The Invitation:

Escape the Ordinary. Embrace Creativity & Adventure. 

When was the last time you said “yes” to you?

Take time this fall to balance your busy life with a slow, soulful creative retreat! Enjoy a weekend away in a beautiful A-frame cabin located in Shaver Lake, CA, where you are safe to explore what’s been hiding beneath your own surface.

The intention of this creative retreat is to help women tap into their birthright of creativity and authenticity. You will experience the powerful process of creating and how it can help you cope with stress, anxiety, depression; all while deepening your connection to yourself and other soulful women.   

When we actively express our creative side, our life becomes more alive! By giving your creative side room to play and explore, you release this hidden part of yourself. You will begin to see your creative process as one beautiful pattern that you can trust as a guide in any situation—not just in the creation of art. 

Whether you’re a skilled creator, a beginner, or just craving a change of pace, this creative retreat is for you! You’ll find a fun, supportive environment to nurture your creative passions. We will help guide you into falling in love with your creative self!

You can expect to leave our retreat feeling more connected to your creative self & energized for the year ahead. By connecting to this community of women, our hope is for you to walk away inspired, uplifted, & empowered.

You will engage in intuitive painting, art journaling, and collaborative activities to spark your imagination & ditch your comfort zone. You will learn actionable ways to tap into your more playful, creative self in your day-to-day life.  Let's dive into this one life we live with our creative juices flowing, beautiful new connections and the intent to creatively contribute to our wonderful world.

THE PROCESS

1. FREE ZOOM CONSULT (OPTIONAL)We understand it’s a huge investment, especially with your time which is a non-renewable resource. To convince you that we are worthy of your investment and in fact, NOT serial killers, we’ll schedule a phone call or Zoom to answer any and all questions, put your fears to rest and remind you that you are SO worthy of this incredible experience.

2. RESERVE YOUR ROOM
Once all of your questions have been answered, it’s time to book the room that best suits you and your budget. We have many options, some private, some shared. You will pay a deposit through the website to secure your reservation and complete a detailed intake form so that we can curate this retreat to your specific needs and desires.

3. WELCOME EMAILOnce we receive your registration, we’ll send you a welcome email to map out what to expect over the next few months leading up to the retreat. You will also receive a checklist of what to pack and details on what to expect.

4. TRAVEL INSURANCE + FLIGHTSYou are solely responsible for travel to and from the retreat location. Travel insurance is not required but we highly recommend it to guarantee every unexpected cancellation is fully covered. If flying into the area we recommend flying into Sacramento or Fresno. You can also fly into San Fransisco, but be mindful of the Bay Area traffic. All options are about 2.5 hr drive to the retreat area (you want a true get-away don’t ya).

5. PRE-RETREAT CHECK-IN
A week before the retreat we will meet virtually so that everyone can meet each other before spending the week together. We will show you what to pack and discuss the excursions in full detail. We will answer any and all questions you have before the retreat.

6. RETREAT
Alas! The fun part! You show up ready to relax and unwind and experience an unforgettable retreat that rocks your world. Bonus points for making new friends ;)

FAQs + FYIs

REGISTRATION CLOSES SEPTEMBER 9TH
This is to ensure we have time to prepare everything using the finallized guest roster. This includes the pre-retreat check-in call, one-week before the event.

LAST DAY FOR PAYMENT PLANS IS JUNE 30TH
The payment plan offered is for four months. Four months before September is June, which means the first payment must be made during or before the month of June. The last payment will be made on or before the month of September.

CANCELLATION POLICY + REFUNDS
Upon making your first payment you will have a 48-hour cancellation period with no reprecussions. After the 48-hour period has passed there will be no refunds. You may cancel your participation, which will stop any future payments, however any payments that were previously made will not be refunded. My heart is that if you feel you are meant to be here, you are in fact meant to be here. Fear is no reason to back out of a transformative experience.

Q: Will I have my own bedroom and bathroom?
It’s up to you, babe! Our lodging options range from budget-friendly shared rooms to luxury-style cabins you can have all to yourself! Choose what works best for you —whether you’re travleing solo or with a friend or small group of biz besties!

Q: I want to attend but can’t afford it, what can I do?
This retreat is a powerful and highly transformative way to move old energy so that you can glide forward with ease and flow toward your next goal or uplevel in your business. (Need reassurance? see the testimonials below from previous retreats.) Upleveling your self and your business takes an immense amount of energy and effort.

If you are unable to afford the retreat now, and you agree that it would be a significant boost for you and your goals, then you can develop a timeline/plan to save up for the retreat. We have a payment plan if that helps. Many retreat participants attend with the support of their company or employer. You can also consider this a business expense. Additionally, you can always inquire about other ways to work with me that may be more budget-friendly for you. Use your best intuition.

Q: What if I want to spend more time visiting the region? What should I do or see to maximize the retreat's benefits?
There is definitely tons to see in Tuolumne County. We are just an hour from Yosemite National Park — but I also have some local alternatives if you are interested. I’m happy to give you some local recommendations for your time in the area, but please schedule this type of exploration before or after the retreat dates. We will be spending time outdoors at the retreat center, but full exploration is something you are encouraged to do on your own time.

FOOD ALLERGIES! Can I still come?
Girl, yes. You are talking to a lactose-intolerant lady. I am more than happy to accomodate allergies — this will be inquired in the in-take and registration form.

Q: Why is the cost so high?
Because planning a retreat is a tremednous amount of work. I bring my full self to these events so that you can have the utmost opportunity for transformation. As with any coaching relationship, the work is up to you. you get out what you put in. This is not a “bargain basement retreat”, this is something I work very hard at to create a life-changing and business-altering experience for you and the other women attending. You get what you pay for, sis.

Q: I am just not sure if a retreat is what I need. How can I determine if this is the right thing for me?
Please feel free to send me an email at haley@thesparklinghippie.com and we will discuss where you are personally with your life and biz. I know investing in your success can be a big step. Let’s chat and see what comes up. There is absolutely no pressure to attend on my end.

Q: I’m still not sure and I have more questions.
Any other questions can be sent to haley@thesparklinghippie.com. I’m happy to help.
