Come shape more than clay—shape your chosen animal, your story, your instinct, your true self. 

This four-day retreat welcomes all paths and backgrounds. No prior experience is needed—every level will receive hands-on guidance and encouragement to create their totem pieces.

Through animal-inspired sculpture, we’ll explore the wisdom that lives within each of us. In the beautiful natural surroundings of Cambria—our community by the sea—you’ll tap into the healing power of art, master hands-on sculpting techniques, and create meaningful works with ease.

Arrive with anticipation for a rejuvenating experience. Guided by your longing to create and your readiness to listen to the native truth inside, you’ll discover your creative flow and leave uplifted, confident, and filled with joy.

All clay, glazes, and tools are included.

Your artistic adventure awaits!
