What’s On at The Haven
Discover the transformative power of creativity in this sacred, creative space.
Sit down across from Susie
Be seen, held and witnessed in a judgment-free zone. Give yourself permission to make it all about you. Private, in person sessions shape themselves entirely around whatever you walk in carrying — no agenda but yours.
Book a free discovery callGo deep, together
Some things are better explored together. Couples coaching invites two people into a shared creative space — to listen more deeply, express what words alone can’t carry, and rediscover each other. Life partners, dear friends, or creative collaborators — come as you are, leave more connected.

Stay a whole day (or five!)
Experience the sweet and sacred quiet of an in-person creativity retreat. Relax into the spaciousness of hours of meditative art-making, writing, connection, and witnessing. Luxuriate in the deep dive into your own self-reflective process. This is not an art retreat. This is not about making beautiful things — it’s about uncovering true ones. Nourish your body, mind and spirit — abundant art supplies and delicious treats provided.
