Creative Retreats at Huntingdon House 

Inspiring women to create the personal space needed to explore their creativity


We were inspired to create a gathering for women who have so much yearning to expand their lives:  to share, to create and to live lives of abundance and purpose as well as to feel healthy, strong and confident. This begins with allowing your soul to soar.

Too often our biggest challenge is finding the courage to bring our own well-being and creative ideas to the forefront.  We tell ourselves that we will pursue our dreams once the children are raised, once we lose the weight, once our commitments are completed, once there is time…..but there never is time.  Time is elusive, it can seem an eternity or it can pass in a heartbeat.  Once we make our own wellbeing a priority, then we make time.  No one ever said…I don’t have time to take care of my children or to brush my teeth!!

It is TIME for you to focus on you.

We are offering a retreat that gives you time to explore your creative side.  We all have creativity inside of us.  Do you like to write, or read/research or draw, or knit or practice an instrument or pick wild flowers and press them into a book?  Creativity is anything you want it to be anything that makes your soul happy.


Creative Retreats is designed to combine gentle movement and meditation to prepare your creative urges to flourish!  There will be blocks of time each day to pursue whatever your heart desires but if you feel blocked or unsure of how to move forward, we will have some guided practices for you to explore that for which your heart yearns….with curiosity, not judgement.




Join us on our Creative Retreats on the weekend of November 10, 11 & 12 at Huntingdon House, just north of Belleville on Hwy 62. Your Creative Retreats leaders are Laurie Rockman, dancer, cartoonist & artist and Terri Maracle, Serenity Yoga teacher & Lifestyle Coach.
