The Hosts

Jennifer & Emily are a creative duo who met while both living in Copenhagen. After leading art groups together in the city, a dream was born of their shared passions of creating spaces to nurture creativity and their love of travel. It has been a dream come true to host retreats together, witnessing the power of getting away, relaxing, recentering and spending time connecting with others and your creativity.

Emily Sharp

Emily is a licensed art therapist with a Masters in Art Therapy and a BFA in Studio Art and Creative Writing. As the author of The Guided Art Therapy Deck, she is passionate about helping people feel better through developing their own unique creative practices.

Kind Words

“Thank you Jen & Emily for an exceptional retreat! You are both exceptionally talented and your warm approach created an environment where creativity flourished and friendships were forged. From the exceptional location, cuisine, & activities, every aspect was thoughtfully curated- a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure- can’t wait to do it again!”

– Kim
“I couldn’t have asked for a more varied art/wellness retreat: painting &creating with a variety of mediums, creative writing and reflections, yoga and meditation wellness, and a chance to enjoy the outdoors. The retreat was one of the best I have attended, and I cannot wait to join another.”

- Linda
“Self care is often advertised as going to get a massage or a manicure but I would argue that a retreat with Jen and Emily is the ultimate self care experience. You get to show up and be pampered with time to reconnect with your creativity and your authentic self. I left the retreat with a renewed sense of self and inspiration to continue to create! Thanks for a wonderful weekend of art, friendship, & rest!”
