Wild Wonder
in Taos, New Mexico
Sunday, April 20th – Friday April 25th, 2025
and Sunday, Sept 28th – Friday, October 3rd, 2025
The first thing you notice is the light; Salmon pink mornings nestled in billowy white clouds. Then there’s the smell of piñon and coffee, the taste of green chilis and corn bread.
This land is full of whispers and magic. It’s a place where stories get written, and artists wake up to the paintings inside of them. That’s why we’re here – to gently tease it out of us, to remember what we already carry, and how simple it is to create beauty when we are in a circle of like minded souls.
We’ve been dreaming of this place.
Taos, New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment. It’s a rugged and gorgeous country with big skies, sunrises and sunsets that you won’t believe.
We’ll be staying at the famed Mabel Dodge Luhan House, a gorgeous retreat center established in the 1920’s as a creative salon for artists and thinkers such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Willa Cather, Ansel Adams, Emma Goldman, and Alfred Stieglitz. The place has big history, each room is different and the food is out of this world.
What’s Included
- 5-nights in a private room at the Mabel Dodge Luhan house
- Breakfast & lunch every day by the incredible chef Sophia (all dietary needs can be accommodated)
- Wild Writing each day with Laurie
- Textile art + color exploration with Andrea

- Opening dinner & closing dinner at the amazing Mabel Dodge
Magic makers par excellence!
“I came away as empty as a begging bowl – heart broken wide open, mind clear as a cloudless desert sky, body cradled in kindness. I loved every minute of it! You two are a wizardly duo. Magic-makers par excellence!”
Barbara Azzoli, writer
If there is a spot available, GRAB IT!
“This is a gift for yourself. These ladies have a history of creating authentic magic individually, so together – wow! They effortlessly curate a group of women who have invisible and unexpected connections. Laurie & Andrea are beyond hosts, artists, or teachers – they are facilitators of messy authenticity, openness, trust and hope. I left forever grateful for the circle of connections and for my own renewed life options.”
Dionne Fox, coach
We have a buffet of delicious activities for you…
