About this Art Retreat:

Artists and Creatives are the original Wild Ones; they are seers, feelers, healers.  Intuitive sponges who tap into the pulse of epic sweeping truths, and pinpricks of reality not always overtly present. Artists are skilled guardians and guides to the worlds of emotion, self-awareness, cultural story-telling, and archetype-rendering soul archaelogy.  They are the shamans and priestesses of visual interpretation and collective consciousness made manifest.  They see it, feel it, and tell it like it is ... and they never, ever, ever stay inside the box

That's what this world needs bigtime:
Outside-the-box temples of sacred and supported self-archaelogy and conscious evolution.  This is  what the communal coming-together of Call of the Wild Soul is about.

Artists will change the world.  Why?  Because creative expression is a gateway to transformation on a personal level first; through the inward inquisitive gaze of creative exploration we learn who we really are.  By it's very nature as internal shifting, this creates a powerful rippling grid to a planetary and universal field of change, evolution, revolution, and life lived to it's fullest potential.  Therefore, artmaking from a conscious place is equal to creation at the highest level.  From this space of consciousness we then create more art as soul expressions, in a beautiful cycle of pure, unhindered, wild soul fulfillment.  This wildly creative soul is ready to change the world simply by knowing myself as sacred through my exploratory, empowering artmaking.  Are you ready to change the world?
                                                 

About Croydon Hall:
 
 

Croydon Hall is located just three miles from the North Somerset Coast on the edge of Exmoor National Park. The surrounding area boasts of some of the most magical scenery in England, from the wilderness of the moors to the coziness of traditional local fishing harbors. It is a nurturing and creative environment that is friendly, welcoming, relaxing and meditative. Built over a century ago by an eccentric German Count, the fully refurbished house has a colorful history. Certain areas of the garden date back to a much earlier time, when the land was owned by the monks of nearby Cleeve Abbey, now an enchanted ruin and National Trust site. The surrounding countryside offers beautiful walks and rambles.  With comfortable rooms, vegetarian meals, sauna, jacuzzi and swimming pool, options for holistic treatments, and a warm, professional staff you will surely feel at home.  You will also feel the potent power of the English countryside ~ it lies in wait for anyone who tunes in!



About Your Hostess:
erin faith allen
I am Erin Faith Allen, Wild Soul.  Teacher, photographer, writer, and mixed media artist who experiences the world on a supernatural level.  I believe whole-heart-and-soul-ed-ly that by choosing to know who we really are we can change the world. With an unbridled passion for self-awareness and artmaking, my vision to create a circle of powerful shifting and conscious art-making has manifested as this gathering with magnificent teachers ~ and the good company of our co-creators of life and art, the effervescently deep Wild Souls who will be joining us.  When I'm not giving readings or coaching sessions, teaching, making art or manifesting mega visions, I'm probably drinking a green smoothie, exploring the planet, or exploring My Self.  Currently, I am creating a mixed media retrospective; my life thus far as a wild, wild soul. I am excited to be teaching three different mixed media workshops at Teesha Moore's Artfest, and in New York in June of 2012.  www.erinfaithallen.com or www.erinfaithallen.blogspot.com
