For our first week, Dave and I team up to lead you through several creative experiences that take your inspiration form this exotic local and personally translate it into storytelling collages and gorgeous handmade journals. As a artistic couple we have lots of stories of our own to share including our journey together creatively and spiritually. Dave’s energy is contagious! I can say that objectively as one if his biggest admirers. His personal collage work is multi dimensional and takes you on your own unique journey with each piece.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES WE HAVE PLANNED EACH WEEK
