Reimagining The Past | And Other Miscellaneous Adventures August 22nd-24th, 2025

  • Live Workshop

What if the past doesn’t really exist at all and we are just living a version of it over and over? What if we could capture a moment from our past and shift it into a powerful and beautiful memory that nurtures the best version of ourselves? What if the past can be changed, shifted, mined for the gold that is hidden within it? What if we could bring our reimagined past into current time and live from this transformed atmosphere?

Join with artist Kate Poole at Hunter Moon Homestead for a transformational mixed media art retreat. We will weave together art making with ritual, contemplation, nature walks, and creating powerful intentions for a reimagined present moment. 

We will explore and delve into our deep past using paint, print making, vintage and nostalgic images, sketching, story-telling, exploration of the healing power of color, exploration of mark making as symbolism, and weaving. 

I look forward to reimagining with you because after all, "merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream..."
