Ann Boyd and Maria Anderson are excited to welcome you to the first Women’s Art Weekend—a creative retreat for self-discovery through art. Drawing on Ann’s rich background in movement, collaborative projects, and the Open Studio Process, we’re creating a space for reflection, expression, and connection. We’re planning for an intimate group of up to 10 women. Please fill out this form to help us shape the weekend’s flow.
Date: Friday, October 24-26
Location: Art Studio at Ann’s home. We are renting an AirBnB in Bend, Oregon
We’re offering this retreat on a sliding scale to keep it accessible. After covering costs, all contributions will go directly to Coyote Conscience.
