Spring Creative Healing Retreat
UNRAVEL.
A soul-nourishing retreat for women who are ready to stop shrinking and start living -- through self-expression, community, and radical self-acceptance.
May 14 - 17th 2026 Marmora, Ontario, Canada
We spend so much of our lives being who others want us to be, but how often do we pause and ask ourselves what we want? This retreat is a gentle exhale, a sacred pause. A reclaiming of your wild and free self. The one who longs to break free from all society tells her to be. It’s a weekend to remember who you are beneath the noise. To rest. To play. To make art that doesn’t ask for permission. This is where you lay it all down and create the foundation for yourself to bloom with the season-- wildly, honestly, and beautifully free. This retreat is a coming home to yourself, and having a supportive community of sisters behind you.
This retreat is for BOTH the artist longing to reconnect to creative freedom, and the woman who has possibly never used art as a creative expression before. All are welcome to come explore the deep well of magic, truth and freedom through the art-making and sacred healing practices within a safe and supportive group of women ready to hold and cheer you on. We can't wait to have, and hold you.
This retreat is a sacred weekend to pause before blooming — to take off the heavy coats of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and performance. Here, you are invited to soften, to create, to laugh, to cry, to be without explanation.
Who This Retreat is For...
This retreat is for women who:
-
Feel like they’ve been performing or pleasing for too long
-
Crave creative freedom and want to reconnect with their inner spark
-
Are tired of shrinking and ready to take up space — with paint, with voice, with joy
-
Long to be in, and have a community of like-minded women there to cheer you on. During the retreat and after.
-
Want to slow down, listen to their inner voice and feel more like themselves again.
You do not need to identify as an artist.
If creativity has always felt like something reserved for “other people,” let this be the place where you gently reclaim it as yours.
All you need is an open heart and a willingness to explore. Everything else will meet you there.

Her retreats create a sense of belonging that many women are experiencing for the first time.

Meet your retreat chef
Christine Walling is our private chef. Filled with joy, levity and true nourishment for all those who get to experience her craft. She reminds us of our love for food, and creates safety in that love.
"My journey in food is my way of connecting to the world. It's my love letter to anyone I meet. Come, sit at my table and I will be whatever you need in that moment while making sure you're nourished. If you need an ear, a good cry or to punch some dough to let it out I'm here for you. Food is my therapy and I'm happy to share." - Christine Walling; The Storied Chef

My retreats are the definition of sisterhood, magic and being fully seen and held for WHO YOU ARE; AS YOU ARE. You deserve to be held and supported.
Want to chat with me before signing up to see if it's a good fit for you?
Traveling with a group of women you’ve never met can feel intimidating. I get it.
It’s vulnerable. It’s brave. It's an investment (of money, time and energy). I don't take your investment lightly, and I am excited to offer these discovery calls to all of you!
This 15-minute call is a chance for us to connect. I will share a bit about my retreats, what to expect and answer any questions you may have.
No pressure. No sales pitch. Just space for your questions, hesitations, and curiosity.
