The Artist Within

A One-Day Creative Retreat | Begins September 21, 2025 | T. Mari Gallery

The Artist Within is more than a one-day retreat — it’s a bi-monthly creative sanctuary. Held twice a month at T. Mari Gallery, each session invites a small group of artists, seekers, and soulful creatives to return to their inner voice through guided art, writing, and reflection. Whether you join once or often, every gathering offers a fresh opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and become. Your art is your becoming and this is a space to remember. Join us for a sacred day of reconnection, expression, and creative awakening. The Artist Within is a soulful retreat for artists, visionaries, and seekers ready to return to their voice, purpose, and imaginative spirit.

Held inside the intimate sanctuary of T. Mari Gallery, this one-day gathering invites 8–10 guests into a warm, reflective space to explore who they are as artists, not just in practice, but in identity.

Through guided journaling, symbolic self-portraiture, creative ritual, and community reflection, you’ll rediscover your Sacred Yes: the creative truth you're ready to honor, express, and carry forward.

This is a space of belonging, beauty, and becoming.
