What a fabulous adventure we had! Bali has long been on my bucket list, and it was so nice and easy to go with the Creatives Retreats tour group. Kelly and Val curated many wonderful experiences. There were hands-on creative activities, exposure to local Balinese culture and belief systems, plus time for personal enrichment and development. We had excellent, fresh food every day and the highest level of service and accommodations. The Balinese people are so generous… their practice of making daily offerings to express gratitude made a deep impression on me. I returned home from this wonderful experience feeling lighter in mind, body and spirit!
- David Owen Hastings
Bali Creative Retreat 2026 was fantastic! The experience exceeded my expectations. The process expanded creativity for me in multiple ways. I learned art techniques in addition to enjoying the workshops. Although I was not specifically looking for a life perspective on personal energy and relationships, Kelly's shared insight teachings opened doors for me that are personally very helpful! The location, workshops, group activities, food, staff, group, lodging, etc... were great. Kelly and Valori together provide a perfect combination for personal creativity and learning in an interesting international environment. I highly recommend this retreat and I look forward to joining this dynamic duo on another retreat in the future! THANK YOU both so much; gratitude abounds!
-Debra Graham
Thank you, Val and Kelly, for leading us on our creative trip to Bali. I was delighted to get to know the beautiful people and culture of Bali, learn from generous local artisans, and have your guidance to open my mind and heart to new ways. I loved the journal as a way to capture my experience. Definitely not a traditional textile tour, this was so much more. If you have the opportunity to join Kelly and Val on one of their creative adventures, jump at it! If you go with a curious spirit, you won't be disappointed.
- Cathy Calloway

“I had no idea what a “Creatives Retreat” was! It is hard to put into words the energy, love, and knowledge shared by Kelly and Val. All I can say is that you need to experience it for yourself.
Retreat of a lifetime! Do it!”

Kelly and Val did a fantastic job. Lots of positive energy. Now I need to work on
eliminating those obstacles to creativity. Thanks Kelly & Val!”

— Kathy Langeliers
“My reason for signing up for this class was to explore how I might limit myself & my creativity & how I could let go of those pre-conceived beliefs and lean into the flow of my art. I received this and so much more.
Kelly & Val created a safe environment to explore art, to explore myself & how to create
limitless beliefs. I am grateful.”
— Rosemary Garboweicki
“What a wonderful adventure! This experience took me out of my predictable schedule and brought me to a lovely culture. I have learned a lot about myself and how to protect myself while loving others. The art classes are fun and challenging.
Our group became very close. I will remember the laughter, good times, fabulous food and wonderful accommodations. Val & Kelly are great leaders & teachers.....Thank you!”

"As I sit this morning reflecting on our Bali retreat, I am filled with joy and gratitude to you both for creating such an amazing experience. This retreat was exhilarating and the best thing I have ever done for myself. It was soul nourishing and I loved being surrounded with such brilliant, caring, and creative women in such a beautiful setting.You two have created magic and are so complimentary to one another. Thank you for sharing your passion and magic with all of us and for introducing us to the beautiful people and wonders of Bali.
Thank you…thank you…thank you…"

"Bali is a magical place in its own right, but the container and expertise that both Kelly & Val bring to the experience made it even better! Every detail was taken care of by them and it felt amazing to show up and let go! The creative/art activities Val curated were fun, meaningful, and subtly powerful. The spiritual insights and mindset coaching Kelly offered were spot on - along with her 20+ years of traveling to Bali, which made the cultural experience even richer. To top it off, the food and accommodations were luxurious.
I feel rejuvenated mentally, emotionally, spiritually and creatively. If you’re considering a creative retreat with Kelly & Val, say yes. Your future self will thank you."
— ~Kris Prochaska
"Thank you for my trip of a lifetime. I mean it. Thank you.
I am so happy to know you! Bali was really a life-changing wonderful experience. I will be forever grateful for you. I learned what it was like to feel quiet within my own soul without anyone asking anything of me. I did not know what that felt like. It was wonderful and spiritual And peaceful. I never would have gone to Bali if it weren’t for you."
— Renee Sigman
"Thank you so much for the wonderful experiences we all got to be exposed to in Bali such as the silver making class, walks in the rice field, the water temple, making our malas, learning the ways of the Balinese culture, and I could go on and on.
Mostly what I was experiencing is who I really am and who I really want to be and how do I get there. Learning how to shift my energy and also how to calm the voices of negativity from myself and from others.Mostly … I AM AN ARTIST!!"
— Jann Gaige
"I just completed a retreat experience that was nothing short of life-changing. The retreat Kelly and Valori hosted was designed specifically for people like you and me; creatives. They invited all types, including Quilters, Writers, Designers, Painters, Fiber Artists, Seamstresses, Storytellers, Branding Specialists, Stylists, Teachers, and more, with the intention of helping people like us find deep fulfillment in our creative expression and in our lives in general.
Valori brought the cutting edge and culturally significant artistic activities and Kelly brought the practices to increase self-awareness and unleash creativity in all areas of life … And unleash we did."
— Jenny Doan, Missouri Star Quilt Co.
Its so difficult to put into words how wonderful the retreat was, but here goes...
I signed up for the Bali retreat hoping to begin acquiring experiences rather than material possessions. Kelly and Valori provided a journey that far surpassed my expectations. The retreat provided the perfect variety of group activities balanced with free time, along with excellent Balinese cuisine and superior accommodations.
A friend recently asked me “is Bali still with you?” I quickly responded yes, as I remembered the warmth of the Balinese people with their unique and beautiful customs and gorgeous surroundings. Bali has changed me and I could not ask for anything more.
— Beth Wells
"Now that I am home, and reflecting on all that I experienced, there is one thing I realize above all else…… I am a kinder and more gentle person. The Balinese people have an inner light that shone on me in a way I had never experienced, and it truly changed me for the better.
Beyond the Balinese people, the people in our group of “creatives” were all wonderful and such fun! Plus Kelly and Valori were incredible leaders and guides; such inspiring women! What a gift they gave to me. My heart and my creative juices are overflowing."
