A long weekend of journal drawing, ink, watercolor & renewal for women who are ready to pick up their pen and paints again.About this Event
A note from your Art Doula:
Maybe it's been months. Maybe it's been years. You used to paint, sketch, doodle in the margins — and somewhere along the way, life got louder and the sketchbook got quieter. You tell yourself you've forgotten how. That you're rusty. That it's been too long.
I'm here to tell you: none of that is true.
The part of you that loves to make marks on paper — she's still there. She just needs a safe, unhurried space to remember herself. That's exactly what this retreat is. No judgment, no pressure, no performance. Just you, a pen, some ink, a watercolor palette, and the most beautiful stretch of Florida river you've ever seen.
I'll be beside you the whole way — guiding your hand when you want it, stepping back when you need to find your own rhythm. Whether you haven't picked up a pencil in decades or you create regularly and simply crave more time and inspiration, there is a seat here for you.
Come rest. Come play. Come remember.
With warmth,
Pam Valcante
