‍There are weekends that pass and weekends that stay with you. Wondering Path Studio is offering one of the latter.
Into the Wondering Path · A Two-Day Intuition Painting® Retreat
Friday, Saturday and Sunday · Oct. 23 5pm to 8pm, Oct. 24 & 25· 9am to 5pm · Asheville, NC
This world is spinning so fast and at times it seems as if it will consume us completely.  We need to stay in touch with what's going on but the best way to do that is from a place of grounding and centeredness, rooted in our intuition and our own deep knowing. It's an anecdote to the swirling pressures that surround us.
For two+ full days we will join together to find a safe, support space of guided, spontaneous painting in a small, intimate group.  No art experience needed. No agenda. Just real, unhurried time to follow our intuition and the brush as we discover what shows up when the thinking mind finally steps aside and rests.
Through the full six-phase Intuition Painting® process, you'll move through centering, letting go, connecting, revealing, transforming, and embodying. Each phase builds on the last. One painting, revealing itself in stages so that by the end of Sunday, something will have shifted, on the paper and perhaps in you. Not because anything dramatic happened, but because you gave yourself two full days of being present to yourself without performance or outcome or judgement
People who have experienced this process describe a quiet shift. Those who do it often find that they awaken a part of themselves that has been quiet too long. It is a sense of having connected with something real that they hadn't been able to access any another way in this busy, busy world.
What's included:
All painting materials · Lunch both days · Refreshments throughout · Guided movement · Meditations before each session · Full facilitation across six phases
Donation Suggestion Range :$295-$495 
Limited to 7 participants.

As we head into the traditional holiday season, many folks feel pushed and pulled by all the demands to be a part of the celebrations.  Understanding what really matters to us could make the difference in how you enjoy the days ahead.

Since not everyone has the time or inclination to spend a whole day, or longer, working here in the studio. Wondering Path Studios offers Intuition Painting to fit your schedule. The process is shared over a 4 week period, 3 hours at a time. You will be supplied with all materials and shown how to travel back and forth with your painting so that we can continue to do the deep work that engaging with 1 painting over 4 sessions provides.

It’s all the same amazing work that the weekend workshop or retreat offers, just spread out to match our lives. You will have real time to connect with your painting during the week, deepening the connection and then returning to the studio to let it continue revealing itself to you.

Thursday Mornings starting November 5 to December 3 (skip Thanksgiving week) 9 am to 12 pm. Then separate sessions repeating in subsequent months. Bring a lunch to socialize afterward for an hour if you like. Other months available when checking out.

Holidays aren’t for everyone.  Some of us feel the losses of the season more strongly than the gifts. Instead of sitting in that pain alone we invite you to join us for this our first “holy-day” workshop.

Wondering Path Studio is offering a new holiday ritual, a connection with your inner wisdom, deepening the mystery of the holy season by inviting ourselves to the celebration table.  

We often inherit our holiday rituals without choosing them. And sometimes, those inherited scripts no longer fit. This workshop is about making space for your own truth. 

Through the full six-phase Intuition Painting® process, you’ll move through centering, letting go, connecting, revealing, transforming, and embodying. We will explore how to release the weight of expectations and begin to paint—not just on canvas, but in your life—new traditions that honor who you are now, not who you were told to be.  A gift worth sharing with yourself.

The Space Between Traditions · A Two+ Day Intuition Painting® Workshop Friday, December 18, 5pm to 8 pm, Saturday, Dec. 19 & Sunday Dec 20 · 10am to 4pm · Asheville, NC. 

One full day of guided, spontaneous painting in a small, intimate group. Seven people maximum. No art experience needed. No pressure to be “festive.” Just  real, unhurried time to sit with what this season actually brings up for you, whether it’s grief, exhaustion, loneliness, or simply the need to breathe.

By the end of the day, something will have shifted. Not because we fixed anything, but because you gave yourself permission to stop performing happiness and following other’s expectations and start accessing your own inner rhythm.

People who have experienced this process describe a quiet relief. There is a  sense of having reclaimed their own story during the busiest, loudest time of year.

What's included: All painting materials · Light lunch · Refreshments throughout ·

Wednesday Mornings March 3 to March 24, 9 am - 12 pm.

I’ve been going to Ocracoke in the winters for over 30 years now to meet and share a house with friends, and to enjoy the absolute peaceful beauty of that island in the winter. And as soon as I leave I am looking forward to getting back there again. It’s not just the island experience, 16 miles of National Seashore Coastline with not a single house along the beach and the quiet winter village of full time residents that make it so peaceful. It’s not just the chance to bike, kayak, and stroll along that endless shore. It’s spending time with others, sharing meals, telling stories, having an experience that is often rare in our grown up world these days.

I go to “get away” and remember what’s important to me. It’s not quick or easy to get there and that’s part of what makes it so special. But the time spent there, from the moment I get on the ferry to the moment I get back off later that week, is what feeds me for the whole year. Experiencing Nature at her purest, unfettered by beach houses and clutter. You can only get to the island on a ferry; over two hours each way from Swans Quarter or Cedar Island or about 30 minutes from Hatteras. You really feel like you are “leaving it all behind.” And who doesn’t need some of that these days. A time to get away from all that can keeps our minds so full.

Come on Sunday evening and stay until Friday morning and leave with the memory of good work, new friends and the beauty that only Ocracoke and the Atlantic Ocean in winter can give you. In between we’ll have five days of slow mornings, beach walks, wandering, music, good food, and the particular kind of wonder that only surfaces when given enough time and space. And of course the in-depth experience of an Intuition Painting process that helps you get in touch with your deeper self.

This is Wondering Path Studio's first destination retreat, and it is designed for people who are ready play a little again. I have discovered that the very act of judgement-free creativity can beckon my soul out to express itself and at times, share some things I just hadn’t “thought about!” And the more that happens, the more I feel in touch with the whole me.

We will be painting in the town’s newest treasure, The Commons. The Ocracoke Preservation Society saved this historic building in 2018 and have been working hard to create a space that will serve the community year round. We will be one of their inaugural events and will have space there for 5 days and staying across the island at “Southern Comfort.”

What the week holds:

Four in-depth Intuition Painting® sessions which will give us the full six-phase process spread across multiple days, with plenty of time between sessions to let what emerged settle, surface, and speak. This retreat is not rushed and we will have time to let the process have room to breathe. These four, 3-hour painting sessions will be scheduled around the weather that we find on the island, so we can try and get the best of all things! Another way we will be flexible and going with what emerges! And there will be plenty of time for just being in the rhythm of Nature and friends.

Ocracoke in late winter is quiet, wild, and beautiful. Weather permitting, we'll be outside. Walking the beach, moving our bodies, letting the salt air do what salt air does. The home we are staying in has good outside space and has one double kayak at the ready. More kayaks and beach bikes are available for rental with prior notice.

Hopefully I can arrange a jam session with local musicians and friends. Many factors influence this happening, so no guarantees, but if you play, bring your instrument, voice, listening ears. Sharing the particular joy of making music together in a room full of people who have spent the week learning to let themselves lose the feeling of being judged is such a treat. I’ll bring my bass and a book full of songs!

We will have meals together with breakfast, lunch and dinner provided as part of the workshop. I will take your dietary restrictions into consideration as we build the weekly menu, so please state those when you register.

Estimated Cost: $1300-1600+ based on room choice and extra amenities chosen. (bikes and kayaks can be reserved for you)
