The time is now, and the need is there! Interested in becoming a sponsor? All donations make a lasting difference in the lives of others and are deeply appreciated.

“I attended Elizabeth Trinkaus’ Pinnacle View Retreat. A friend sponsored me; it was life-changing – a springboard for a renewed outlook on my life. The retreat provided tangible tools to move forward by rewriting old scripts and living a new self-empowered plan. As a result, I love my life (I didn’t know that was possible because I was so hard on myself), and —I get to help others by making donations to the Scholarship Fund! You can do it too.

April 23, 6:00 – 8:00 pm, Chapel Hill, NC: Watercolor Painting 101 – Our monthly Grace + Grit Retreat is featuring the fabulous watercolor artist, Cindy Michelotti. She will teach us creative skills, and you’ll get to take your artwork home! Cindy Michelotti is a channelling artist who has been gifted the eye of painting with watercolors. She lives part-time in Verona, Italy, and spends the rest of her days in Chapel Hill, NC.

At a very young age, she was given an art set. In her early 30s, she found inspiration in an article in Southern Living magazine about watercolor. and decided to teach herself by watching videos, reading books, and practicing. During the pandemic, she realized the value of creating art, finding peace, joy, and an escape in painting — most anything, from Roman architecture to dilapidated gas stations, to all of nature, as well as ordinary objects. The joy she finds in painting, and the joy others find in her art, motivate her to continue with gratitude.  Pre-registration is required. Reception and all materials are provided. Space is limited.   ~ $49.00. Venmo: @Elizabeth-Trinkaus-1. Confirmation will follow.
