Kind Words:

"The “Wings Of Transformation” retreat was fabulous beyond my expectations. Nadine planned a perfect balance of art projects and free time. Mazatlan was amazing. We had great food, the accommodations were wonderful with charming hosts, and the other women in the retreat were vibrant and fun and interesting. I feel like I have a new family!!. And the retreat has inspired me to try new things and has kick started my own art practice!! I can't wait to come back next year!!"  Jan, 2024
