From October 2 to 5, seekers of soul nourishment and creative expression are invited to gather in the breathtaking High Sonoran Desert for Sacred Brush: A Journey Through Heart, Sound & Silence—a four-day immersive retreat at the serene Tubac Ranch.

Hosted by healing artist Uma Joy, expressive vocalist Niccole Blaze, and soulful facilitator Olivia Marie, this retreat offers an invitation to reconnect with your creative spirit through painting, music, meditation, movement and community. Set on the ancestral lands of the O’odham people, the retreat unfolds in reverence to the natural beauty and sacred energy of the desert.

No experience is necessary—just a willing heart. Participants will explore intuitive painting, gather in song and silence, and enjoy soulful rest beneath star-filled skies. Saturday night features a special concert with Niccole Blaze, celebrating the joy of community and creative freedom.

“There’s a kind of magic in the desert,” says Uma Joy. “It’s a place where we remember who we truly are—playful, powerful, connected and whole.”

Whether you’re seeking restoration, inspiration or simply time to breathe and be, this retreat offers space to remember, rejoice and return to the creative pulse within.
