February 6th - 8th, 2026
From Idea to Impact: Everything You Need to Clarify, Create, & Confidently Share Your Offering
Our Retreat Location is nestled at the base of the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, just four blocks from Old Colorado City’s charming historic downtown—where art galleries, boutiques, and local cafés invite you to wander and be inspired.
You care about helping others and want to reach more people who need your work. But getting students or clients to sign up isn’t always easy.
Marketing can feel confusing, overwhelming, or just plain draining.
You’re not alone...and none of this means you’re doing anything wrong.
How teaching just one repeatable workshop or presentation to other communities can help you reach more participants to grow your business.
Creating and touring one, simple and repeatable Workshop Presentation was an absolute game changer. In 2025, it helped me:
Grow my email list by 4,500+ aligned students
Earn consistent five-figure months
Fill workshops without relying on social media
Now, I'm inviting you to design your own Signature Workshop in a space that’s cozy, creative, and deeply supportive.
Clarify what you're here to teach
Design an offering that feels authentic and aligned
Attract students or clients who light you up
Market your work in a way that feels simple and natural
Get templates and personalized coaching
Finally move from idea to action
No more overthinking. No more hiding. No more "someday."
Testimonial from Liz C., Mindful Artist & Facilitator
"I spent years collecting ideas but never felt ready. This retreat helped me organize everything into clear, teachable offerings. I left with two Signature Workshops, a clear roadmap to tour it to larger audiences, and so much confidence. For someone like me, starting later in life, this retreat was everything. I gained clarity, direction, support, and a beautiful circle of women."
This is not a cookie-cutter retreat. It’s an intimate, 3-day experience designed to help you create and confidently share your Signature Workshop—with just 5 participants total. You’ll receive:
Personalized coaching in a private, art-filled retreat home
Daily group sessions and creative time to map out your offering
A post-retreat 1:1 coaching call for early birds
Warm, sunny Colorado winter days in a vibrant arts district
A calm, supportive atmosphere that sparks clarity and flow
Plus, full access to my complete Signature Workshop Tour system—
including all the tools, email templates, frameworks, and tracking sheets that helped me grow my email list by 4,500+ aligned students and book 60+ partner events in 2025.
You’ll leave with your Signature Workshop or Presentation fully outlined, your marketing mapped out, and the confidence to bring it to life.

Testimonial from Adriana S., Artist & K-12 Teacher
"I came in with scattered ideas and left with a complete framework for how to structure and share my work. Cynthia’s kindness and teaching style helped me shape real classes I’m excited to offer. Plus, painting outside at Garden of the Gods was deeply inspiring and healing."

Testimonial from Christa H., Art & Yoga Retreat Host
"Coaching with Cynthia is invaluable. Her support helped me refine my Signature Workshop, simplify my marketing, and create a sustainable path for my business. Shortly after she coached me, I nearly filled my own Mindful Art Retreat, and was able to step away from teaching weekly classes a year earlier than planned. Her guidance changed everything."
