Makewell Winter Retreat

Makewell | wearemakewell.com

I had the joy of attending the 3rd Annual Maker Retreat hosted by Makewell at Stiklestad Lodge near Fort Ransom, North Dakota. Makewell was founded around the need for a local community of makers + dreamers.

Mission: This year’s retreat will give an in-depth look at your greatest asset: You. Reflect on your inner reality to get clear about who you are and where you’re going. Let’s go beyond goals and get to expressing your authentic entrepreneur.

They created an environment open for vulnerability and connection. I left the weekend connected to an amazing, unique group of people energized to start a new year.

Art Buddies

Art Buddies, based in the Twin Cities, is a creative art mentor program for children. It is an after school program where volunteers are matched with a child and create a costume to foster creativity, imagination and confidence. I have had the joy of participating for two sessions. After weeks of creating with your art buddy, with donated supplies such as cardboard, fabric, and paper, they are able to show off their creation with a parade through the school. The school’s drum line sets the energy for the parade, it is a great joy to see all of the costumes and smiles.

Lodged Out Retreat

Leavenworth | WA

As I am natural introvert who loves talking to new people and traveling this was a great experience! The group of 45+ makers and creators were open to being vulnerable about sharing life experiences and passions. We started the morning cross-country skiing, gazing at mountains and ended the day learning about astrophotography, outdoor preservation, writing, sustainability, and life. One also forgets how lovely it is not to be connected to the internet and instead having conversations with people in person. Mountains are also magical.

Attend! Go! Experience!
