Festival of Feminine Power + Artistry: EMERGENCE, The Homecoming Gathering, October 2–4, 2026, live online.

A Sacred Container of devotion to yourself. Devotion to your heART-full siSTARS. Devotion to your creative spirit.

There are moments in life when we don't need more information.

We need sacred space. We need an oasis from the “noise.” We need inspiration. We need beauty. We need meaningful conversation. We need to laugh until our cheeks hurt, paint until time disappears, and remember what it feels like to be surrounded by women who truly see us.

This is one of those weekends.

For the past four years, you have traveled to my hometown of Joseph, Oregon to gather for the Festival of Feminine Power + Artistry.

This year, Joseph comes to you.
Our theme this year is EMERGENCE.

What wants to emerge through you? A new way of being? A deeper relationship with yourself? A creative project? Greater peace More courage? More joy?

As the world continues changing around us, this retreat invites us to become steady from within.

Rather than reacting to the noise...we become creators.

Rather than waiting for certainty...we become the ones willing to listen.

One brushstroke.

One conversation.

One beautiful remembering at a time.

Women gathered at the Joseph retreat with three vibrant collaborative paintings.
Together we will paint, meditate, write, receive, connect and play.

We'll create sacred space through a guided shamanic painting experience designed to help a powerful image emerge naturally from within you.

Not because you're trying to paint something beautiful, but because something beautiful is trying to reveal itself through you.

By the end of our weekend together, you'll have created a painting that becomes a living ally, a guardian, and a reminder of who you are becoming.

Why This Retreat Is Different

This isn't about learning another painting technique.

It isn't about producing beautiful artwork.

It isn't even about personal development.

It's about remembering yourself in community.

There is something profoundly healing about witnessing another woman becoming more fully herself.

Every year I leave our retreat inspired by your courage, your creativity, your vulnerability, your laughter, and your willingness to say yes to life.

This gathering has become one of my favorite weekends of the year.

An Intimate Gathering

This retreat is intentionally small.

It is being offered exclusively to women who have attended one of our Joseph retreats, participated in the Creative Frequency Coach Training, or are invited by someone within this beautiful community.

I love opening our circle to friends because our community has always grown heart first.

If someone you love would delight in this experience, bring her.

If You've Been Feeling...

A little disconnected...

Emotionally tired...

Creatively restless...

Unsure of your next chapter...

Longing for meaningful connection...

Ready for something beautiful...

Then perhaps this is your invitation.

Let's gather.

Let's paint.

Let's remember together.

Because what wants to emerge through one woman...

changes all of us.

Sliding Scale

Choose the investment that feels aligned for you. This weekend is about generosity. Trust. Abundance. Community. Simply select the level that feels joyful and supportive.

I know that something new will emerge for each of us who joins. Life will find a new, more inspired, wiser trajectory, even by just a bit… you will look back, maybe sometime this winter, or next spring, and be struck by, “it all started at the retreat!” In these highly transformational times, subtle shifts and openings create even greater expansion and change. The cosmic ground is fertile for our, your’s and my, frequency. And… we know it will be a blast and another TOTAL Love Fest! See you then! ~Whitney Freya
