Awaken your inner-goddess and see yourself as a work of art!

Following the retreat, Laura will turn your photograph into a unique work of art that you’ll treasure forever! Once the creative process is complete, you’ll receive a gallery of digital photographs and a one-of-a-kind painting of yourself to remind you of your brilliance.

“The retreat was just what this busy momma needed! Cara created a truly unique and beautiful experience by guiding us through a day of mindful movement, journaling, and community ceremony — all done in a cozy setting with uplifting music and delightfully nourishing food. This retreat was healing, spiritual, and fun. My heart is still overflowing with joy and gratitude several days later. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to grow in self-love and self-trust!” - L
What is Qoya Inspired Movement?
Qoya is a movement practice based on the idea that through movement we remember.
We remember that our essence is wise, wild, and free. With a combination of dance, yoga, intuitive movement, and community connections, you'll slow down and feel, sweat, play, and have fun! You'll experience the physical sensation of truth in your body and gain the confidence and clarity to follow it.
In Qoya, there is no way you can do it wrong and the way you know you're doing it right is when it feels good!
Meet Laura…
I’m an intuitive artist living in Charlotte, NC with my husband and our two rosy-cheeked little boys.
I create soulful portraits to inspire women to shine their light and embrace their own version of happiness (whether that’s dancing among the wildflowers, standing on a mountaintop, or getting lost in the pages of a great book).
You can usually find me in my sunny home studio with a paintbrush in hand, a lukewarm coffee by my side, and a few toy cars strewn about for good measure (such is the life of a boy mom).
Pure joy radiates from my heart chakra when I’m painting. It sends electric tingles throughout my entire body and leaves me buzzing like I’ve just chugged 5 lattes. It’s the kind of good energy I infuse into every brushstroke. (Read more.)

“I loved everything about the retreat, from the beautiful tree nestled mountain lodge type venue to the content. It was a wonderful day learning Qoya Movement, how to release what no longer serves you and GROW in a safe non judgemental environment. Cara is a beautiful inside and out. She radiates with loving kindness and the passion to help others grow. Cara poured so much love into every detail of the retreat. The organic lunch, desserts, healthy snacks, and herbal teas were delicious. I left the retreat feeling joyful, hopeful, fearless and grateful for the wonderful soul connections made with so many people!” -K.
