Stitch & Stillness: A Creative Reset for Fiber Artists
Breathe new life into your creative practice.
A weekend reprieve from the busy world, a chance to breathe and take a break to focus on you, and what you love most, creating!
Sometimes, we just need to hit reset.
Slow stitching, open space to craft, and deep connection.
Stitch & Stillness was born out of a need for us creatives to have a space to rest, and to reconnect to our creativity amidst the challenges of life.
Spend a weekend with us and return to your craft with a sense of joy and new found inspiration.
Set in a beautiful historic home Fort Atkinson Wisconsin
January 8-10 2027
Remember the joy that first called you to create.
Stitch and Stillness a weekend immersive experience to reignite your creativity, connect with other fiber artists, and leave with renewed focus and flow. A chance to set your creative intentions for the year.
In a time when everything seems to be moving faster and faster, the next trend, the next news cycle, new tech, but not here. Stitch & stillness is a space to Slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover your creative joy.
Through guided meditations, reflective journaling, time in nature, and open creative studio sessions you will connect to your intuition, your materials, and leave the weekend feeling inspired.
A day on retreat:
Meditation and Ceremony :
Begin the retreat in ceremony. Our guided meditations are meant to ground your body, soften resistance to creativity, and open you to greater flow. Ritualize your creative practice with daily meditations and journaling sessions to powerfully set your intentions for your next cycle.
Creative Flow Sessions:
Spend unhurried blocks of time exploring your mediums. You’ll have access to shared materials, mentorship, and the freedom to create without deadlines or expectations.
Connection and Community:
Magical things happen when artists gather. We share stories, songs, encouragement, understanding, and insight. through our conversation we understand ourselves and our crafts better than before and feel connected to something larger than us, even if we’ve been stuck in rut lately.
Nature and Nourishment:
Enjoy delicious local food from Fort Atkinson’s Restaurants, Wholesome Meals at the house, and a river walk to replenish your creative well. Because an artistic process needs rest too, not just constant stimulation.
Our Flow:
Using They Way of Hearing the Creative Heart, my Signature method,
we will connect to our inner wisdom and from that space create with new found inspiration.
First, Ground in ritual and intention when you arrive.
Then we open the wisdom channel,
Practice embodiment and creatively to express what wants to come through us,
Next we integrate our new insights
and finally move forward with clarity and creativity.
What other’s are saying:
Are you struggling with ritualizing your creative practice and want to get into a routine with the support of expert guides and creative community? are you burnt out and running on empty from your 9-5 and just want some time to create without the pressures of being at home? are you craving new inspiration or your next breakthrough? are you feeling stuck or disconnected from your creative flow?
Everyone tells you that you need to breathe, rest, follow your intuition, but rarely are people sitting down with you and teaching you HOW. I am going to spend the weekend with you, guiding you through practices that have helped me because I believe that we need creative people to take up their work and bring it out into the world.
We need people who are PRACTICED in the art of creativity, not stuck. Because if we are going to build the world that we want to see, we need people with vision who can also make it happen.
Give yourself the gift of a weekend to go from burnt out to re-inspired.
Go from Overstimulated to Taking a Deep Breath.
This is a moment of stillness in the midst of the storm. The space to actually do the transformation work needed to live in this fast paced world.
We’re not asking you to produce anything, to prove anything, to be perfect, or show up with anything already figured out. All you need to do is slow down.
We’re not asking you to tush into the next thing, this is a retreat in the true sense of the word. taking a step back so you can get a clearer vantage point.
Not cramming a new skill into your brain in a chaotic learning environment, but learning the art of the sacred pause.
the pause is where you breathe before you act, Stitch & Stillness is the container for you to live that.
From Spread Thin, to Intentional with where you want to put your energy.
Choose from beautifully decorated and cozy rooms.
Limited spaces.
