Art and Nature Retreats for Adults
MORE INFO AND REGISTRATIONWhen: TBA
Where: Parkdale, OR
I believe we are deeply connected to each other and the natural world. And every now and then, we really need to realign ourselves with those connections and natural rhythms to fully receive the support, wisdom, and guidance of our intuition. This is what I try to create with my retreats - a time for reconnecting with your inner wisdom through nature and creativity. The atmosphere is playful, relaxed, and nurturing. Activities include art making (exploring a wide variety of mediums), rekindling your deep connection with the natural world, meditation/reflection, art journaling, and much more.
Your Instructor
Hi! I’m Jordan Kim and if you choose to take a Found & Rewound class, I will be your instructor. My mission is to create art and experiences that inspire us to honor our connections to each other and the natural world.
I have a BS in biology and two minors – one in chemistry and one in studio art. I also have a masters degree in Environmental Management. Needless to say, I love to learn. I worked as an ecologist for over 15 years while I built my art business on the side.
Art helps me reconnect to the rhythm of the natural world and stay grounded. I would love nothing more than to know that one of my classes or my art helped you feel more attuned to the abundance in your life too. My wish for you is a life filled with sweet simple moments, people you love and a connection to the natural world that supports us all. If guiding you through an experience where you get to reconnect to yourself and engage in some creativity can help make that wish come true – my work here is done.
You don't have to take my word for it...

"(The retreat) was an absolutely lovely experience. You thought of everything. Right down to the little detail. I felt very welcome, comfortable, cared for. So much more than an art retreat. A healing through art retreat. I could listen to you talk for days!!"
