Picture yourself waking up each morning and embarking on a creative journey full of play and possibility. 

The Be Present Retreats are an invitation to pause in your life and gather in an intimate, creative community to explore, create, discover, and soak up the world around you. Each retreat includes creative workshops paired with exercises to remind you to open your eyes and heart and be present on your path. Each retreat also encourages a balance of time spent in community with time to reconnect with you.

A commitment to comfortable, beautiful surroundings are a component of these retreats held in the Pacific Northwest. The goal is for you to feel as though you are experiencing a true respite from the hecticness of your life as you take time for yourself while connecting with others through workshops, meals, and evening activities.

Liz Lamoreux is the organizer for each retreat. She is a yoga teacher, editor, artist + crafter, and writer living in the Puget Sound area with her husband and golden retriever. She believes in the importance of time spent recharging and refilling the soul's well so that we can be present in our daily lives in a more open and truthful way. Her experiences of community with other artists has encouraged her to see creativity as a form of yoga, and she now honors creating and writing as part of her personal yoga practice.
