FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WOMEN’S CREATIVE RENEWAL RETREAT HOSTED AT THE CARNEGIE AUGUST 11

CINCINNATI, OHIO, JULY 15, 2024 – “Living Story,” a guided retreat-style experience is set for Sunday, August 11, from 12:30-5:30 p.m. at The Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum. The four-hour experience will focus on creative renewal for women seeking a day to explore ideas and sharpen focus for projects in an inspirational environment. Living Story is co-led by Dr. Sherry Cook Stanforth, author, professor emeritus, and founder of Originary Arts Initiative, and Stacy Smith Rogers, freelance journalist, entrepreneur, and founder of Stronger Girl Coffee.

The retreat will feature optional guided creative prompts, feedback circles and energy-boosting one-on-one mentorship sessions. “Your vision will gain surprising, new texture if you set aside one day in the company of other creative women to create new material or modify existing ideas,” Stanforth explained. “The Carnegie’s beautiful space and surrounding historical neighborhood will lend inspiration to your creative process.”

Living Story invites a fresh, curious perspective that will encourage participants to start, finish or dive deeper into a creative project. “Whether it’s crafting words, images, colors, textures or thoughts together, you’ll experience the time, space and inspiration to gain momentum,” Rogers added.

Light refreshments and coffee will be provided. Creative breaks may include a “story stroll” around charming Columbia Tusculum. The event can be tailored as a group experience or individual retreat. Registration is $69. Space is limited. Reserve a spot at www.strongergirlcoffee.com/livingstory.
