NOW LIVE… July 10 - 12

the heart on the page weekend creative retreat for women womxn manhattan

The Heart on the Page is curated by Australian interdisciplinary artist and creative producer Toni Short, and co-hosted alongside creative activist and writer Joni Daidone and master memoirist Sylvie Bertrand.

Join us for an immersive retreat of creative exploration and expression rooted in body, voice, memory, and story.

Together, we will write, paint, move, reflect, and create within an intimate, collaborative and supportive environment, culminating in a celebratory salon sharing stories generated during the retreat.

Guided by three master artists and mentors, you’ll move from deep inner listening and sensory exploration to shaping your memories and experiences into a personal story on the page. Through supportive creative exercises, reflection, and narrative guidance, you’ll develop a written and/or visual work to share at a culminating live public salon with friends, family, and community.

What’s Included:

4-Stage Multidisciplinary Process & Workshops: Somatic listening, sensory exploration, exploring a blank canvas to public stage event

Creative Guidance from 3 Artists: Individualized mentorship from three creators guiding you through permission, discovery and craft.
