A creative retreat.
Join us as we heal through creativity, connect with narrative, and learn to move to our new rhythms.
About Us
Kendra Foisie Rice
Kendra is a licensed mental health therapist (LMHC) certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). She is a former ballet dancer and holds a post graduate certificate in the healing benefits of expressive and creative arts. Kendra is a mother of two and passionately believes in supporting women through all aspects of motherhood.
At the retreat she will guide you through creative arts experiences curated to help you process feelings, connect to your true self, and learn tools to support you in your real life.
Hope Black
Hope is a professional artist and photographer, and is a seasoned art therapy facilitator. In college, she studied Cultural Anthropology with a particular interest in Ethnomusicology, and currently resides on a small island in the Pacific Northwest with her partner and their 4 year old son. Hope's interest in helping women stems from becoming a mother and decades of therapy.
At the retreat she will lead connective sessions based on art therapy techniques, the goal of which will be to rediscover parts of yourself that,
as a mother, may have been lost in the craziness of creating and living life.
Why We Are Here
Our journey to retreat-building began on a forest walk where we confided in each other about the many difficulties and joys of motherhood. We realized that there was a real need for mothers to be heard - actually listened to - seen, held, and healed in order to be the best parents they can be. We believe mothers' ability to care for their physical, mental, and emotional selves directly impacts the world around them, big and small.
We both have felt a calling to lead retreats for a long time, so we're teaming up! Today, we have many plans to create spaces for women to grow and heal, and we're starting right here.
