Possibilities for you in a 1-on-1 Private Retreat with Uma Joy
Your retreat will be designed specifically for you as we discuss your needs and wants. How exciting is THAT?
Vision
Take the time to dream and vision. Is there a project you want to launch, or do you just want to take a step back and SLOW DOWN!
Red Thread Circle
Even though it will be “just” you and me (Uma Joy), we will connect in circle, with discussions, explorations, with gentle guidance and some teachings.
Recharge
Fill your cup, join in morning café if you choose – and nurture you in your way throughout the day.
Nourish
Honor your body as well as your creative Muse. Nourishing meals provided so you don’t have to think about it. Gentle movement offered to allow your body to feel free and to keep energy moving.
Honor the land
With 1.5 acres of land, there are places through out and nearby, to connect with Mother Earth and the energies of this magical place. There are beautiful walks and hikes in the area you can take alone or with Uma Joy.
Enjoy the Serenity in “Mama’s Garden,” a space designed to honor my mama, Beverly Scoles. You can sit, read, write, just be… and enjoy the peace.
As each retreat will be customed designed this section will differ for everyone, however, this is an idea of what you might expereince.
Perhaps we rise in the morning, and sit in “Mama’s Garden” with a cuppa and journal, and talk about the day and areas that are arising wanting to be discussed.
Maybe some light movement - yoga, tai chi…
Maybe a light breakfast (or full breakfast — your preference).
Perhaps we then meet in the studio for creative guidance, mind-body-spirit teachings, body work, painting, smashbooking, or whatever is arising for the morning session.
We’ll break for lunch and you can have the afternoon to yourself, nap, a walk, creating…
Maybe we meet up again around 4 or 5, check-in, discussion…
Dinner and connection or time to your self.
You have 24/7 access to the casita and studio. You can take breaks as you wish, meals and snacks as you wish, walks on the property, or in the surrounding areas of nature as you choose.
We will discuss options of a custom made Ayurvedic meal, and/or a personalized 1-on-1 Yoga class with a local yoga practitioner.
Maybe you will want a day going to Ojo Caliente - an amazing 7+ mineral pool spa, for soaking, healing and relaxing. Or maybe you are called to do a gallery walk in Taos (Taos’s motto is “Taos is Art”)
So many possibilities!
What is the BIG WHY?
Musing with dear friends helps me become clear again on WHY I do what I do, WHY I offer what I offer, WHY I am wanting to have women here for Artist-in-Residence, 1-on-1 retreats, and so much more.
There is much of this I have been thinking about for a long time. When I first started thinking offering the Residency program it brought forward that I want women to have the chance to recharge, to have time to take a breath and understand what is important to them. As the Artist-in-Residence program was coming forward, I realized (and heard from a number of you) that I wanted and needed to provide a 1-on-1 retreat offering. I want to hold the space for you to explore YOU when you are ready to do so, whether it is in a small group or a 1-on-1 situation.
So often we get caught up doing all the things we think we are “supposed to” do that we don’t take the time to do what feeds our soul – or even know what that would be if we had the time.
As women come to this land and share this space, I feel “lit-up” just thinking about the possibilities; the possibilities for them and the community they’ll return to; the possibilities of the creations happening here – woman exploring, sharing, and expanding and connecting with themselves. I know transformation happens, awakening happens, and turning on to life happens!
One of the greatest things being called for, in this world we call home, is an increase in love, joy, connection, community, kindness, and healing. When we create, when we take time for ourselves, when we take time to S—L—O—W D—O—W—N we have the opportunity to discover the Truths of who we are, what we want, and how we CHOOSE to live our lives. That’s when these interactions of love, joy, kindness, connection… are able to come forward.
This is what the Artist-in-Residence and the 1-on-1 Retreat programs means to me. I KNOW that having this time for you can be amazingly life-changing.

Initial Vision
Ever since spirit directed us to this land we call home, and my dear son (and other loved ones) dedicated the time to help build a studio for me, I’ve wanted to share this space and experience with you. As a part of MUSEA (my Intentional Creativity® art community founded by Shiloh Sophia with our home base "Mothership" in Sonoma, California) I have affectionately called this studio “MUSEA Taos” – aka “Uma Joy Healing Art.”
Since the completion of the studio in July 2023, we have held retreats, workshops, coaching sessions, and one-on-one Table to Canvas sessions (personalized coaching and therapy incorporating Chiropractic, CranioSacral Therapy and painting to access healing in a different way).
I have created my own art, painted with my granddaughters, shared potlucks, and so much more in this beautiful space facing the powerful and spiritual energy of Taos Mountain.
You are invited to come for a time to develop your art and vision here at MUSEA Taos on the land we call “Tierra Luminosa.”
We offer a minimum week-long Artist Residency at MUSEA Taos, with the option of a two week stay. Additionally, for those wanting a deeper supported dive, we know offer a 1-0n-1 retreat for 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days and 5 days. A vacation for You – and a vacation for your Muse.
