Workshops & Retreats

Drawing on the themes from Found Art: Discovering Beauty in Foreign Places, Leeana offers experiential workshops and day or weekend retreats to provide space for self-reflection and self-expression.

Each offering includes teaching sessions, writing prompts, large and small group sharing, and an original found art piece inspired by your writing samples.

If you attend a Found Art Workshop in San Diego at the Soul Care House, a portion of the proceeds goes to help women affected by domestic violence and homelessness.

To find out when the next workshop or retreat will be offered, check the calendar page.
