What is Intentional Creativity?
Through a beautifully guided process, you will be able to celebrate that which you already know about yourself, but will also be able to delve in to the sanctuary of your soul to discover the hidden treasures that live within your subconscious.
"You literally create around your intention. Making art in this way is not about being talented, gifted or artistic. It’s not predicated on identifying as an artist or even feeling creative. It is about getting to your soul essence through creativity, which is innate in all of us. With this method you create a quiet stillness to hear inner messages and give them form—in words and paint—in a relaxed and nurturing environment. You then have the opportunity to apply the insights and inner wisdom to your life and live in a way that is, in a word, more 'you'."

Sound Healing
You will also get to experience the amazing process of a Tibetan Sound Bowl Session led by Sound Healers Laurie White and Patti Downing. This ancient form of meditation, relaxation and self-healing has been practiced since the 6th Century BC, and has proven to bring balance to all aspects of your life. The vibration and the tones of these powerful bowls are akin to a deep cellular massage that assists in reviving your overall well-being. Participants of the retreat will enjoy group sessions as part of the meditation process during the Intentional Creativity classes.

About Madhavi Devi
Creative muse, Visual artist, Electronic musician, Harpist, and Meditative sound painter Madhavi Devi (Cheryl Gallagher) has specialized training in creative arts education using the Intentional Creativity Methods, established by maestra Shiloh Sophia, offering transformational painting experiences using intuitive methods for revelatory self-discovery, personal development, release of limiting beliefs and healing.
​
She also produces and performs music and art with intention towards supernal inner growth and development, composing inspiring sound-spaces and artworks reflective of mystical vibrations and light from the center of being. Her critically acclaimed releases feature rich textures and nuanced melodic structures that are evocatively moving and intimate, and yet celestial in scope. Nature sounds, various acoustic percussive elements, and subtly crafted electronic sub-components all add eloquence to her sonic palette and choreography. With several releases over the last couple decades, Madhavi Devi continues to explore her innate sensitivities towards musical conversation, evolving sound as a vital connection to personal discovery.

About Spirit Wind Ridge
As women, we harness undeniable energy and power.
Using our ability to empower each other, we can elevate the harmony of our world by renewing joy within ourselves and those around us. By providing more opportunities and knowledge to help each other find our true authentic selves, we can plant the seeds for inner peace in a world surrounded by chaos and indifference. Now is a time of awakening and we are here to work together to facilitate this inner magic amongst ourselves and others.
Spirit Wind Ridge is a magical 20 acre farm nestled on a beautiful ridge in Saint Helens, Oregon, started by Laurie White and Patti Downing. Our dream for over 20 years has been to provide a place of retreat for women to unwind from the chaos of busy lives, open their hearts and reconnect with their souls. In addition to holding women's retreats, we practice sound healing using Tibetan sound bowls, gong and other sound instruments and techniques.
