THE RISE UP RETREAT

January 1 update: Due to some last-minute cancellations, we have just a few spots open! Check out this brand new video for a peek at the journal we'll be creating, a look at some of the goodies you'll receive, and everything else you need to know. It's not too late to sign up!

Join us in Phoenix, Arizona, for Determined to Shine's fourth retreat - and our first-ever winter getaway!

Once again, our retreat will be an immersive creative experience designed to help you celebrate your authentic self and build an amazing life.

This is the RISE UP RETREAT. We will be digging deep to crush our limitations - the ones that keep us from creating the art and living the life we dream about.

GET READY TO:

  • Experience a weekend of transformation and new friendships
  • Create multiple art journaling projects using a ton of fun new supplies
  • Bust out of the beliefs and patterns that keep you feeling like you're not enough
  • Learn new art techniques
  • Participate in guided meditation, breathwork, and spiritual transformation
  • Discover the power YOU have to shape your life into whatever you want it to be!

About the instructor

Founder and President

Allyson Bright

I’m Ally, and I’ve got your back.

I know that life can be really damn hard sometimes. But the one thing I’ve learned through all of my own struggles?

There actually is a secret to getting through the twists and turns.

Are you ready?

It’s you.

It’s that deep-down, magical voice whispering that there just might be something more than surviving.

It's listening to your soul when it longs for joy. And love. And magic. And silliness.

Consider me your personal guide to all of that and so much more.

I’m a Certified Holistic Life Coach, a Reiki Master Teacher, and an Advanced Crystal Practitioner, among other things. But most importantly? I'm here for you.

I’m committed to creating powerful healing experiences because they changed my life - and you deserve that magical transformation, too. Because there absolutely is something more waiting for you.

And if you’re ready, I’m here to help you find it.
