“When you find your tribe, you find your power.”
When women circle together, magic unfolds.
I have taught and mentored hundreds upon hundreds of creative women, and we all, at some point, feel the same way: tired, defeated, afraid, overwhelmed or alone. And I believe, with all of my heart, that the most beautiful balm for this is the combination of sisterhood, creativity and Nature’s sacred space.
During our time together you might find yourself:
Standing under the giant Texas sky, stardust on your shoulders, feet in the river, whispering your dreams
Making art with Nature
Enjoying the most nourishing handmade food
Finding treasures at the cutest antique and church sales
Soaking in the sunshine while we create
Laughing around the campfire, sisterhood smoke signals swirling above your head, s’mores in hand.
Painting landscapes while guided by guest teacher Heather Sundquist Hall
Melting into a somatic healing meditation
Making a mess with clay, every day, while you explore the healing properties of this ancient art form (my favorite!)
As always, my workshops are intentionally intimate, with limited spaces available.
When you leave, it is my most sincere belief that you will feel rested, restored, and reconnected to yourself and your purpose.
I cannot wait to welcome you to Smithville.
I had the most incredible time. I met women from across the country who all have their own stories, but who came together and now share a magical bond that can't be broken. And then there's you - you are the most wonderful, gracious, caring and thoughtful person. You made every part of the retreat an incredibly meaningful time. All of the care you took in planning every moment of the retreat showed us how invested you were in each one of us. You and your wonderful family made it truly a special time. Thank you for making me feel seen.

Michelle, you are so real and such a wisdom keeper. Your intuition for yourself and others is beautiful to witness and such a gift to receive! Your gathered circle of women created the most mothering group, each with a different trait that she possessed. The strength, beauty, trust, love, light, laughter, friendship and consciousness that I experienced at the retreat is unlike anything I have ever known. I am infinitely grateful to you for holding that space. My life is better with you in it.
-Christy Theis
The magic and alchemy created during our time together was indescribable... it was above and beyond anything what I had imagined. I will carry that time, space, magic, you, and Smithville forever in my heart.
-Emily Alpers
It was wildly transformational. It provided everything I didn’t know I needed. Quenched a hunger in a far off land I’d forgotten. Reminded me I can live from there if I choose to. I literally stop people on the street and tell them about it. Every woman deserves this gift to herself for herself in honor of herself. Supremely grateful for you and the light you shine on the world and the women
- Rosie Pryor
