The Fall Becoming Retreat

Step Into Your Magic

A transformative retreat for women ready to to connect deeper with themselves. Through creative self-expression, meaningful community, and the courage to be seen.

Nov 5-8th 2026 Marmora, Ontario, Canada

Fall Creative Becoming Retreat is a gentle invitation to step out of the roles you’ve been holding and into the fullness of who you are becoming. As the season shifts this retreat offers you a space to do the same. To slow down, to listen, and to reconnect with the creative voice that lives within you. Through intuitive and healing analog art-making, meaningful connection, and moments of quiet reflection, you’ll be guided back to yourself in a way that feels grounding, expansive, and deeply nourishing. This transformational space is curated to help you give yourself permission to explore, to feel, and to take up space in your one big, beautiful and creative life.

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.

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.

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.

Meet the Founder & Your Host

Discovering HER is hosted by Stephanie Chinn: bestselling author, speaker, therapeutic arts practitioner, artist, and the founder of Step Into Your Magic Retreats.

Since founding Step Into Your Magic in 2023, Stephanie has welcomed more than 150 women into transformational retreats across the United States, Canada, Ireland, Iceland, Greece, Costa Rica, and beyond. What began as a dream to create spaces where women could slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build genuine community has grown into a retreat experience that women return to again and again, more than 75% of participants have gone on to join another retreat or trip.

Stephanie believes the most meaningful transformation doesn't come from someone telling you who you should become. It comes from creating an environment where you feel safe enough to remember who you've always been.

With a community of more than 80,000 people and years of facilitating workshops and retreats, Stephanie's greatest passion is creating spaces where women feel safe to be fully themselves. Her retreats blend creativity, meaningful connection, and beautiful destinations to create experiences that stay with women long after they return home.
