I’m in complete awe of the intuitive painting process. I don’t understand why it is so powerful and healing, but it is. I could never have planned for the way things emerged or the sheer joy I found in just following whatever shapes, colors, strokes came up next.I felt a real and conscious connection to my intuition for what feels like the first time, and also to my body. Being able to access these connections are what will help me transform from living in fear to living in the fullness of life, in joy and freedom. The experience was perfection for me, divinely guided and I wouldn’t change a thing.  And oh Miss Julie…. what a gift you are to me. Our meeting was no accident. You show me where I am going, what is possible. You radiate love, acceptance, power, and compassion and you courageously choose to express that unreservedly (and unapologetically) with all those around you. I love it!! Thank you for this amazing retreat experience and for the strong space you held for me to grow and blossom. Deep love and overwhelming gratitude for you my precious friend. — Lori Giesler, Atlanta, GA
Julie’s retreat was an amazing adventure for me. It was beyond my expectations and I am excited about the possibility of doing it again. Julie has a manner and a creative way to help you find your comfort level and get past  roadblocks so you can be your natural sensual self. Her insight and awareness were guides along this heartfelt journey. Through paint I discovered mysteries within me. I learned to listen to my goddess-like inner wisdom and let her take the lead.  Dynamic movement and music opened me to true physical harmony, mental and spiritual balance. The wisdom circle gave me shared insight from loving women that I will value until the end of time. I was surprised that all elements of this retreat increased my feelings of self worth. I have never been so pampered! I have the power to reinvent myself inside and out and overcome obstacles to sensuality and bliss. Sharing this experience with like-minded beautiful wild women allowed me to realize that there is a lot more to loving and living. I adore being me. Thank you Julie for creating a spiritual gathering in such an incredible, healing, sacred space! You are a breathtaking blessing! And by the way, I LOVE GLITTER TOO! — Cindy Trader, Kansas City, MO

Dear, dear Julie – wow, what a gift you gave us. The exploration of self-care and love of our bodies was so caring, so warm, so loving and so powerful all at once. And you held the group in such a safe atmosphere. You are talented and powerful leader. Anyone attending one of your workshops will be blessed indeed.

And your painting facilitation is great too. You were so present and open – I really felt like you held my best interests at heart even when I was resisting.

Your ability to hold a group or an individual will carry you far. You totally rock. Love you.

The retreat was amazing and integrative. I was surprised at how quickly everyone’s “struggle” came up and then resolved itself thru the painting process. Discovering my archetypes and their different voices and how they speak to me was incredibly valuable. My archetypes were heard and they felt valued and respected. Finally they (and I) found stillness with the self and each other.

I loved painting and dancing together and then evenings to further learn and debrief. Four days did not feel long enough. I will be coming back for more.

Julie, you have an easy caring confident leadership style with a definite sense of fun. Your message embrace life, embrace your body, all with respect and love is a really important message, especially for women.

You led us through the massage and caring exercises confidently, consciously attuned to the group and individuals. No shame, no apologies, no insecurity in your guidance. I appreciate the self care and respect! It was an enriching experience.
-- Lissa Miner, Seoul, Korea
