2022 Art & Faith Creative Retreats
It’s almost time!!
Tomorrow we will be opening registration for our 2022 retreats, and we wanted to take some time to share on here where we are headed next year!
We can’t believe we have been hosting retreats for almost 10 years now, and the Lord just keeps making them sweeter and sweeter.
Thank you to each person who has joined us, you all have a special place in our hearts. And to those who have been following along on our retreats through social media and our blog, we are so thankful for you too! Each one of you make what we do such a blessing because we know God is working in them and our prayer is always that He gathers women together for His purposes! So hugs all around…
Now let’s get to our 2022 retreats…. here is where we are headed first!
The first retreat we are thrilled to be hosting in 2022 is our Paris & Bruges retreat!
As you already know, we are finally getting back to Paris & Bruges next Spring. We are so excited things have finally opened up in Europe… it has been long in the waiting, but we are set to go April of 2022!
This retreat has sold out, be we’ve decided to open it up to two more spots because it’s just such a beautiful time to be in Europe. Paris goes without saying… or should I say there are SONGS about Paris in the Springtime… but Bruges is also such a lovey little town built around a canal (they call it the Venice of the North) and we love sharing all our favorite places and people we have met with everyone!
You can find all the details for this retreat, April 3 - 13, 2022 and sign up HERE.
The second retreat we are doing in 2022 is in our beloved Bellagio, Italy!
You probably already know we love this area of Italy… but it truly is a breathtaking place where everywhere you turn is so gorgeous, you just can’t help see the beauty of God’s creation in all of it!
Technically, this retreat is in Bellagio, where we host our event at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni… (rated #1 resort in Italy by Travel & Leisure in 2019), but we love taking you all over (and ON) Lake Como during our week together. If you follow us on IG, then you’ve seen our lunches by the lakeside and our dinners on a hillside with stunning views of the lake. Many women have even asked us why we don’t advertise this retreat as a gastronomic tour of Italy because the food is so incredible! Well, yes… it truly is a feast for your eyes and stomach! Our time exploring and sharing this area with you, with some of our dearest friends who grew up here and know all the best places to go, is such a joy! So it IS all of that… but at the core of our heart for these retreats is to bring you to this amazing place to rest in the Lord’s beauty in an artful, creative, faith-filled way.
You can find all the details of this retreat next June 11 - 18, 2022 and sign up HERE.
And…
If you’ve dreamed of going to Venice, Italy some day… then why not join us AFTER this retreat for a five day “mini” retreat!
Yes, we are doing another retreat in Venice, Italy next summer! We love exploring and sharing this part of Italy with you as well. We’ve done a couple “add-on” retreats to Venice in the past, so we thought we’d do it again! This time it will be directly AFTER the Bellagio retreat, so we will all go down to Venice together from June 18 - 22 and stay in the heart of Venice as we enjoy 4 nights and 5 days together in this incredible floating city!
We didn’t have time to get all the exact details worked out for this retreat, but if you are wanting to add on to this retreat (or just go on this one on it’s own) you are welcome to email us and we will send you the details in the next few weeks. We should have everything worked out next week!
The last retreat we have planned for 2022 is in Woodstock, Vermont in the fall!
Ladies, this place is truly a show of God’s beauty when the seasons change here in New England. My husband and I planned our whole honeymoon around the fall foliage of New England (almost 32 years ago) and we fell instantly in love with Vermont. Especially Woodstock… it is a little town, more like a village, that is right out of a Normal Rockwell painting… or a version of Stars Hallow from Gilmore Girls! (including the town troubadour) We’re pretty sure you will fall in LOVE with it too!
We held our first retreat here in 2019 and it was a truly special retreat. I can’t put into works how spirit-filled this retreat was. We have so many incredible memories from this retreat and so many wonderful testimonies from the women who came. The Lord met us here and I know He will do it again.
This retreat is from Sunday to Friday, only because this is high, high, HIGH season in this area for “leaf peepers” and it is very expensive to host a retreat here. I’ve worked my hardest to keep the price down as much as I can to have it here, AND at the incredibly gorgeous Woodstock Inn right in the center of this picture perfect village. You will feel pampered, loved and hugged, and filled up on this retreat.
If you would like to join this retreat, October 2 - 7, 2022, you can find all the details and sign up HERE.
AND…
Since our retreats are usually a week to 10 days long, we’ve decided to add a “mini” retreat onto this one as well. We are going to explore Boston together for the weekend AFTER the Vermont retreat.
We will head to Boston for the Friday through Sunday after our Woodstock Inn retreat is finished. Boston is a fun city to explore and see the history of our great nation in. They also have one of the BEST “Little Italy’s” right in the heart of downtown Boston that we will be exploring together. There is so much to see, here but we will do our best to share with you some of the highlights of Boston and enjoy the food that is unique to this city in the two full days we have together.
If this is something you will like to join in on after the Vermont retreat, please email us and we will send out the information once we have our final details planned.
Well, that is all of it friends!
We hope you will prayerfully consider joining us on one of these retreats next year. We know life is full of so many opportunities out there to travel and explore as a group. We are so humbled and honored that you would want to join us, and we thank you SO MUCH for that!
We pray each year that the Lord will bring the women who He wants to be there, and He does. Every retreat it just blows us away how much He is in the details. If you think any of this is just a dream… and you can’t see it every happening for you…. Well, I answer that with PRAYER. God IS in the business of miracle, and if this is a desire of your heart and you give it to Him… He does the impossible in impossible ways! We see it and hear it every single year.
So we can’t wait to see what He does in 2022!
Hugs to all,
Laura McCollough
