About this Event
Women tend to experience themselves through their daily actions as mothers, daughters, wives, professionals, or friends. We rarely, if ever, take the opportunity to give ourselves a sacred space to discover, experience, and fully appreciate our power and greatness as women.
Together with an amazing team, I have designed a transformative creative experience to help women discover their true and exquisite power. You will be taken on an exciting journey to create a personal portrait that surprises, liberates, and delights you. Free yourself from the constrictions of your critical voice, let go of the endless expectations of others and revel in the power, mystery, and beauty that is uniquely yours.
This is all about you. The experience of making art in a dreamy villa, and being served delicious home-cooked meals. The remarkable women you will meet, and the opportunity to see yourself fully will move you. You will remember the "before and after" of your time in San Miguel de Allende.
