How do we develop our therapeutic retreats?

We start with ourselves!

💚As drama therapists, mothers, and women in this world, we always practice our ideas on *ourselves* before we bring them to our clients and retreats.

✨ Creative expression requires vulnerability, safety, and trust. We need to understand how it feels in the body to be asked: what brings you joy? What stands in the way? What old beliefs might need to shift? Who or what can help?

🪴Periodically, we meet for *mini-retreats*, where we engage in deep dialogue about the experiences we want to provide, process using creative interventions, and challenge ourselves to show up as the most authentic, generous, and intentional versions of ourselves!

🦸‍♀️ Here we are investigating our own personal relationships to joy as a resource, using the format of a “Hero’s Journey”….exploring big questions through art and creativity allows for a depth of knowledge and experience that simple conversation rarely touches.

🎭 Curious about drama therapy or creative arts therapy but unsure where to start? Drop us a line - we’re always happy to jump on a quick phone call and invite you in.

Perfect timing as well- as we are hosting a Creative Women’s Retreat in Santa Fe, NM this Mother’s Day week- May 6-10, focusing on cultivating JOY as a resource to support these extraordinarily trying times, and to protect the joy for our children and loved ones. We would love to host you. 💛 link and info, including discounts in bio. Stay safe, stay warm, stay connected!

Have 7 minutes? (I know, I know, *not* a quick pitch, but a real sneak peek at a day in the life of a CWR retreat.)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

We create our retreats intuitively and from scratch - crafting experiences, environments, and spaces that feel brave, welcoming, expressive, and freeing. Basically - we design a retreat that WE want to go to. We hope you come along in Santa Fe this May! 🌵

If you’re looking for a respite or for a way to ground in this time of fear and crisis, consider a retreat that treats Joy as a fundamental resource. 🌺

We’ll take a pause from the daily grind and the relentless news cycle and give ourselves a chance to reset and reconnect. We hold Joy not as some lofty ideal or amusing escape, but as a source of deep wisdom, an anchor, and a guide. 🌟

We’ll take a look at what stands in its way, be it social reality or internal beliefs. And we’ll support each other with love and care in this exploration. 💚

Yes, there will be beautiful natural surroundings, luxurious accommodations, delicious food, inspiring activities, interesting culture…but at the end of the day, we will be a circle of women cultivating something deeply meaningful to take back home and to meet this moment. 🌸

Won’t you join us?

Xx, Hollis & Isabel

Spring Awakening: Cultivating Joy as a Resource
May 6–10, 2026 • Santa Fe, New Mexico

Joy isn’t a luxury.
It’s a resource we can practice for ourselves and our communities—especially in heavy, uncertain times.

This women-centered retreat (all women-aligned folks welcome) is guided by our work as creative arts therapists, using drama therapy and expressive practices to support reflection, reconnection, and restoration.

Held at Casa Encantada, just outside Santa Fe during peak spring, our days together will include creative and expressive workshops, time in nature and at local hot springs, nourishing shared meals (home cooked by us!), gentle movement, and spacious pacing for rest and integration—all within a small, intentional circle of women (10 max).

✨ Early commitment pricing is open through February 14
Alumni + BIPOC discounts available always
Flexible payment plans offered

We would love to hold this experience with you.
Full details and registration at the link in our bio.

With deepest gratitude,
Hollis & Isabel

Hope this snow day is bringing you JOY! The state of things feels heavy right now and there is much to grieve. We are thinking about joy as a resource, path, and tool for resilience. Stay warm, stay safe. ❄️❤️
