Nice to meet you, we’re Pennie and Jackie

After attending a retreat together, we started daydreaming about how we’d do it differently.

We began as college suitemates, then housemates. After graduation and through our separate pursuits of post-grad education, careers, and relationships, we stayed in touch and, on occasion, traveled together. In our 50s, we began supporting each other's creative journeys through check-ins, resource sharing, and attending creative retreats.

We soon realized that creative sharing was our journey and seized the opportunity to develop and imagine our own creative programming. In 2023, we launched Inner Garden Creative Retreats and never looked back.

Inner Garden Creative Retreats is infused with the core values and beliefs that we’ve learned in our own individual and shared journeys. As facilitators, we bring the skills and practices of our crafts, but more importantly, we create a safe space for guests to tap into their own intuition and inner artist and to create from the heart. Holding high vibrational energy in this space, we encourage guests to bask in self-love, self-respect, and self-honor as they explore their own creative process.
