play your way into deeper connection

This Spring, join me on Lake Manitoba for a creative arts therapy & sex therapy weekend retreat, embodying desire. 

Drop people-pleasing and take ownership of what thrills you. 

• Grow capacity to feel joy, intimacy, and relational ease.

• Build awareness of your emotional body's patterns in relationship.

• Find stability within discomfort to move through conflict.

We get into this through artmaking and dramatic play, like character creation, object-making, bilateral drawing, collage, story, games, play, poetry, painting, drawing, somatic movement, and multisensory meditation.

As with all my offerings, the event is queer-led and neurodivergent-affirming. Run by Art Therapist Dani Minuskin, and me, relationship counsellor & Drama Therapist Susie Showers, we welcome anyone who wants to explore new ways to understand and express their desires, for personal or professional growth. Couples and polycules are also welcome.

All of this in collaboration with The WHEAT Institute at a stunning beachside studio with access to cabin lodging. Workshop fee includes:

• Winnipeg airport pick-up and drop-off

• Private beach and kayak

• Art materials and open studio space

• Arctic swim spa with infinity current

• Access to nature trails and walking labyrinth

May 22 - 24, 2026 at Painted Sky Studio, a lakefront retreat centre in St. Laurent, Manitoba. Price starts at $619 and space is limited to 12 participants.
