Back to Back 2016
The Original & No Rules
* Note: June 16th Single Rooms SOLD OUT. Sorry! *
This is a fantastic opportunity to put yourself first. To escape from the everyday and take your art to new places. The combination of a perfect environment and world renowned artists who will inspire you to greater creativity.
Last year’s Retreat was was so much fun and so inspiring that we decided to do it again in February 2016.
It was life altering.
Don’t Miss Out!! Last year this retreat sold out in just 9 days.
And to make sure there is something for everyone including those who missed out last year, we are doing 2 retreats on Back to Back Weekends. The first retreat is a repeat of the original, the second is a brand new concept Back to Back No Rules.
Back to Back “The Original” is the first retreat designed to appeal to everyone. You spend a day with both instructors together where you learn the basics and then a full day with each individually where you learn the ins and outs of their Art Journaling process and the secrets that make their styles so distinct and exceptional.
Back to Back “No Rules” was designed based on feedback from last year’s alumni. They told us where they wanted to take their art journaling next and Dina and Dyan have designed this retreat to get them there. This retreat is not for beginners, it’s designed to take you beyond your current limits.

I am brand new to art journaling. But, in a few short days I am HOOKED! I have both of Dina’s books. Is there still room in the first retreat? I am local to the area. Am I able to join the Facebook group prior to putting in a deposit?
Hi Kim, I will put you in the group tomorrow 🙂 Michelle
I am so happy that I changed my mind so am attending both weekends in 2016. I had a fabulous time in 2015 & so couldn’t miss the fun & creativity. Dina Dyan & Michelle are my creative iinspirations. I hope “my cat” will still be there. Seeing art sisters from last year & meeting new sister is one of the highlights of the weekend. One can never have too many art sisters.
Michelle, will you invite Leslie and me?? Is there still room?
Hi Karen, you and Leslie are welcome to sign up for the retreat. Just give us a call.
Is there anyone from Canada coming? I’m insterested! Is there an itinerary – I would need for flights. Is there still space?
Hi Naomi, I sent you an email. Hope we see you at the retreat 🙂
Thanks Michelle. I’ve emailed you back, and cannot book until I hear from you about my flights. Please respond as soon as you can, as there are very few flight options left at this point, and I don’t want to miss out! Thanks!
