When was the last time you put your to-do list aside? Let go of all expectation? Just let yourself explore? Put yourself first?
The Yellow Brick Road Studio’s camp “Joy of the Journey” is a 5-day camp for women who are ready to dedicate some real time to relax, restore and renew. As women, we work and handle, juggle and manage…and we rock at it, don’t we? Now it is time to add in some true self-care.
At YBR, we believe that all of us have buried gifts inside. Like the characters in The Wizard of Oz, we think we need outside sources to validate us. We tend to let it happen while we are busy taking care of everyone else. Let’s slow down enough to recognize inspiration, reconnect with our inner creative energy and enjoy the journey.
The purposes of “Joy of the Journey:”
Each day's experience is expertly designed to touch on each purpose listed above, but in a variety of ways so that every day is unique. Expect fun surprises along the way too!
“Joy of the Journey” is the perfect opportunity for someone wanting to tap back into her creativity, awaken her dormant self, get messy and make connections. Give yourself the gift of time and space to connect with your inner visions and express them in a supportive small-group environment.
Activities you will do every day:
Other Wonderful Goings-on throughout the Week:
Once your REGISTRATION FORM (CLICK HERE) is complete you will receive a personalized, handwritten, artful note from me! Snail mail—woot! One week prior to the camp, you will receive a welcome packet with all the information you will need to make your week as fabulous as possible.
Join us for an inspirational learning adventure that will feed your heart and soul.

- Spots secured by registration. 8 seats available. At least three are needed to run the camp. If you pay and the camp does not run, you will receive a full refund.
- Camp refunds are given (minus $25 cancellation fee) if the refund request is made at least one week prior to the first day of the camp. Refunds are not given for workshops if the student does not attend. It is not the responsibility of the company to accommodate individual student schedules.
- A $25 late fee will be added to any camp registration received after the first meeting. (Late registrations are only allowed for classes that do not have full enrollment.) Should a student miss a class due to personal conflicts, sickness or prior engagement the instructors are not required to offer make-up lessons to that student. Neither the company nor our instructors are responsible for a student’s personal schedule and how that may affect the student’s class attendance.
