Creative Retreats for Women

Our Inner Illume mission is to provide space for you to reconnect with yourself so you can shine your light brightly to those around you

 
 

We provide the container for you to release other’s expectations and get back to hearing your own inner voice.

‘THE VOICE OF OUR ORIGINAL SELF IS OFTEN MUFFLED, OVERWHELMED, EVEN STRANGLED, BY THE VOICES OF OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS.’

  • Julia Cameron The Artists Way

100% felt a sense of community - I felt encouraged (even though I was out of my comfort zone sometimes) supportive, felt safe to share and be vulnerable. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better group of women.

Retreat Hosts Carolyn & Tammy

It was a great group. It was a supportive environment.
— Retreat Attendee
I felt called to attend as soon as Tammy & Carolyn shared it with me! I trust the creative vision of them both, and I knew they’d facilitate a space where women creatives could really tap in and enjoy! The location was also a huge drawing point, and knowing we’d be taken care of.
— Retreat Attendee
I knew it was going to be relaxed, super awesome and just embody community and that your vision for the retreat would also attract very like minded women that I could connect and feel comfortable with.

Details to come but heres a hint : salty air

We welcome any woman who is curious about herself and her life, and willing to hold space for others on a similar journey.

It is up to each attendee (you) to determine how you would like to share your creativity.

You may bring any camera you choose (ie. dslr, point & shoot, iPhone, etc) with knowledge on how it works as we will not be spending time covering mechanics or technical questions.

This is not a photo intensive or portfolio building retreat, although you will walk away with beautiful images of yourself to keep.

We do take photos, we journal and encourage any other form of creativity to inspire curiosity within yourself, but our main focus is on you, on being present and letting go of expectations.

REST

Take time in solitude & reconnect with your inner voice.

DREAM

Believe your voice and what it is telling you. Write it down.

HONE

Fill up your toolbox so you have a plan for the next time you find yourself blocked creatively.

CREATE

Experiment with other artists, share all your wild ideas, enjoy the process of creating, and let go of the end result.

Our beautiful limestone estate in Elora Ontario sleeps 11 women in shared rooms. We are hosting 2 women in each room with a King or Queen bed, you are welcome to attend with a friend. However, all the women who attend our retreats are good hearted, open, loving and kind women to share a room with.

Getting to and from the retreat is your own responsibility. Our facebook group is a great place to arrange ride shares, and to get to know the women before and after our retreats.

We are two down-to-earth, loving women, who are passionate about our creative careers ~ and yours. We believe in you, even before you do. We know that Creative Careers are taxing due to the fast pace of social media, the need to ‘keep up’, and sometimes we forget who we are and why we started in the first place. Well, we are here to get you back to you, back to your inner artist, bring her out and let her shine!

We’d love to host you at one of our creative + educational gatherings for entrepreneurs who want to be both inspirational & sustainable.

Our weekend retreats are especially great, they provide knowledge, support, and education to illuminate your inner light & maintain it’s glow it in a supportive community of women.
