Fearless Spirit Retreat

An All-Inclusive Spiritual Art Retreat For Women On The Emerald Coast Beach of Florida

May 5-8, 2022
Santa Rosa Beach, FL

I believe you are brave

The Fearless Spirit Retreat offers a deeply awakening, intuitive journey in a space of freedom, without judgement or expectations.

You’re invited to come find your inner light with us! This retreat is one-of-a-kind and will offer you an opportunity for self discovery. You’ll explore art, music filled movement, nourishing food, and deep connections that can inspire your spirit in ways never before imagined.

“I believe that the more you push yourself creatively – the more comfortable you get with being uncomfortable – the braver you become in every aspect of your life. You begin to trust yourself more and know that you’ll figure things out. You start to feel braver and more empowered – more fearless!” – Lulu

What We’ll Do

Creativity is a powerful form of personal expression, and it can be expressed in many ways. Whether it be through art, music, or writing, creativity can show who you are and what matters most to you in life.

Even if you think you’re not creative – think again! Everyone has a unique, creative voice tucked away deep inside just waiting to come out. In our time together, we’ll explore how creativity expresses itself through us – in many ways. This includes:

♦ Art Projects ♦
Experience the beauty of creativity through art projects that are designed with you in mind. You’ll connect to your creative voice and allow it to come out to play in powerful ways.

♦ Guided Meditations ♦
Immerse yourself in guided meditations and visualizations to dive into a world deep within, without judgement and where anything is possible. You’ll uncover what your heart needs to hear by finding your authentic voice and allowing it to guide the way.

♦ Movement ♦
Explore dancing and movement to connect with your body’s energy and rhythm. You’ll practice putting your ego aside and allowing your body the grace to express itself, in a way that feels true to you.

♦ Writing ♦
Embrace writing and journaling as a container for deep introspection and discovery. You’ll give voice to your intuitive wisdom as you find a new way of expressing yourself in a safe and supportive environment.

♦ Sacred Circle ♦
Join in sacred circle with the women who have been called to walk this journey together. We’ll harness the power of women supporting women to celebrate, support, and honor the soul sisters you’re meant to meet.

Workshops at each retreat vary, but the goal is clear – to bravely jump into creative expression of all kinds and to remember that you can do hard things. You are fearless!

When information about this retreat was sent my way a little voice in me said … Yes, do it. At this moment in my life I’ve had questions. Who am I? Who am I meant to be? I’ve been seeking ways to help those questions be answered and come to the surface and out of my subconscious. Art with Soul -Mind, Body, and Spirit Retreat, gave me the tools and techniques and … time, to help me reconnect to my inner voice.

I felt so taken care of during the retreat. I was able to make connections that I never thought I would when I signed up.

Working with Lulu is so … easy! She delivers teachings in such a way that there’s plenty of room for creative expression. She’s honest about where her path as an artist, mom, and professional has taken, it put me at ease knowing there’s no “right way” to live your dream.

I experienced a restoration in my creative self and a new drive for finding my hidden path, a path that maybe I’ve ignored as life just keeps moving along. I was able to really focus my attention during the weekend on the details of that hidden path and pay attention to what I really want and how I want to express that path.

If you’re interested in taking the time to explore your creative self while taking care of you, a retreat with Lulu is the way to go. A retreat with Lulu is self care for the creative soul. For those individuals who need to fuel all of their senses while feeling fully pampered and taken care of, and learn the skills to spark those feelings beyond the retreat.

I wanted to discover ways to meld creativity within several aspects of relaxation/meditation and … I did.

Thank you Lulu

Meet Your Retreat Guide

I’m Lulu. I’m a painter, dancer, and Life Igniter. I believe we are here to create a life of meaning, and to have fun while doing it! I help women go from wishing, dreaming, and talking about what they want to do, to taking action so they have the self-confidence and courage to pursue their passions and share their light with the world.

I believe that having fun is an essential part of any day, and that when you prioritize joy and gratitude in your life, you’re able to bounce back from harder times much easier.

As a mom of four, I know how important it is to take care of myself so I can show up better for others. I created a business around this mission, offering workshops and retreats for other women who want the same thing that I do – more joy!

I stumbled upon this retreat in facebook events calendar and I thought this could be amazing. I wanted to take a leap of faith and find something to challenge and teach me about art, as well as a possible new community to be a part of, as community is what we crave in today’s world. I found this with the 2 + day retreat.

Working with Lulu was amazing. She has brought a calm, balanced, open energy to the retreat. Her sweet handwritten cards sent to my home even before starting the retreat blew me away as we have never met before. This showed me her intention and willingness to be open and connected to each and everyone of us.

Lulu provides a safe and loving environment to be YOU without judgement. She is interested in what we create by ourselves with her instructions and without. She is encouraging and kind. My experience was awesome and I felt her heart energy as I hugged her goodbye and didn’t want to leave.

People should want to work with her because of the intention and love she brings to her work.

Art with Soul

I love combining art with writing. It’s a transformational pairing that heals me at a deep level. I call it Art with Soul. Not only do you learn about making art, but you learn about yourself at the same time! It’s a process like no other, and I can’t wait to show you why I love it.

The best part is that you don’t need have a creative bone in your body to make art. The workshops are designed for beginner and experienced creatives alike. The most important part is that you show up and be fearless in your willingness to try.

Art projects often include mixed media, intuitive painting, assemblage, doodling, writing, and lots of fun techniques. Take a look!

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 excercises, 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 freetime. 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.

My experience at the retreat was wonderful. I liked the size, 12 of us was just right. The location was great. The time of year couldn’t have been better-Spring was just manifesting.

I especially appreciated the variety of meals that were offered. I have a food allergy, and it was not a problem at all.

I really enjoyed the spiritual aspect of it. Regardless of religion, I think we all felt a connection with a power greater than ourselves, and were given opportunities to apply that within our projects.

The art classes were just delicious to me. I felt like I could just take my ideas and run with them. I spent lots of extra time outside of classes working on art projects.

Lulu was a great leader. She really sparked our creativity, but then she gave us room to make it our own. The other ladies there were beautiful souls. We really enjoyed getting to know one another.

There really isn’t a negative thing I could say about it. It was a beautiful weekend, well worth the expense.

I came away enriched and ready to apply what I’d learned to new art projects.

Thanks Lulu for following the impressions you had to hold this retreat. I hope to do it again!

To all women out there, it is important to take time to nurture yourself. This retreat did just that by providing instruction in the art of journaling/writing, intuitive painting, circle talk and a fun salsa dance lesson. I have met an incredible group of women that share similar ideas and supported all of us as we shared openly about ourselves. The facilitator was incredible and made us feel very included and in touch with our inner selves.

My favorite part of the weekend was the painting. I’m hanging my picture in my townhouse downtown and ordered a large canvas to do an intuitive painting for the main room!
I liked that we did the writing, dancing, and the visionbook. The variety kept me stimulated.
I was initially worried it would be all younger women and I really liked that it was all age groups sharing with each other!
I really liked the casual accepting nature of this workshop. I really felt filled up and left feeling good about myself and others.
