A Retreat in Sacre Terre Village
of Parma, Italy
October 2-5, 2025
We are so excited to invite you to an unforgettable 4-day creativity retreat - painting infused with the beautiful music of Niccole Blaze,
at the serene and historical land of Sacre Terre Village.
We will embrace the theme "The Sacred Tree of Life," a powerful, universal symbol representing the profound connection between the earth, the sky, and the entire creation. It embodies the essence of who we are - our family lineage, DNA, and interconnectedness. With its deep roots and expansive branches, the Tree of Life reflects our relationship with creation, the elements and the Mystery.
Found in spiritual traditions across the world, it symbolizes strength, growth, transformation and the sacred.
Painting your own Tree of Life is a journey of self discovery and connection, inviting you to explore your roots, embrace your growth and honor the sacredness of life.
Imagine the magic of creating and exploring in this ancient site

We will house ourselves in the ancient buildings of the past, while experiencing soulful and sacred music, local Italian Cuisine, a nature eco pond, meditation and movement and be led through a creative process of painting your own personal Tree of Life. No previous experience is needed!

The ticket for this 4 day workshop is $1497 (materials, 3 nights lodging, concert and meals are included) (There are a limited number of scholarships available - If you want to come, and need help- reach out and talk with us.)
Olivia Marie and Uma Joy will facilitate a step-by-step painting process called
Intentional Creativity® ...
...a simple, yet profound, and ancient process where we take our intentions to the canvas. We create with inquiry and love. Using meditation, visualization, and journaling, we will shift and transform old stories to recover lost parts of ourselves. We can then dance with our Muse in a new accessible realm,
while enhanced by the soulful music of Niccole Blaze, opening our hearts to the beauty within and bringing it alive onto the canvas.
You don't need to know anything about it, you don't need to be a great or experienced painter - all that is requested is that you show up with an open heart and open mind to meet yourself and allow that which is inside to come forth. Your Muse guides you the rest of the way and we will be there supporting you too.

INTENTIONAL CREATIVITY TEACHER
Olivia Marie Oso is in LOVE with life. For the past twenty years, artistic expression has been her path. She is a 2015 graduate of the Color of Woman training and is a certified Teacher and Intentional Creativity coach.
"I have come to know what my deepest passion is.. (to paint what is inside my heart). It is my belief that when we know what our ‘gifts’ are and in turn share them in the world, we experience personal healing which then brings healing to the planet.
"
I believe we each have a sacred responsibility to know what we are here to cause and create, thus allowing us to connect with our own divinity. Within each of us lies symbols and a sacred language unique to our individual soul and art helps us express these."
