugly” and “I would be nothing.” I know now that I am far from “nothing.” Now, I’m trying to become an entrepreneur. I’m a mother, a wife, an artist, a social worker, and a daughter of the most high. It’s taken me a lot of time and work to feel and know I am beautiful and to actually believe it and to believe my worth. This week I thought about how we sometimes have to go through the ugly to really enjoy all of the beauty that eventually is bestowed upon us. My life is full of color. Each of you has added to my color palette this week… I am so grateful for all I’ve learned… Thank you, Dionne, for doing this. If you didn’t, I wouldn’t have been so richly blessed. Each of you has such bright and happy spirits and I leave with a bit of each of you filling my spirit and soul to the brim, going home happy and uplifted to be a good momma and wife and continue my endeavors as an artist. I hope we stay in touch! Go and be beautiful! Paint lovely things and know that you're all such amazing women!”

“During a quiet moment last night waiting for sleep to arrive I began reflecting on the recent retreat and I thought I would share my epiphany with you all. I’m sure I’m not the only one with major withdrawal symptoms, missing everyone and wishing to be back in Galveston at the Clay Cup. It was lightning in a bottle for me, personally. It provided a safe haven to be creative and silly without fear in my heart. It not only gave me courage to paint, but also courage to be my authentic self, free from egoic fears, negativity and criticism, and the courage to align with my authentic self. I realized that I was with a group of beautiful women that were all engaging strictly from the soul level, not one ego to be found, each radiating their authentic soul self. It’s a rare occurrence indeed, especially in these troubled times. Image if the world operated at the soul level and all the abundance that accompanies it. Thank you all so much for sharing your soul self with me. It was an honor to meet and spend time with each and every one of you. It was truly life-changing for me and I hope to be reunited with all you wonderful soul sisters one day.”
