Awakening Your Inner Voice is a half-day immersive retreat designed to awaken your creative spirit and deepen your connection to your inner world. Set in the serene gardens of the California Center for Creative Renewal in Encinitas, this experience invites you into a gentle, nourishing space for reflection, expression, and renewal.

Guided by two master facilitators—expressive arts therapist Ellen Speert, and award-winning author, writing coach, and Certified Laughter Yoga leader Cherie Kephart, this unique offering weaves together intuitive writing, expressive arts, and embodied practices including laughter yoga, and meditation.

Throughout the morning, you’ll explore the grounding and playful nature of art, the clarity that emerges through intuitive writing, and the power of breath, movement, and laughter to open the body and release tension. Each modality becomes a doorway inward—supporting insight, emotional expression, and creative flow.

Whether you feel creatively blocked, emotionally full, or simply curious, this retreat invites you to slow down, listen inward, and express what’s ready to emerge. No artistic or writing experience is necessary—only a willingness to explore.

This intimate gathering is offered by donation (suggested $25–$50). Space is limited to 20 participants.
