Meet Your Guides
Hi! I’m Lulu – an artist, dancer, and Life Igniter. I empower others to uncover their passions, develop their strengths, and move past insecurities so they can feel more creative, valued, and fully supported in building a fulfilling life overflowing with purpose, joy, and abundance.
I believe in the healing power of community and love bringing people together to learn, share, and offer support. My mission is to motivate and inspire others to live joyfully and bravely pursue their dreams and desires.
Through specialty workshops and retreats, I cultivate safe spaces for people to be honest about the messiness of life and discover their power within it. There’s nothing more sacred than witnessing others unlock the parts of themselves that have been waiting within – empowering them to go for what they want with courage and confidence!

She encourages you to adopt new ways of seeing infinite possibilities of change to live your Authentic-Self.
I love art, writing, learning new techniques, and having life’s mundane churned up to create a fresh perspective, all alongside other women who want to do the same. This is a tall order and yet Lulu’s retreat fulfilled these desires and more.
I enjoyed a weekend in a beautiful, spacious home with tasty and nourishing meals provided. Through the meditation, intuitive writing, and art journal exercises, I unexpectedly found much sought-after freedom, love, and comfort in an area of life I had remained stuck in. This could only have happened in an atmosphere that felt safe enough to be artistically expressive. There was a perfect balance of feeling relaxed, yet motivated to explore the weekend themes of body, mind, and spirit.
Lulu knows how to create a space where women from different generations feel welcomed, valued, and understood. I enjoyed the sense of community offered in group circle time, around the meal table, or pottering through art supplies during the evening free time. I also enjoyed reflective time alone, simply sitting in the garden, wondering what the colours of tulips yet to unfold may be, and how these thoughts were symbolic of my life.
I recommend a retreat like the one Lulu provided for any woman who wishes to delve into their life more deeply using artistically expressive means while enjoying a break from the usual demands of life. I arrived back home feeling refreshed and wish the same for other women.

FAQ’s
What do I need to bring?
You’ll be provided with a supply list for the workshops prior to the retreat. We suggest dressing comfortably and wearing clothes you won’t mind getting dirty (just in case). Also, please bring any personal toiletries. Towels + linens are provided.
What if I have special dietary restrictions?
We’ll make every effort to accommodate your dietary needs. Please let us know at least 4 weeks prior to the retreat what you require.
What if I can't make the retreat and need to cancel?
There are no refunds for the retreat once you register unless we are able to fill your spot. If we fill your spot, there will be a $200 cancellation fee deducted from your refund.
Should we need to postpone the retreat due to weather or other extenuating circumstances, we will contact you about the new dates and give you the option to attend or receive a refund.
I'm not creative, is this for me?
Being creative is an innate gift that we all possess. You don’t need to know how to draw a straight line in order to tap into your creative wisdom. All of the workshops are for beginners and experienced creatives alike. We ask that you be brave, show up, and trust that you’re in good hands.
Will there be a workshop-only option for locals?
We feel that immersing yourself into the retreat environment by distancing yourself from your obligations and clearing your calendar is vitally important to the unwinding and tapping-in process. Therefore, we will not be offering a workshop-only option at this time.
What are your COVID-19 precautions?
We encourage all participants to take precautions in the 2 weeks leading up to the retreat and during travel to the retreat to ensure their health. If a participant is sick at the time of the retreat, we expect her to contact Lulu to discuss options for rebooking.
When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.
