COMMUNITY, CONNECTION, CRAFT + CREATION 🙌🏾This is the essence of our @creativeescapetrips —learning and creating alongside our artisan partners, sharing stories, laughter and skills. We are down to our ✨FINAL SPOT✨ for our March 16-22 Trip and would love to welcome one final woman to this special experience and week long creative journey. Testimonials from Past Women who have joined us:🌀🌀🌀
🌞“This trip fueled connection from a past lifetime. Before cell phones existed, before we had a way to constantly distract ourselves, we spent time in community, time together, time being with one another. This trip was a voyage to a time that is long gone. We are all so much richer for having the opportunity to experience what deep connection and intention looks like and feels like. We saw it in the women and then, eventually, within our own little group of women. It was an experience of the collective and one that demanded great presence - this was such a gift. I’ll remember this trip as a defining moment in time, because you designed a world that spun just slow enough for me to be present in every moment. Thank you!” 🌞“The Minga Creative Escape was extremely nourishing for my mind, body and spirit. The blend of learning ancient crafts, creativity, movement and connection with other like minded souls was so special. I’ll forever treasure this sweet time in Ecuador, all of the giggles, realizations and new formed knowledge. Huge thank you to Minga, the artisans and Pachamama for holding space for us. “ WANT TO LEARN MORE or join us on a future trip? 🦋💙🌀 Check out the link in our bio for all the juicy details or to sign up for our interest list.

Today on Earth Day, we’re thinking about our artisan partners we in Ecuador and the land that makes their work possible.
The plant fiber they harvest, the plants used for dyes, the rhythms of their days - all begin with nature 🌀
For many of our artisan partners, caring for the earth isn’t a “should” — It’s daily life. It’s respect passed between generations. It’s knowledge carried in their hands. Their work inspires us and reminds us that making things slowly, thoughtfully, and in relationship with the land is one small way we can protect what protects us 🌍🌎🌏
We’re grateful to learn from them every day and for your support to make it possible. Happy Earth Day, everyday.
