About This Retreat

When did creating stop being fun? Somewhere along the way, a lot of us learned that if we couldn't do something well, we shouldn't do it at all. So we stopped growing. Stopped dancing in the kitchen. Stopped creating for fun. Stopped trying things we might be bad at.

We got very good at getting it right. And very tired from constantly competing with ourselves.

Play is an invitation to set that down for a weekend. No scores, no audience, no finished product to judge. Just the paint on the brush, the joy in the room, and the moment you're actually in.

Play is for you if you:

Hold back from creating because it won't be "good enough"
Feel stuck, blocked or out of touch with your creative side
Spend more time planning and perfecting than enjoying
Can't remember the last time you did something just for the joy of it
Want to be in the moment instead of in your head

No art or performance experience needed. Truly. That's kind of the point.

Facilitators

Amber Alexander Solano

Amber Alexander Solano is the founder of The Resting Wolf, a women's wellness retreat company born from decades of work dedicated to advancing equity for women and marginalized people in the workplace. When the corporate Diversity, Equity & Inclusion landscape shifted in 2025, she redirected that same conviction toward a truth her advocacy work had already revealed: women are burning out at a systemic level, carrying invisible loads as caregivers, professionals, and community anchors — a burden that perimenopause and menopause only intensify. Now a GGS Certified Menopause Coach, Amber designs retreats grounded in the real texture of women's lives, helping them reconnect with their nervous system's baseline and leave with the education and tools to protect it long after they return home.

Danielle Duer

Danielle Duer is a fine artist and illustrator whose work explores the beautiful complexities of being human. Drawn to the relationship between identity, memory, experience and human behavior, she is interested in the stories we carry, the ways we learn to navigate the world, and the often-invisible forces that shape who we become. Her professional practice spans original artwork, illustration, and surface pattern design. Her work has led to creative licensing and product collaborations with brands including Anthropologie, Benartex and PaperProducts Design.

What to Expect

Through The Art of Imperfection, Nashville-based artist Danielle Duer explores the ways our experiences shape the expectations, identities and protective patterns we carry. Using creative experimentation and reflection, she invites participants to question their ideas of what is right, loosen their grip on control and perfection, and discover what becomes possible when we make room for uncertainty, curiosity, play and the unexpected.
Improv is built on one simple rule: there are no mistakes, only offers. In this playful, low-pressure workshop, you'll laugh, say yes, and practice trusting yourself in the moment. No stage, no audience, no performing. Just a room full of women giving each other permission to be silly, spontaneous and real.
Between sessions, you'll have time to walk the grounds, journal, and rest at at the beautiful Bask Retreat Center, share nourishing meals, and connect with a small circle of women who are seeking the same joyful presence you are.
