All the details for the retreat can be found here.

This is a delicious talk about creativity, friendship, and what you can create when collaborating with someone you admire and trust.

Tanya Val is an artist and plant shop owner living in Anchorage Alaska. She is one of the most WILDLY talented humans I know. Seriously, just visit her site to see.

We have been working and traveling together for years, created some of the most beautiful retreats ever seen, and are writing a book together!

But in this conversation, you are going to hear about SO much more than just our professional work. We share our heart, passion, and love for our creative work and our shared (and very deep) passion for creating with nature.

We're also hilarious. We think. :)

This helps me keep going and flowing and I love them so so much.

The Collective Opens on May 30th! This is the most transformative place for Artists to grow their studios and practices because we normalize the success of Creatives. There are so many training and lessons in there so you can find success in your work a little more easily and gently.

Go visit the Nature and Silk Scarf Collection I mentioned at the end of this episode! It will be available Thursday at 2:00pm est.

This episode is a bit vulnerable and took a lot of inner work to even get to the place where I can talk about this so confidently and from tried and true experience. Thank you for being the most generous and kind audience. It is a delight to share my experiences and story with you.

This summer, work towards feeling safe, healthy, and whole in your creative practice. It will pay off in multitudes in your creative work and the output you are able to step into.

I'm cheering for you.

This episode is SO precious (stay til the end to hear my whole heart MELT). I sat down with two of the most beautiful parents/artists I know and we talked about balancing, blending, and maintaining your whole self and your studio practice while also being a mother.

Hint: balance is a juggling act, everything comes back around, you are capable of SO much more than you imagine, and also you don't have to do anything at all but love yourself and love your kid(s).

Please let me know what comes up for you as you listen! You can always reach me at learn@emilyjeffords.com
