Are you craving in-person connection like I am? I have something that I think is a solution.  I invite you to join me for a special photo tour in beautiful Ireland. Within our group you’ll find like-minded travelers who love to photograph in the midst of having a great adventure. This trip is about feeling good, having fun, and living well.  Particularly beautiful in the autumn with the trees turning gold against the green grasses—Ireland is a natural paradise that invites your spirit to soar. This amazing trip will touch on what it’s like to explore a new culture. You’ll get your feet wet along the sandy beaches, listen to unmistakable sound of the uilleann pipes in the pubs, walk in the paths of the ancient celts, share laughter, visit with farmers, meet artisans, eat incredible food straight from the garden, and capture dramatic photographs with stories to tell. Doing something creative gets us out of our heads and instead lets us access our heart and intuition. It helps us transcend the lists of pros and cons that are constantly being generated by our minds.    You’ll come home with memories that will last forever and images that will make your heart sing.  Best of all, you get to relax into rediscovering connecting with new people as you celebrate and uncover Ireland's culture.  On Ireland’s most celebrated day, join me for this tour October 19 – 27th. More information here >> Slainte,  Clare www.PhotoEncaustic.com 651-246-1831 if you have questions

Radiant edges of day, veiled in mystery, quiet as a held breath, yet energized by the tensions between shifting darkness and light—these will serve as the inspirations for our weeklong retreat at Lora Murphy's Mulranny Studios, October 3 - 10, 2023!

A week-long retreat at the EncaustiCastle, not unlike EncaustiCamp, but richer, deeper, more intimate and therefore more propelling.

90% of the artists’ work is creative propulsion which animates the 10% to the desired end.

What’s inside you?

The experiences, education, discoveries, explorations; these all come together to make up the unique form of you. For each new generation stories beg to be told in the voice that can be heard and understood. You, artist, are here to tell these stories, in just the way you do, uniquely, so someone else can hear, learn, grow, and go on to tell it to their own tribe. Ask yourself, how do you want to grow and evolve your practice? What do you feel ready to bring to the world? The answers are sometimes blurred by our day-to-day. Listen to Your Life is time, resource, and inspiration to help you crystalize your path. This way we each, and altogether, become what existence is meant to be. 

What is your way?

Listen to Your Life.

This week-long retreat is all about painting, creating, discovering, exploring, learning, and revealing all the ways in which your hands can come to tell the story of your life in fresh and enlivening ways so that your world can see, hear, and want, more of that. 

Come along; feed your body with good food, movement, and sunshine. Come hungry for the delicious discoveries that await your mind, and feast at the rich banquet prepared for the feeding of your soul.

The time is now.

Listen to Your Life.

A live guided group gathering to usher in spring! 

Each day at 1pm eastern a live zoom 10+/- minute exercise to begin a new painting. At the end of the month, as the temperatures warm into spring in this northern hemisphere, you will have before you 31 new places to begin from in your painting and creative practice!

We will use paint (come with whatever medium you have; encaustic, acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel) and charcoal, graphite (pencil), caran d’arche. Mix it up based on what you have in your studio; do not feel you must have these exact materials.

I will work on watercolor paper cut to my desired size, intending a collection of all same size creations. You come with the surfaces and size you want to begin with each day!

This is the second year we will gather this way and feedback has suggested that these creations, and the experience, just get better as you return to them after they’ve had time to rise <3 
I look forward to you all and this time that will surely be a little bit of hitting the refresh button for a coming new awakening season of growth.
