Zoë Pawlak

Zoë Pawlak is a Canadian artist, teacher and facilitator whose work explores truth-telling, intuition and embodied creativity. She has taught many workshops, is an experienced retreat host and has spoken publicly on creativity, sobriety, and authentic living.
Grounded in her lived experience of recovery, Zoë brings a compassionate, grounded approach to guiding others through personal and creative transformation. Her teaching blends contemplative practice, creative inquiry, movement and a deep connection to the natural world, equipping participants with practical tools to cultivate presence, resilience, and inner clarity.

She believes in a sense of humour and fun as some of the most healing modalities we can employ for a life worth living. Substance use so often brings us far from our inner knowing and light. Zoë champions the belief that creativity, movement, breath and sobriety are intimately linked practices that foster a more honest, vibrant and meaningful life.

Upcoming Programs by Zoë Pawlak

Sobriety and the Deeper Life

September 27 - 29, 2026
If you’ve been sober for a while and are feeling stagnant, this weekend is a great opportunity to be restored and enlivened by dynamic programming, spacious landscape and deep care.

Abstract Landscape Panting

September 30 - October 3, 2026
Set within the expansive high desert of Ghost Ranch, this three-day immersive workshop invites painters to engage landscape as both subject and source. The land becomes a catalyst for observation, abstraction, and intuitive response. Come and be inspired by the very land that inspired Georgia O’Keefe.
