Join us, The Sea Sisters, for our first ever *all-inclusive art retreat in peaceful Auburn, California, July 6-9, 2026. Find out more about our beautiful location,  The Mercy Center.
 
Escape the drama and responsibilities of your life while enjoying a relaxing and healing environment at the Mercy Center.
 
No worries, no art experience is needed to enjoy our many creative projects we have curated for you!
 
Our retreat projects and experiences are still in the planning process, but here's a sneak peak at some of our offerings:
Refashion a flannel shirt or denim jacket with slow stitching, stenciling, and collage work (no sewing or art experience needed).
Design a healing bracelet with natural stones and essential oils.
Make a boho tassel with salvaged fibers and clay beads that can be hung from a tote bag, piece of furniture or cabinet handle, car rearview mirror, etc.
Create and shrink a plastic charm to hang on your boho tassel or use later as a jewelry component (see butterfly charms).
Even more break-out mini craft sessions to include origami lanterns and "beach in a bottle", (featuring healing sound bath vibration music from Cindy).
Informative session demonstrating what we look for when thrifting for clothing and textiles.
