Branching Out

Branching Out is an optional kick-off class during the 2025 Seaside Retreat for Women. In order to attend, you MUST be registered for the seaside retreat. This two(ish)-hour kickoff session on Thursday evening is run by Jenn Pipe of Self Esteem Through Art and it’s designed to be a perfect way to ground yourself, get some extra time with the retreat attendees, exercise your creative muscles, and ease into the retreat weekend.

During this class, we will explore, harness, and do a dive deep into the magic of TREES. In nature, trees act not as individuals, but as a deeply interconnected collective. Trees are among some of our most generous benefactors—giving far more to other living species than they ever ask for in return. We can learn a lot from trees! As we create our very own beaded wire tree, we’ll be contemplating the importance and benevolence of trees. *You’ll even be given the opportunity to “pot” your tree in a whimsical, moss-lined vessel.

All instruction and materials will be provided. If you know Jenn, you know that she is a deep thinker and is as much a storyteller as she is an artist—she seamlessly and beautifully weaves in all things thought-provoking, empowering, and educational into her classes. This class will be a sweet encapsulation of all that goodness! What a perfect way to kick off the weekend.

All art materials, instruction, (and light refreshments) are provided. Each attendee will go home with a tree that is as unique as the trees in nature! Can’t wait to circle up and harness this magic with you!
