Sunshine Update & Special Retreat Opportunity

Hey Sunshines,

I wanted to share a quick update about what we have coming up with Sunshine Creations Co. and a few ways our amazing community can help support what we are building.

Our mission has always been to create welcoming spaces where people can connect, create, and feel encouraged. As we continue growing our programs and working toward expanding our nonprofit efforts, we are excited to keep offering creative experiences for our community.

Upcoming Events

We have several creative gatherings and workshops coming up and would love to see you there. Full details and registration can be found here:https://www.sunshinecreationsco.org/upcoming-events

Creative Scholarship Sponsorship

We currently have three women who would love to attend a craft night next week but are not able to cover the registration fee right now. We are looking for three sponsors at $35 each to make it possible for them to join us.

Your sponsorship provides their workshop seat, all craft supplies, and a welcoming place to connect and create. Sponsors will be recognized as supporters helping make creativity accessible to our community.

If you would like to sponsor one of these seats, please reply to this email and I will coordinate the details.

Important Retreat Update

We are also planning our very first Rest & Renew Retreat in Sevierville, Tennessee on March 20 through March 22, 2026.

This will be a peaceful weekend focused on rest, connection, reflection, and creativity in a beautiful lakefront cabin.

Because this is our first retreat and we are piloting the experience, we have decided to offer a founding rate of $150 per person instead of the original $299. The only additional cost would be for the optional painting project ($35.00 per person) we will be doing during the weekend.

The cabin reservation must be confirmed tomorrow, so if this is something you may be interested in, please reply to this email and I will send you the full details and payment info. We also offer after-pay.

501(c)(3) Launch Support

We are in the final steps of officially launching our nonprofit arm so we can expand community outreach, creative scholarships, and supportive programs for those who may not otherwise have access to these opportunities.

There are still some startup costs required to complete the process, and we are currently seeking community supporters and local businesses who would like to help us take this final step.

If you would like to help us officially launch our 501(c)(3), please visit our website athttps://www.sunshinecreationsco.org/as-if-ministry
