Retreats for Women

I hosted my 3rd retreat for women on Saturday.  The beautiful weather combined with the gorgeous venue at Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens was the ideal setting for the retreat.  6 ladies joined me on retreat, and I was very blessed to have my special friend Lynn, co-hosting with me.
 
I see art and creativity as a special gift that I give to myself, and it brings such joy to my life.  That's part of what I share with the ladies on retreat.  I love it when the 'non-artists' discover how easy it is to make art, and they then fall in love with paint and doodling and pottering around with art supplies.  My sister, Caron, kept saying "I can't believe I made that!!"  Awesome...
