You may be here because you miss your creative self.
Maybe you used to write, paint, dance, make things, dream bigger, or feel inspired — and somewhere along the way, that part of you became quiet.
Our creative outlet experiences can help you gently reopen that door.
This is not about pressure, performance, or producing something impressive. It is about remembering that creativity is still available to you.
OWR partners with local artists, creative coaches, makers, guides, and wellness practitioners to create customized creative experiences for our guests.
All classes are subject to availability.

“ I believe creativity is a birthright”
“Creativity is an integral part of my life’s philosophy. Each time I ventured into a specific artistic medium, I found myself building bridges from one discipline to another: painting with sculpting. Sculptures with poems; poetry with play writing; art with psychology; teaching with learning.
The philosophy has not changed, though the materials have. Assemblagé sculpture joins found objects that have lost their way; wood with rusted metal; wire with glass; common objects and delicate feathers mixed with re-bar. Two themes run in the current work, the “La Femme” the women series, “La Musique” the music. I enjoy shifting and combining the utilitarian with the artistic.”

"Mirrors, Masks, Memories And Music"
The Art of Method Writing encourages you to access your deep, vulnerable, and authentic inner voice. This is a creative process for anyone, whether you consider yourself a writer or not. The course uses poetry, prose, and structured exercises as a jazz portal to the underwater caverns of your gut, to uncover truths that writers are often afraid to put in words. During the first couple of hours of the workshop, you will process your deepest, most vulnerable voice. You’ll be guided to transform your work into something new and unexpected. You’ll explore questions that tap into the story of your life and the truth of who you are.
After this deep exploration, you’ll be led toward voices and muses and unexplored places inside yourself through mirrors, masks, and music. Through the process of deep exploration, you will find yourself digging into your life and using every possible way to get there.
If you are ready to learn how to write from the body, not from the head, I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery.
