AT MY ART STUDIO IN CORNWALL
5 Days of Soulful Expression. A lifetime of Creative Freedom.
liberate your creative spirit
express your soul art
Be one of 8 people on Retreat at my Cornwall studio to reconnect with your inner Muse, awaken your intuition, and create art that’s uniquely yours
5 Days / 6 Nights of Creative Liberation
** Saturday 30th May - Friday 5th June 2026 **NEW Dates!
Location: West Cornwall, Near Land’s End, UK
What if the next chapter of your life didn’t begin with a plan — but with a brushstroke, a breath, and a sacred pause?
Creative Spirit,
You’re ready to reconnect with your creative essence—to go deeper into your intuition and express your soul through playful intuitive abstract painting in joyful colour.
Not with technique, but by aligning with your inner resources - wisdom, intuition and the well-spring of Divine Creative flow -- the very life force that animates you as a Human Being.
This is your invitation to do just that, inside a boutique, in-person retreat designed for full creative liberation.
Artist, channel and creativity mentor Trudie Tara Moulton shares why she created Creative Spirit, and what’s in store for those wishing to join her in joyfully liberating - and embodying - your Creative Muse.
Who is this retreat for?
Artists wishing to re-energise their art practice, and ready for deeper embodiment
Soulful professionals craving reconnection and inspiration, ready to reignite the flame of your creative expression
Creatives navigating transition in your career, your life, or spiritual path
This is for you if…
You feel the quiet nudge (or loud call) from Spirit to reconnect with your creative side—not just to make art, but to express something deeply real.
Whether you’re an artist seeking a deeper relationship with your inner Muse, or a creative soul ready to rediscover your joy in a non-judgemental and supportive environment—you’re in the right place.
What Awaits You Inside Creative Spirit
This is a sacred calling to connect with the Muse: She who brings inspiration, energy, passion and creativity.
☑ A Sacred Space for Creative Exploration
Surrounded by the ancient stone energy of Cornwall and just minutes from the sea, you’ll stay in luxury cottages and paint in a professional studio designed for flow and freedom.
☑ Somatic Practices to Open the Creative Channel
Begin each day with gentle movement, breathwork, and meditation to ground into your body and clear your energetic field. These practices help you tune in deeply—so your art flows from a place of truth.
☑ Soul-Led Painting That’s Uniquely Yours
Using intuitive abstract methods, you’ll learn to release expectations and follow the whispers of your Muse—freeing yourself from imitation and creating from within.
☑ The Artist’s Journey as Your Guide
Trudie will lead you through the principles of The Artist’s Journey—so you always know where you are in the creative process and how to move through resistance with grace.
☑ Divine Healing to Clear Creative Blocks
Experience a group Divine Healing session to dissolve inner limitations—so you can paint (and live) from a place of freedom and possibility.
“It’s like you can see my potential before I can. It’s so creative and fun!”
“I think for artists, this combination of working from your Creative Muse, or your Soul or your Spirit or your intuition, is such an essential part of making art — and making art YOUR way.”
—Alice Sheridan, Artist, Founder of Connected Artist Club & Art Juice Podcast
what you’ll walk away with
This is more than a retreat. It’s a Creative Rebirth.
Your guide and mentor: Trudie Tara Moulton is a professional abstract artist based in Cornwall, UK
Here’s what you’ll take home:
* A deepened connection to your Creative Muse. Learn to trust your inner voice and create from the truth within you—no rules, no judgment.
* A confident, embodied creative practice. Walk away with renewed clarity, trust, alignment and a process you can continue at home.
*Original artwork that reflects your soul. Art that isn’t taught—but revealed. Raw, alive, and unapologetically yours.
* Clarity around your creative blocks—and the tools to release them. Clear doubt and limiting beliefs that sabotage your progress.
* Somatic tools to stay in flow. Movement, breathwork, and meditation to keep your channel clear and energy open.
* A roadmap through the creative process. The Artist’s Journey helps you recognize resistance, move past fear, and keep creating—even after you leave.
* A soulful sisterhood of creatives. Find community with women walking the same path, sharing inspiration, support, and joy.
You’ll leave with more than artwork.
You’ll leave with freedom. Confidence. Joy. And a renewed sense of who you truly are.
your creative space: Light, spacious & inspiring
“I feel rejuvenated around my art practice.”
picture this…
Your hands covered in paint as you move freely through colour and texture
Feeling the frequency of orange (or pink or coral) as it pulses with joy… green dancing beside it in unexpected harmony
Deepening your trust in your own intuitive impulses—knowing exactly what to do next
Laughing, playing, flowing in a space that honours your feminine creative power
Stargazing from your hot tub, breathing in the silence of this special land without light pollution, nourished by delicious colourful organic food from the land
Walking the Cornish coast with the wind at your back and your creative spirit wide open
Feeling lit up and inspired by the possibilities that await you, called forward to create your SOUL art - your unique expression in the world.

meet your host:
Trudie Tara Moulton
Artist. Healer. Former Silicon Valley exec.
I wasn’t always an artist. I started my career in the high-stakes world of London finance and Silicon Valley tech. My days were full—and yet, something essential was missing. I tried to fill the void with designer clothes, parties, and a life that looked good on the outside. But inside, I felt disconnected. Unexpressed.
I didn’t have an art degree. But I had a deep longing to create—and a knowing that the art I was looking for didn’t exist. Because I hadn’t painted it —yet.
With an artist mother, a palette inspired by California’s light and space, and a wooden studio shed in Topanga Canyon, I began painting what I couldn’t find anywhere else: colour-drenched joy. Emotional honesty. Liberation on canvas.
Through years of exploration, I discovered that your creative voice doesn’t come from technique—it comes from within. It’s already in you, waiting for permission to rise.
Today, my work hangs in private collections and corporate spaces, has graced magazine covers, and continues to evolve as I do. But the real masterpiece? It’s the inner transformation that results from making art —an Artist’s Journey that surprises and delights the women I work with.

I created Creative Spirit because I believe every woman has a wellspring of creativity within her.
She just needs the right space, support, and practices to remember who she truly is—and create from that place.
I’ll be your guide, your witness, and your creative midwife. This retreat is your space to come home to yourself.
That’s what Creative Spirit is:
a sacred space where you awaken your inner artist, heal what’s in the way, and create art that reflects your soul.

You don’t Need to Learn More. You Need to Remember What’s Already Inside.
I took the courses. I practiced the techniques. I learned the brushwork, the theory, the formulas.
But no matter how many skills I gained, I still found myself making art that looked like someone else’s. It never felt like mine.
What no one told me was this:
Your true creative voice isn’t found in a textbook. It’s found inside you.
No one taught me how to clear the inner noise. How to make space for the quiet whisper of the Muse. How to release the patterns that keep us imitating instead of creating.
But that’s exactly what we do in Creative Spirit.
Through movement, meditation, and Divine Healing, we turn inward—to clear the vessel, reconnect with your soul, and invite the life-force of creativity to move through you. You become a channel. Not a technician.
You’ll learn to paint from the inside out—expressing art that’s true, alive, and uniquely yours.
And with The Artist’s Journey as your guide, you’ll come to:
Recognize the stages of the creative process
Navigate the dips and doubts without giving up or playing small
Deepen your intuition and learn to trust your inner compass
Set intentions that invite Divine Co-Creation
Discover hidden gifts you didn’t know were waiting
Your investment includes:
6 nights luxury accommodation in boutique holiday cottages designed for comfort with luxury mattresses, hot shower / bath, log-burning fire, hot tub.
5 days of painting tuition with Trudie
Daily movement, colour meditations and breathwork
Divine Healing to clear blocks and patterns that hold you back
Cacao and Heart-opening Ceremonies to attune to you to the Muse of Nature
All meals prepared by a private chef
All materials provided, energy healing & clearing sessions
Daily studio time + space to explore the Cornish coast

This isn’t just about art.
It’s about how you meet yourself through the process.
So many women come to this path thinking they’re here to “get better” at painting. But what they discover is something much deeper:
They wake up.
They return to their body.
They stop performing and start creating.
They become the version of themselves they were always meant to be.
Art is just the vehicle.
The real work?
Igniting the light within - and letting it guide the way.
join CREATIVE SPIRIT
This isn’t about technique. This is about coming home to the truth of your creative self.
You’ll leave with more than artwork.
You’ll leave with freedom. Confidence. Joy.
And a renewed sense of who you truly are.
This takes you to a form to confirm a few details, and I’ll be in touch!
