There was a period in my life when I felt completely disconnected from my creativity.

On paper, things were fine. I had a good job, people I loved, a life that looked okay, but underneath, I felt stuck in Groundhog Day.

Then I found The Artist’s Way and Julia Cameron’s idea of the Shadow Artist... Someone who wants a creative life but has handed that power over to something outside themselves.

That was me.

I’d wanted to be a photographer since I was a kid. I got close but bottled it, and instead became a photo/film producer… literally standing in the shadow of the thing I wanted most.

Everything changed when I finally took one small step toward the life I actually wanted.

And sometimes, one step is all it takes to change direction.

That’s a big part of why I created Desert Mountain Creative Retreat — Unplug · Reset · Create 🏜️

4 days / 3 nights in the California High Desert to rest, reconnect, create, and make space for what comes next.

We’ll do yoga, Reiki, hiking, nourishing meals, creative exercises, journaling, dream boards, and plenty of quiet time to work on a project — or simply do nothing at all.

You might arrive with a manuscript, sketchbook, business idea, or life question.

You might arrive with no idea what comes next.

Both are welcome.

And because it falls over Halloween, we’ll carve pumpkins 🎃 and do a special release ritual too.

And if one woman came to mind while you were reading this, send it to her. Good karma absolutely counts. ❤️

⚡ You know something is calling you... a project, a change, an idea, a version of your life.

But you’ve lost the space to hear it.

Desert Mountain Creative Retreat — Unplug · Reset · Create

October 29 – November 1 : Come spend Halloween with us in the desert 🎃👻🎃

We’re hosting an intimate 4-day / 3-night creative and wellbeing retreat for women at The Juniper House in the California high desert, just 2.5 hours from LA.

It’s for anyone feeling stuck, creatively disconnected, or simply ready to make space for what comes next.

Across four slow days, we’ll move between gentle morning yoga, guided creative exercises, nature walks (including a trip to Idyllwild), nourishing chef-prepared meals, sauna time, and long stretches of protected space to write, think, make, rest — or simply do absolutely nothing.

Bring the thing that’s been quietly asking for your attention... or arrive with no project at all.

This is not the kind of retreat where you'll go home empty-handed. We've intentionally designed this retreat to continue after you leave... We’ll actively build a simple, creative toolkit you can take home with you.

@karinalucianocoaching will nourish us with beautiful seasonal meals throughout the retreat, while @adelethomas_photo guides our: Unplug · Reset · Create process: Where am I? → What’s calling me? → What’s blocking me? → What happens next?

Accommodation, meals and drinks, yoga, creative sessions and retreat activities are all included.

We’re keeping this first retreat intentionally intimate, with only 5–10 spaces, including private rooms, shared-room options and two 🚐 campervan spots, so you can choose the stay that suits you best.

🦋 We’re also offering special community rates for the next 10 days.

DM us or email to info@desertmountainretreats.com and we’ll arrange everything with you.

Having traveled recently to cook privately as well as learn more about holistic health and wellbeing these past 4 months in Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica. I feel renewed and refreshed to offer my expertise with holistic health in collaboration at retreats with other healers and for clients on 1 on 1 coaching sessions.
Thank you @ryan_corr for capturing me in my essence 🍇 🏝️ 🧘‍♀️ by @karinalucianocoaching

These are my favorite lines from the book “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert, also the author of “Eat, Pray, Love”. I found them very fitting for this upcoming retreat.

I’m so excited for our upcoming retreat at this gorgeous location in the desert. I’ve gone from the mystical jungle in Costa Rica to the mystical desert in California. This retreat is all about creative living, it’s about having the space to bring forth the treasures that lie buried inside each one of us.
🏔️
I feel humbled to be the chef for this retreat with the talented @adelethomas_photo who has been courageously bringing forth her hidden creative jewels. 💎

We all have creative hidden within us. This book I’ve been reading by Elizabeth Gilbert is so fitting for this upcoming retreat “creative living beyond fear”

Since sharing is caring
🌱
I am going to reveal to you a hidden gem 💎
🌱
If you are in Nosara, you have to try @maria_garre_ @casavedacr incredible Ayurvedic treatments.
🌱
There are so many biohacks out there and quick fixes, but nothing beats the ancient wisdom of an Ancient practice like Ayurveda.
🌱
@maria_garre_ & @casavedacr is the real deal. She is incredibly knowledgeable in this ancient healing modality. She has a healing touch. She has been immersed in this wisdom for over 25 years, she takes yearly trips to India. You step into her place and you feel the energy.
🌱
I have been working out lately in the gym, and I was contemplating doing some blood work to know more about where my health is at.
🌱
But then I felt more inclined to instead do an Ayurvedic consult. Because in Ayurveda they go deep, it’s about being able to see how a person individually operates in the world, what their constitution is. How their nervous system is. Not one way fits all.
🌱
We even joked “you might love avocado 🥑, but avocado may not love you. Everything has its own individual energy component.
🌱
Receiving this treatment with the healing Mantras, I feel Spiritually, mentally, physically rejuvenated.
🌱
I have a basic understanding of Ayurveda, but to receive from someone who has a wealth of wisdom in it, was a real treat!

When I was 18 and had my first office job, I remember looking around people at the office and observing their mindset which repeated each week. This may sound familiar. People would always complain it was Monday and always celebrated when it was Friday. I remember finding it so strange that people would count the days of the week like that. And right at that point I made a wish. The wish was that I wanted to one day be able to look back at my life and feel rich in experiences lived and not in things accumulated. Don’t get me wrong I love nice things but not at the expense of my soul. From that day onwards I embarked on a journey of self discovery and soul purpose. Today I help guide others towards connection with their soul through healing foods, detox, Reiki, nature, somatic movement to help them re-connect with themselves and live a life more aligned with their Soul. It’s been a journey, and not always smooth sailing. But what an adventure it has been 🧗🏻‍♀️

It’s fun to create reels and it’s a learning curve. We all have people we admire who create on social media, but it’s nice to be the creator and not the consumer all the time. Do it even if it’s not perfect, practice makes perfection. Leaving here something I had recorded a while ago but only now had the chance to put it together and share! This healthy snicker is worth making! by @karinalucianocoaching

Looking for a sugar alternative, try one of these two options: stevia or monk fruit extract.
🌿
Stevia is a green leaf plant, so if you are buying it in its natural state it should look green not white.
🌿
The white is a processed version, I’m not sure what process it undergoes to go from green to white, probably some type of bleach 🤷‍♀️
🌿
If you can find these you can add it to your favorite beverage or baking. by @karinalucianocoaching

I fell off my electric bike I don’t know how. I wasn’t doing anything crazy.
🫤
My knees are still healing from the fall. I wanted to share a little about how I have been tending to it with mostly natural products and lots of rest. I met Jason right when I had the accident. I was lucky to encounter him as he is a naturopath doctor.
🌿
Jason has a podcast https://inspirehealthpodcast.com if you would like to learn more about natural remedies.

Here are some of the things I have been applying to my wound:
- washing it with epsom salt
- applying raw honey with activated charcoal and a drop of oregano oil
- aloe Vera
- dragon’s blood @sacredfarmapothecary
- sweet almond oil at night so it moisturizes and stops it itching.
- lots of rest
- Of course I’ve also been doing Reiki on it to help heal faster. by @karinalucianocoaching

In Ayurveda, which is an Ancient tradicional Medicine from India, this is what they say about coffee:
☕️
Ayurveda views coffee as a potent, heating, and drying stimulant that sparks the mind into a rajasic (overactive) state.
☕️
While traditional texts lean toward avoiding it to preserve inner calm, modern Ayurvedic practice allows for mindful, moderate consumption if tailored to your body type and habits.
☕️
If you have a lot of vata dosha, which is connected to the element of air and you have a restless mind and a sensitive nervous system, you are better off avoiding coffee and finding an alternative.
☕️
I’m sharing with you, my 2 favorite morning beverage alternatives 🍵
