Who’s coming?!

10 years ago this brilliant lady joined me at my first ever retreat that I hosted home at Åland Islands. Rachel is so much fun, so easy to spend time with, she gives great hugs and she sings in the sauna :) She is also a very creative and inspiring book artist and teacher. I am thrilled that she is coming back in Summer 2026 for one of my retreats. Rachel is going to show us how to bind and make our special book, that will be filled with our marks, sketches, prints and memories from Åland Islands. I can not wait. Registration for this retreat opens Sunday Nov. 16 . Learn more on my website, click my link in profile .
