Creativity Retreat: Perception and Play
Join us in idyllic southern France, for a transformational week of creative enrichment!
Exploration and development of your individual creative goals combine with a restorative lifestyle for you in the late summer warmth of this historic area.
Whether you want to be more inventive, innovative 
and creative for professional development reasons, or for personal artistic goals, this retreat is for you. I will connect you more deeply to what you want, and how you can make it happen.
What you perceive leads directly to what you create. And teaches you who you are as a creator.
How you play shows you how to experiment, learn, integrate, expand and express your true nature. Create from delight and self-awareness!
Cost of this week long retreat is $1900. which includes room, board, some materials and a variety of other tangibles and intangibles. For logistics of a trip to this area, please go here.

For over twenty years, I have been working with individuals and groups who want to develop their creative approach to life and art. I love this work.
Most importantly for you, I can assist you with on-the-ground experience and knowledge. Over twenty-five years, I have navigated through many territories across the landscape of the creative act. I have been an artist and inventor myself all my life, supporting myself for twenty-five years, with jewelry in museums and private collections, a highly-regarded book, and a solid teaching record. Encourage perception, play, and creative action, and have a lovely, unforgettable time this September with us at La Cascade!

This Creativity Retreat is sponsored by two Basic Concepts:
What you perceive leads directly into what you create. And teaches you who you are as a creator.
How you play teaches you to experiment, learn, integrate, expand and express, without risk.
The goal of this retreat is to connect you more deeply to your own creative, innovative abilities, goals and resources. You will identify
- what you really want to create,
- what you secretly have to do this, and
- what your unique process is both in class and after you return to your home.
This year’s Creativity Retreat will be held Sept. 24 – Oct. 1, 2009. Learn more!
