  I have other things planned that weekend, how much free time will I have?

  • Muses require spaciousness and attention. They don’t take kindly to being over-scheduled! Give yourself the gift of fully receiving this deeply nourishing retreat by staying present to it. Plan to spend the whole long weekend immersed in the experience and reschedule any other activities to another time.

• I can only partially attend/ I need to leave early

  • If you cannot attend the whole retreat, please plan to take a future retreat when you can. Leaving early or arriving late disrupts both the individual and group process. Please contact us with your specific situation if you have questions. katherine(at)creativelifespark.com (512) 534-1100

  • Beginners welcome! Easels, brushes, top-quality acrylic paint, a gallery-wrapped canvas, and all other supplies will be provided.

• I have painted before, can I bring my own brushes and/or paints?

  • You are welcome to bring your own brushes and acrylic paints. (They will also be provided.)

• I paint with oils, can I bring my own paints?

• I’m flying in from out of town– how will I get my canvas home?

  • Muse canvases often enjoy flying carry-on (which delights fellow travelers and is a great conversation starter!)
