AWAKEN THE MUSE WITHIN

Intricate geometric mandala design with multiple concentric circles and overlapping triangles, in pastel purple on black background.

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.

Trudie Tara shares why she created Creative Spirit, and what’s in store for you at this special retreat offering a unique blend of art and spirituality.

who is this retreat for?

  • Artists wishing to re-energise your art practice, ready for deeper embodiment

  • Soulful Professionals craving reconnection and inspiration, ready to reignite the flame of your creative expression

  • Creative Souls navigating transition in your career, your life, or spiritual path and know it’s time now to create

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.

I'm ready to paint my soul art

What Awaits You Inside Creative Spirit

This is a sacred calling to connect with the Muse: She who brings inspiration, energy, passion and creativity. 

Abstract painting with black, gray, blue, and white brushstrokes and lines.

☑ 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. I don’t think there’s anything else out there doing this at the moment.”‍

—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.

Trudie Tara Moulton professional abstract painter in her studio in West Cornwall UK

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.

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.

what people say…

  • A Co-Creation with Spirit

    “It's such an honour to come and do this with you, Trudie, because you hold a very beautiful container. And working with the spirit of Nature is also a container. I think we're all surprised how deep it felt, and how deep it went into the whole creator's process of calling on the Muse, and how our offering opened up a completely new relationship with primordial creativity. That was really something. And that's what we were asking ourselves to do: Can you let go enough to allow a union, a co-creation with the Creative Spirit itself? And really, what results we've had! What awakenings in our hearts, in our whole beings, and also in on our canvas. I've been very touched. And it’s been so much fun. I mean, what a joy! What a journey —really, it has been a journey. Thank you so very much.

    — Lulu, Somerset

  • This may be the missing link

    "That sentence is going to be a bit of a game changer for me. This may be is the missing link of me creating the paintings that move me!”

    —Sam Broughton, Artist and tutor, Devon, UK

  • Opening to new possibilities

    “I came because I was bored with the way that I was making my own art. I needed just a little bit of a nudge in a new direction. And what I'm leaving with is I'm more excited again. I use that word excitement. There have been things here that I didn't expect to do. There have been definitely things that have taken me outside the realm of what is relevant in the day to day with my life —and I love how that opens us up to new possibilities.

    So I think if you're interested, if you're curious about that mix, I don't think there's anything else actually that's doing this at the moment.”

    —Alice Sheridan, Artist and Founder of Connected Artist Club

  • Expansive

    “The journey that we've been on through in just a few days, through producing art, through a kind of unleashing and recognising and listening to the creative spirit in us and onto the paint board has brought up so much stuff in life. There’s a realisation of things that I'm going to bring into play in my life.  

    One AHA moment was that to move forward in life doesn't necessarily mean moving forward in a linear way. It's more of an expansive way - but the expansion doesn't have to be bigger. It can be richer and deeper, and actually what already is, but just much richer, like a richer colour.”

    —Kathy, Leicester

  • A Rich Experience

    “Wow, amazing!  Every day has been completely full and overflowing with practical work on our canvases, from the moment we wake up and go into the studio space. The food has been absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared with loads of nutritious and colourful and delicious ingredients. The accommodation is fabulous —it's warm, it's comfortable. There's everything we need. And the spirit, the creative spirit side, has been… it's almost indescribable, because it's there aren't really words for it.  I have been touched very deeply, and I'm looking forward to engaging with that more as I perceive as my art, with my life. I have had such a rich experience that there's no way that I won't continue that when I leave.” 

    —Nikki, Devon

  • I feel rejuvenated around my art practice

    “I feel inspired and excited. I feel rejuvenated around my art practice. I must honour my own intuition, stop over-ruling the heart with the rational mind.”

    — Lynn Hanford Day, Coach, Therapist and Artist, UK

  • Anything is possible now!

    “I feel anything is possible now! I can see a way of using my doodles and images to develop paintings. I’m not entirely sure how yet, apart from just doing it and discovering, ‘that’s not it’ while trusting my instinct on what I do want.”

    – Hilde, UK

  • Amazing. Love it!

    “It’s very unusual to be in someone else’s working space. And I think that's quite interesting to bounce off. There have been things here that I didn't expect to do - things that have taken me outside the realm of what is relevant in my day-to-day life. And I love how that opens us up to new possibilities. I’m leaving with excitement. I’m going to take back practical stuff in the studio for sure. Amazing. Love it!”

    —Alice Sheridan, Artist, founder Art Juice Podcast & Connected Artist Club

  • Trudie's joy is truly inspiring

    “Trudie’s obvious joy in her vocation, love of colour and the spiritual practice of painting is truly inspiring, and will resonate with the hearts of artists and creatives, and indeed anyone who’s felt an artistic calling.”

    — Catherine Strong, journalist, ArtSPEAK

  • It's like you can see my potential

    “When you’re trying to work through your own things, you’ve got these blinkers of fear and lack that really limit what you think you’re capable of doing and achieving…. It’s like you can see my potential whereas I can only see a few steps ahead of me…. It’s so creative and it’s so fun!”

    — Antonia, UK

  • this combination is Essential

    “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 and Founder of Connected Artist Club, Art Juice Podcast 

  • Joyful and energising

    “These joyful and energising paintings by Trudie Tara Moulton are like little jewels bursting with colour.”

    —Jessica Lloyd Smith, Art Consultant

  • Now I see my creative roadblocks

    “Trudie has really helped me to see what my creative roadblocks are. Her enthusiasm and empathy are contagious and she is very inspiring.”

    —Sasha Yates, singer-songwriter

  • I feel reactivated in my creativity

    “I wanted to find out what the 18 year old inside me (who never went to art college) needs at this point of my life. Trudie enabled me not to feel scared of the unknown - and not to fear but to trust the process. I feel reactivated in my creativity. Very juicy!”

    —Julie, UK

  • Expect the unexpected

    Trudie’s course is like no other. Get to truly know yourself —heal from the inside out and have fun in the process. Expect the unexpected.”

    —Julie Mason, Designer

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.

EMMA BOHADANA

Wise woman, singer-songwriter, contemporary dancer and vessel for Divine Truth, Emma is a trained Kundalini yoga teacher and space-holder with over 25 years experience leading transformational embodiment workshops for women. She has 5 children and a deep love for others.

Emma will be supporting our ceremonies and creative openings and leading daily breath work sessions.

Lulu Urquhart

Earth-acupuncturist, geomancer, herbalist, plants-person and award-winning landscape designer, Lulu connects with subtle earth energies and ecology for re-establishing healthy biomes. She is passionate about working alongside Nature to develop a reciprocal and balanced relationship between ourselves and our wildlife, plants and planet.

Lulu will be leading a ceremony to help us connect with our original Muse - Nature herself.

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.

A woman with blonde hair standing against a white wall with green vines, wearing a pink dress, a long beaded necklace, and a light gray shawl.

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.

Yes I'm in! Save my place

You don’t Need to Learn More. You Need to Remember What’s Already Inside.

A woman with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a pink t-shirt and a black apron covered in paint splatters, stands barefoot in front of a large colorful abstract painting on a wall. She is smiling and holding a palette knife.

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:

  • 5 days of painting tuition with Trudie in her studio

  • Daily studio time + space to explore the Cornish coast (and swim in the sea)

  • Daily movement, colour meditations and breathwork

  • 6 nights luxury accommodation in boutique holiday cottages designed for comfort with luxury mattresses, hot shower / bath, log-burning fire, hot tub.

  • 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

Open-concept living and dining area with exposed wooden beams, skylights, and large windows. The space features a dining table with breakfast foods, a cozy seating area with armchairs and a white sofa, and a modern black wood-burning stove. Interior includes white cabinetry, potted plants, and soft natural lighting.

“We have arrived stress free thanks to your directions and Wow, Wow, WOW!! By miles the most wonderful place we have ever stayed, with so many clever and delightful touches to discover and enjoy. The amazing gates alone, on both sides, are works of art in themselves - can’t wait to see the sun coming through those glass floats!”

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.

Trudie Tara Moulton (née Trudy Montgomery) is one of the next generation of artists whose work is part of a direct line of British Abstract Expressionist painting which has its roots in the ground-breaking abstraction of artists such as Patrick Heron and Peter Lanyon. She works from a meditative state of action, using the possibilities of paint to convey in the abstract what is, so often, inexpressible via words.

Trudie’s paintings have graced the covers of magazines, been exhibited in galleries in London and Los Angeles and are held in corporate and private collections in Europe, the U.S., Canada and Dubai.

Trained in Divine Healing Master Key to Level 5 (of 5), Spiral Bridges and Star Magic Healing (FTL1), Trudie has awakened advanced healing abilities working in the quantum field. She offers 121 coaching and healing sessions for those interested in working privately.
