This Pie Day we are gathering a small circle of women in my private home in Mission Viejo , California to make with our hands, share a yummy meal and reconnect with our creativity that often gets buries under daily life.
You’ll make your own ceramic pie dish on the pottery wheel, enjoy a beautiful lunch with sweet and savory pies, and spend time creating alongside women who love to make, craft, create and dream. This is not a class, it is a creative reset.
When: March 14, 2026
Time: 10:30am-2:30pm
What’s included:
guided wheel session
glazing and firing of your pie dish (glazed, fired and ready for pickup after retreat)
lunch + pie tasting
time to work on your own projects
mini creative workshop
curated goodie bag
We will have 3 group rotations so everyone gets guided time on the wheel.
Rotations:
pottery wheel station
mini creative session
creative project space to work on your own personal projects.
This retreat is limited to 10 spots (so it stays intimate, supportive and hands on)
Location: Mission Viejo, California (address will be emailed after purchase)

Who this is for
women who:
feel most like themselves when they are making
miss having time for creativity
want community beyond small talk
love pottery, craft, sewing, painting, knitting or art of any kind
want a few hours that feel restorative instead of draining
Especially beautiful for mothers who rarely get uninterrupted creative time.
Why this is special
Spark & Bloom gatherings are about more than learning a skill. They’re about:
remembering who you are outside of responsibilities
creating alongside women who understand that part of you
making creativity a part of your life again-not just something you “get to someday”
This is the beginning of a series of seasonal retreats, and you’ll be a part of the very first one.
