JOIN THE ADVENTURE

Remember the feeling of summer camp? The joy, the freedom, the messy, magical YOU?

This isn’t your childhood camp—it’s better.

It’s a return to enchantment. A reconnection to nature. A creative rebellion against the noise of daily life.

Over four playful weeks, you’ll enter the spiral of the summer season, explore your relationship with animal guides, and make art that speaks from the bones of your being. You’ll howl, paint, collage, and conjure meaning alongside a circle of humans who are just as wild-hearted as you.

Let this be your wild creative summer.

What you will experience at Wild Creative Enchantment Camp:
9 hours of creative play, painting, journaling and connecting around a virtual campfire!

What does Wild Creative Enchantment mean? It means reconnecting to that joyful inner feeling of delight and wonder, finding pleasure in the every day moments of our lies. 

This summer camp is about exploring how our personal connection to nature and especially to animals around us and guides within us can help us tap into pleasure, to awe and to the magic of the world around us - just like we did so naturally as kids whether in our backyards, on a family adventure or going to sleep away camps.

What we will do:

  • Camp Session 1: Welcome to our opening circle and your camp orientation session: Let's get painty!

  • Camp Session 2: Meeting the animal guides and messengers through art, writing and oracle cards plus how to easily "draw" your animals on the wood

  • Camp Session 3: Learning to paint your animal guides - first layers

  • Camp Session 4: Meeting more animals through guided visualization and more painting!

  • Camp Session 5: Putting the finishing touches on your paintings and closing our camp circle with a celebration

First 25 people (US-only) to register get a partial supply kit:
This will include the wood arches we will be painting and a few other goodies. It will not include paint. You can preview the suggested supply list here.

Below are samples of student work from Minette's recent live in person retreat. This is the project we'll do together in your Summer Camp.

This Camp is for You If…

  • You’re in midlife or beyond and longing to play again—with purpose and presence.
  • You feel a connection to animals, symbols, or the sacred in nature.
  • You want to reclaim your creativity without rules or pressure.
  • You’re ready to express yourself more fully—and wildly.
  • You want a gentle container to explore your inner landscape with others who understand.

And if you are thinking to yourself, "I can't paint like that!" That's what many of my students said, too. Did you see what they created? Magical!!
No prior art experience needed—just a curious heart and an open mind.

By the End of Camp, You Will Have...

  • A deeper connection to animal allies and nature’s wisdom

  • A creative practice rooted in curiosity, not perfection

  • Soulful mixed media art that reflects your inner landscape

  • A renewed sense of wonder, clarity, and spiritual connection

  • A beautiful hand-decorated Camp Journal

  • 3 gorgeous animal paintings you will be so proud to display in your studio

What Past Adventurers Are Saying...

Wild Creative Enchantment was a powerful spiral—deepening into myself through the animals. The variety of creative approaches brought surprising Aha moments, and Minette held the space with such loving clarity. I felt safe to speak hard truths without being judged or fixed. In the end, I came away with more than art—I came away transformed.

Karen Joy Fritz

This retreat was truly magical. Through art, journaling, and connection with our animal guides, I rediscovered parts of myself I had forgotten. There was laughter, tears, and deep healing. I came home with not only a renewed creative spark, but a supportive sisterhood and a stronger sense of who I am.

Torey Oberle

Just got home from a FABULOUS Art Retreat facilitated by Minette Riordan. Loved it!!! I feel so much more confident as an artist now. We all had so much fun, powerful moments connecting to our Animal Spirits and each other.

She’s still there—that wild one. The girl who climbed trees, made magic with mud, talked to animals, buried herself in fairy tales and trusted her imagination.

Come back to her.

The fire’s already lit and the animals are gathering...
