Welcome!   

I am so happy you have found gladsome!  At its core gladsome is a weekend retreat to nourish your creative spirit, yet it is so much more!  

For some women the weekend brings a new insight or understanding, others experience a profound transformation in a part of their lives, still others explore art and expression in ways they never thought possible.  Every woman spends time renewing her own creative gifts.  All of this happens in a supportive and warm environment in the company of compassionate, interesting, and insightful women.  

The participants are diverse and come from many different ages and stages in life.  Their creative gifts are varied as well; whether it is writing, crafting, photography, parenting, homesteading, sewing, painting, cooking, or professional pursuits, each participant has the opportunity to reflect on creativity in her own life and support each other in creative exploration. 

There is great food, much laughter, meaningful sharing and a perfectly designed schedule for you to create, reflect, and connect.

Previous participants have found much to love:

"The creative spirit sparked on this weekend will reverberate in my life at home."  

"Such a wonderful, beautiful weekend.  I feel blessed to have been able to share it with such an amazing group of women."

"Calming, renewing, joyful."
 
"An authentic community of women."
 
"Abundant in love, art and sharing through discussion and the making of meals."

I hope you want to be part of this extraordinary experience!  Please join us for gladsome 2014


All my best,
Claudine
