Art & Faith Creative Retreats 2025:

A Journey of Inspiration and Faith

We are thrilled to announce that the last two Creative Retreats for 2025 are OPEN for Registration!

As the world continues to change at such a rapid pace, many of us find ourselves yearning for a deeper connection with our creativity… and our faith. So what better opportunity to immerse yourself than in an environment that nurtures both Art and Faith?

In 2025, we are offering three extraordinary Creative Retreats that do just that!

Here’s a glimpse into these incredible retreats and why they’re set to be the highlight of your year.


Lake Como, Italy

Nestled in the picturesque beauty of Lake Como, Bellagio is a haven for our weeklong retreat. Scheduled for June 2025, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the serene landscapes of one of Italy’s most stunning locations.

You’ll also enjoy a blend of creative workshops, morning devotions and beautiful moments with other like-minded women. This retreat will focus on integrating art with our faith, encouraging all of us to use our creativity to connect to our Creator in this awe inspiring location. Our teachers for this retreat will be Elaine Lee from @Dearelaine and myself, Laura McCollough.

With stunning lake views and lush gardens as your surroundings, we pray it will be an inspiring and rejuvenating experience, combining the beauty of God’s creation with the exploration of your artistic creativity!


Jackson Hole, Wyoming

In late July of 2025, the breathtaking landscapes of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, will host our “Western” Art & Faith Creative Retreat! Set amidst the majestic Teton Mountains and expansive wilderness, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to explore our creativity in a setting that is both rugged and inspiring.

We’ll engage in outdoor activities that’ll focus on how to infuse our creative practice into our every day life. This retreat will emphasize the relationship between nature and art, encouraging us to draw inspiration from the stunning natural surroundings. With morning devotions and a themed Bible Study, excursions into the beautiful surroundings and creative opportunities for artistic expression, this retreat promises a profound connection between creativity, faith and the beauty of God’s creation.


Paris and Normandy, France

In September of 2025, the City of Light, Paris, France, will host our Parisian Creative Retreat. A retreat designed to immerse ourselves in the intersection of art, creativity, and faith… in a very unique way!

Paris and the Normandy Coast are renowned for their artistic heritage and vibrant cultural scene, offering an inspiring backdrop for this incredible retreat that will highlight the Impressionist era.

We’ll engage in a variety of artistic workshops, including painting, journaling, and mixed-media art that will explore the theme of Impressionism. With opportunities to explore iconic landmarks that our favorite Impressionists painted, see the museums full of their art, and explore the charming neighborhoods and places they lived and gained inspiration from, this Creative Retreat promises to be the height of artistic exploration and creativity!

Here’s a little video of some of the places we’ll see next year:

Friends, I want you to know that each retreat is prayed over, carefully organized, and beautifully crafted to create a space where you can explore all the creative potential God has for you. All while deepening your understanding of God’s Word through our devotional time in the Bible, meeting new friends that you’ll enjoy these memories with for the rest of your life, and just exploring these incredible settings we’ll be in!

I sincerely hope you’ll pray about joining us at this intersection of Art and Faith. I know many women who have joined us over the years, that have been praying about what God has next for them, and the Lord has worked in incredible at these retreats! I also know many women who long to come, but haven’t yet because of many different reasons. Traveling alone is intimidating, spending this kind of money is a huge step, not knowing another soul at the retreat is scary… but all of these reasons can be a hindrance or an opportunity to trust the Lord and take a step of faith. And that is why I ask each women to prayerfully consider joining us, because when we seek the Lord’s will, He WILL direct our path!(Provers 3:5-6)

I know these retreats will be highlight of your year, and a catalyst for what God has for you next, no matter which one you choose to join us on!

Have a GREAT weekend and hugs to all,

Laura McCollough
