The Art of Mindfulness is a 3 day retreat in doing less to help you connect with what matters most. You are invited to practice crafts carefully paired with meditations in non-judgment, present-focus, and embracing imperfection. Together, we will maintain a space for fun, playfulness, and curiosity, balanced with dedicated time for personal reflection and  rejuvenation. Ultimately, you will design a craft that will become a visual reminder of the mindfulness intentions you plan to practice after the retreat. 

The Art of Mindfulness is an intentionally indulgent retreat for the senses. Enjoy the bounty and emergence of Spring in Wisconsin's Driftless region. Nourish yourself with farm to table cuisine and experience the deep rest that only nature can give you at Red Clover Ranch. Find community in a dedicated space for restoration and creative renewal.

Anna Lindberg Cedar, MPA, LICSW, LCSW is a licensed psychotherapist, a burnout prevention specialist, and a fellow humble practitioner in mindfulness and craft. Anna finds joy and balance by integrating mindfulness into her daily life, and craft happens to be a natural conduit for flow and creativity. Anna has a special passion for adapting therapy concepts into accessible self-care practices for everyday life. This retreat is Anna's creative extension of that practice, with hopes that you will join her.

Observe: This retreat is not group therapy. This retreat is not an art class. Instead, this retreat is a creative space for self-care in community. Together, we will practice crafting the vibe we want.

We look forward to having you!
