​Hey Y'all, 
We want to invite you to join us for a soul-filled, high energy, southern style creative experience with Tiffany Goff Smith (Southern Gals Designs), Kiala Givehand (LifeAlchemist), and Cindy Gilstrap (Junque Art).

This virtual retreat is going to be magical and fun. We've created an inspirational and immersive weekend with creativity, artsy energy, raw & real conversations, journaling, bookbinding,  and lots of Southern Hospitality. 

This 2.5 day adventure will be virtual on ZOOM and limited to 22 participants.

We invite you to immerse yourself in self-expression, uninhibited raw emotions, conversations with your artsy sisters, and loads of messy mark making, painting, and journaling. And if you have ever had the pleasure of watching one of Tiffany or Kiala’s YouTube videos, or connected with Cindy online, then you know there will be lots of laughter and messy goodness. 
Come on over and spend two and a half days getting artsy with us.

Kiala's Style

Soulful

---

Kiala is a bookbinder, poet,  storyteller, & LifeAlchemist. Her creative style is filled with love, elemental energy, and soul. She creates from a space of intuitive knowing and intentional joy.

If you've spent any time around Kiala you know that she's likely to whip out a fountain pen and ask you to tell her your story. 

Tiffany's Style

Raw

---

When you experience Tiffany for the first time, you life is NEVER the same after that. She is a powerful presence of energetic light. She is sass and southern hospitality wrapped in creative joy and messy, raw, and honest art making. 

Tiffany uses color and texture to express herself and if you stand still too long in one place, she is likely to slap some gesso and a little masking tape on ya. If you want to see how much she changes people's lives, just follow the hashtag #tiffmademedoit.  

Cindy's Style

Quirky

---

Cindy is a spreader of love, color, and creativity. Once you get to know Cindy you'll discover that she loves to play with paint, paper, and fabric. Wherever she goes she leaves colorful messes filled with JOY and love.

Cindy is on a mission to remind you that you are enough and it's okay for you to let your light SHINE.

The Experience

This weekend will be filled with casual conversations, lifelong connections, feverish art making, and delicious bookbinding. Your art and your heart will never be the same.

Retreats have a beautiful way of opening our hearts & minds so that we can dive to the depths of our inner wisdom. During this retreat, you will meet your desires on the page and journey with them towards a more authentic and creative YOU.

During this 2.5-Day creative experience, you'll get to:

• play with a mix of art supplies
• learn a variety of techniques for creating painted pages
• explore your personal style and color palettes
• expand your journaling toolkit (art and written)
• check in with your muse and learn to hear her intuitive voice
• redefine creativity through the lens of self-discovery, self-compassion, and self-awareness
• gently connect to your inner artist
• ​discover new ways to dialogue with yourself
• experience three distinct artistic styles by working with Kiala, Cindy, and Tiffany

You will leave feeling renewed, inspired, and ready to create on your own.
We can’t wait to get Soulfully Raw & be Quirky with you.

PAYMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY
There are no refunds for this workshop. Because space is limited, we ask that you purchase mindfully. Here's what you need to know to help you make an informed decision:

1. We are asking all participants to have their camera during the virtual retreat. This is important to the energy of the group and the power of your presence helps us create a beautiful experience for everyone. Of course if you need to step away for a couple of minutes or you need to attend to your life for a moment or two, we understand the need to turn your camera off. 

2. We are NOT recording the sessions. This is just like if you went to an in person retreat -- there would be no cameras recording. You would just be in the moment and present with those in the space. We want the same experience. We want you to be present, not relying on a replay. 

3. The three of us are teachers and business owners. We ask that you understand that our lessons and techniques are NOT to be taught or copied and taught to others. We trust that you can honor this request. If not, this may not be the retreat for you. We ask that you come with integrity in every possible way. 

If you still have questions, please ask one of us. We are eager to help you make the right decision for this retreat.
