left‑brain planning
and
right‑brain dreaming
meet in
sacred sisterhood.
You want to feel inspired, grounded, and truly aligned as you head into the new year.
You need time and space to tune into your inner wisdom and actually map out your goals, not just dream them.
You have too many half-finished planners, Pinterest boards, or visions stuck in your head… but not a real, embodied plan.
You're over trying to force productivity or hustle your way to success, especially when it doesn’t feel good.
You're tired of feeling unclear, stuck, or second-guessing what you really want (or how to make it happen).
You wish there was a creative, soulful way to set meaningful goals. One that honors your intuition, helps you take aligned action, and connects you with like-hearted women who get it, so you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
There was a way to step into the new year with a clear vision, soulful alignment, and a plan that actually feels good...
You could finally have a roadmap for your dreams — one that merges creative expression with aligned, actionable steps...
You could set aside sacred time to dream big and design intentionally — and feel supported every step of the way...
You could create a vision board that wasn’t just pretty, but powerful — one that reflects your deepest values, goals, and purpose...
You didn’t have to figure it all out alone — because you’re surrounded by a community of big-hearted women walking this journey with you...
You could look back at the year knowing you stayed true to your dreams, because you had the structure, support, and soulful guidance to bring them to life...
I’m a creativity coach, intuitive artist, dancer, and homeschooling mama who helps women reclaim their time, reconnect with their inner spark, and create a life that feels aligned, spacious, and soulfully fulfilling.
I’m a tree-hugger and ocean-loving adventurer at heart—our family lives for surf sessions, campfires, and barefoot beach days (I’ve swum with sharks, surfed alongside whales, and once locked eyes with an orca just 25 yards away!).
But more importantly, I bring that same grounded, free-spirited energy into my work, guiding other women to create space for themselves, using creativity as a path to healing, confidence, and clarity.
With 25+ years in entrepreneurship and leadership, I’ve built a six-figure business from the ground up, reinvented myself more than once, and now support women around the world through transformational coaching, soulful art practices, and mindset work that truly moves the needle.
I created Dream + Design because I know what it’s like to crave clarity but feel scattered. To want more from life and business, but not in a hustle-harder kind of way.
I also know the power of sacred vision, sisterhood, and aligned action, and how combining structure with soul can truly change everything.
If you’re ready to tune into your intuition, map out your dreams, and manifest your most aligned year yet, I’d love to welcome you inside.
Let’s dream big (and actually make it happen).

Before I took this course with Desiree, I couldn’t clearly picture how all the seemingly disparate parts of my life were going to fit together. After completing my board, it was like a super powerful life-map was revealed to me! And it was such a well-organized process! Desiree had all the details covered. The course materials are gorgeous, the videos are professional and easy to follow, and I am left without a doubt that Desi’s soul is embedded in everything she does. There’s nothin’ quite like taking a vision board workshop with a talented artist, creativity coach, and wild surfer chick all wrapped into one. Love!
- Ally G.

"Desiree gracefully and lovingly created a safe space for me to work through a huge life transition. Our time together helped me find a deeper understanding of my life's path, allowing me to work through some tough emotional blocks. I am forever grateful for her compassionate spirit and creative heart. Thank you Desiree!"
- Laura W.

"The specific element I liked the best was the 'medicine' that is Desiree...the sense of being personally cared about, not getting lost in the group. I really enjoyed the experience - glad I said yes."
- Zannie R.

“I loved how Desiree is a listener and space holder. I felt inspired, seen and heard. She had the language for what I felt, and that gave me permission to feel and open up. Working on the energy blocks brought out my more creative side in my healing sessions with clients, which is magic, and she was so good at holding that space."
- Renee Y.

"I didn't know how much time I could realistically put into the program, as my life is already full to the brim with 'duties'. Thanks to committing to the best of my ability, I finally got to set up a studio space in my house, which didn't happen for 10 years! What I liked best was the No Pressure approach, as I already have a very overwhelming life, as well as the sharing and holding of space. It's a true and beautiful gift :)."
- Nargisse R.

Desiree helped me finally take action and make my first vision board. It was so fun. It helped me gain clarity on what I want to bring into my life, and I loved the process of creation. The most awesome part? In the FIRST month I already had gotten 2 things off my board—talk about magic! Thanks Desiree! I recommend this program if you want to (finally) take action, create a vision board, and feel the power for yourself!

"I had a big break through concerning the fact that I can freely create without judging myself. To be in front of a canvas or any other project doesn’t intimidate me any more. I felt gently taken into a very complex process made easy with such talent. I also loved sharing our creations with the private group. It was encouraging and inspiring."
- Rakel S.

"I was scared to death of 'art' and thought I was unable to do it, but Desiree lovingly guided and walked with me through my fears, and I am forever grateful for her workshops and for her presence..."
- Colleen K.

“I've noticed that I'm thinking more about how I can use my own creativity to assist with processing and healing. And so, I'm working on being more intentional about welcoming creativity into my own personal life. The possibilities of what one can gain from engaging in a creative task with your guidance are limitless! I'm so grateful for the inspiration, Desiree! Thank you for the gift of creativity coupled with your warm guidance.”
- Janet N.

She invited me in on many levels: how to approach it, how to actually use it as a tool for manifestation and how to be resourceful with what I had. And this year I started off with a wonderful vision board which I now look at every day and it’s a great reminder of where I want to go and what success feels like to me.
- Monicka C.S.

“I am forever grateful for this gift. It’s opened a part of me up that I’d packed up long ago that NEEDS to be EXPRESSED. I love that She’s back to play again. Your personality is soothing and loving. You’re encouraging and accessible. I also loved that I could set up right at home and can continue the journey well past these sessions. You’ve allowed me to open up a part of me I’d locked away...Thank you, Desiree!"
- Rona T.

Our Prosperity Circle is a 3-month group coaching experience designed to keep you aligned, focused, and supported as you move through the early part of 2026.
These sessions are a blend of life coaching, creative planning, and gentle accountability, with space to explore both personal goals and business dreams.
Whether you're focused on your well-being, relationships, or building (or growing) a creative business, these calls are here to meet you where you are.
Each session includes:
A guided check-in to reflect on your progress and challenges
Gentle coaching to move through any resistance, doubt, or limiting beliefs
Support around planning, organizing, and taking aligned action
Celebrating your wins and clarifying your next best steps
Sisterhood support from a like-hearted circle of women

I've gotchu, Mama! You’re the heart of your home, always giving, always juggling, and somewhere along the way, your own dreams got pushed aside.
You’re craving space to exhale, reconnect with what inspires you, and create something just for you.
This experience is your permission slip to pause, reflect, and map out a year that includes you - your joy, your creativity, and what lights you up.
With supportive tools and a global sisterhood beside you, you’ll start turning that inner vision into a clear, doable plan - without having to do it all alone.

You’re a creative professional, spiritual entrepreneur, or multi-passionate artist with big ideas - and a million tabs open in your brain.
You’ve got talent and passion, but you’re spinning your wheels trying to figure out what to focus on next.
This experience helps you cut through the noise, prioritize what matters, and turn your scattered ideas into a clear, actionable plan.
You’re ready for a heart-centered path that blends vision with real action.

You’re new to vision boards, and you've told yourself, “I’m not creative” or “I can’t even draw a stick figure” - but something inside is ready for a fresh start, and you're feeling called to explore something new.
You’re craving a playful, judgment-free space and craving more meaning as you step into the new year.
You’ve never done a retreat like this before, but you’re excited to try something soulful and new - no art skills required, just an open heart and a willingness to explore.
You wake up feeling grounded and energized - your vision for the year is clear, and you actually feel excited to take action.
Your vision board isn’t just collecting dust - it’s become a living, breathing map that’s guiding your most aligned decisions.
Instead of second-guessing your path, you trust yourself. You know what you’re here to create — in your life, your work, and your relationships.
You’ve traded the hustle and burnout for a deeper sense of purpose - your days feel intentional, inspired, and on purpose.
You’ve got rituals, tools, and a powerful sisterhood to support you when doubts creep in - you’re no longer doing this alone.
Your inner artist is awake. Your calendar reflects your values. Your goals feel like soul-led invitations, not pressure-filled obligations.
This time, you’re not just 'dreaming' a better year - you’re designing it.

Seeing my vision board everyday just instantly brings me back to the making of the vision board, helping me feel aligned with what truly matters to me.
It felt like I was giving myself permission to spend time and attention to what I really wanted and desired. I loved the lead-up to the Vision Board Dreams workshop and the little pointers on how to get started, and it felt great putting time and energy into making my vision board.
I never tried it even though I knew of them for years. Until this year. It felt a bit indulgent and soooo gooood, especially when you are feeling tired and a bit overwhelmed. It helps to have something to look at, filled with what feels great for you – to focus on the good stuffs. Making a great board requires getting yourself into a space where you feel safe and nourished to dream and Desiree provides that.
- Candace L.

“I couldn’t recommend working with Desiree enough! Her method of teaching is so approachable and intuitive and appropriate for all skill levels or no experience at all! She is a kind hearted teacher who truly guides those participating into an experience in the present moment. What I loved was that I felt so full, grounded, loved, and hopeful upon completion. Take her workshops if you have the opportunity!”
- Court M.

“I look forward to Desiree's workshops like tea with a friend. She makes you feel instantly welcome, at home, engaged, and valued. I learned to connect with my inner sense of freedom and ease and to LET IT OUT. I've never thought of myself as a visual artist, and left her workshop with artwork I was proud to display on my walls. I love watching her paint and how she lets us all in on her process. Kind, gentle, deep, wise, and patient -- she's an exceptional creativity coach. You'll see!”
- Jennifer B.
Dream + Design 2026: An Art Retreat + Prosperity Circle is a soulful, creative virtual retreat and 3-month mastermind experience to help you align with your vision, map meaningful goals, and manifest with intention.
It includes a live Vision Board Art Retreat on January 11, 2026, followed by three months of Prosperity Circle coaching calls starting on the Lunar New Year, February 17, 2026. You’ll also receive immediate access to the self-paced Vision Board Dreams course with bonus manifestation tools.
This retreat isn’t about being “good” at art — it’s about expression, intuition, and soul-aligned visioning. Whether you’re a seasoned creative or haven’t picked up scissors and glue since 4th grade, you’ll be guided every step of the way. Think of it as sacred playtime for your dreams.
Great question! This isn't just about making something pretty and hoping it comes true. In this experience, you’ll be guided through intentional coaching, abundance rituals, and goal-mapping to align your vision with real, actionable momentum. We integrate manifestation with mindset work, soulful strategy, and a circle of support to help you follow through.
No worries. All sessions are recorded and added to your private course portal so you can watch (or rewatch) on your own time. You’ll also have ongoing access to the Prosperity Circle forum and replay library for all mastermind sessions.
You’ll get access to the Vision Board Dreams online course (your prep work and creative foundation), one live virtual retreat on January 11, 2026, and three mastermind-style Prosperity Circle sessions to keep you aligned and on track. Plus digital downloads, journal prompts, and a community space for support.
The Prosperity Circle is a 3-month group coaching experience that begins on the Lunar New Year, February 17, 2026. It’s a space for soulful accountability, life and biz check-ins, and sisterhood support as you move through the next season.
Think soulful mastermind meets goal-mapping with heart.
Each call includes space for coaching around mindset and vision blocks, celebration of wins, and guided rituals to reconnect with your goals. You’re not doing this alone - this is the space where we bring your vision to life.
Not at all. While some women in the circle are creatives, coaches, or entrepreneurs, many are working professionals, mamas, or women navigating life transitions. The Prosperity Circle is a space to grow into your next chapter - whether that’s starting a dream project, calling in more abundance, or living in deeper alignment.
Here's what's on the calendar.
Vision Board Dreams – Virtual Art Retreat:
Sunday 1/11 at 11 am–2 pm PT
Prosperity Circle Mastermind Sessions:
Tues 2/17 (Lunar New Year Kickoff!)
Sun 3/22
Wed 4/22
All calls are from 11 am–12 pm PT
You’ll receive email reminders with the date, time, and your private Zoom link. No paid account needed—just join from your computer, laptop, or phone. Calls last about 1 hour.
This is your sacred self-care time, but I know that sometimes little ones are part of the journey too (you might even see my daughter pop into view!). We honor that many of our beautiful clients are mothers and caregivers. Children are always welcome to be nearby - this is a family-friendly space that celebrates your full lived experience.
So, babies in arms or kiddos playing nearby are always welcome, but if you'd prefer to honor their privacy, you're welcome to turn off your camera or adjust your angle. (If your child is visible or audible on a Zoom call, please know they may appear in the replay if the session is being recorded. Desiree East Studios is not liable for the appearance of children in any group content).
That said, if you have young ears around, please note there may occasionally be adult language - so you might want to pop in some earbuds to keep the vibe mama-friendly.
If you can’t join live, no worries - replays will be available, so you can tune in when it fits your rhythm, whether that’s during a quiet moment in your day or after bedtime snuggles.
The virtual art retreat is one 3-hour Zoom session, and each Prosperity Circle call is just 1 hour, once a month. Everything else is self-paced. You get to engage in a way that works for your rhythm.
You’ll have ongoing access to the Vision Board Dreams course materials, including the bonus manifestation tools and guided prompts, for as long as it's active online. Feel free to revisit whenever you need a reset or creative recharge!
And in the case Vision Board Dreams is ever retired in the future, you'll be given the option to download all the creative goodness - videos, prompts, and materials - so you can keep the magic flowing on your own time, at your own pace.
Access to the Virtual Art Retreat and Prosperity Circle mastermind sessions is limited to the current round only. If you'd like to join us for future live rounds or group coaching sessions, you'll have the option to enroll again when registration opens.
That’s okay! This experience is grounded in intention, reflection, and aligned action. Whether you call it manifesting, goal-setting, or visioning, what matters is that you’re creating space for what truly matters to you - in a way that honors both your intuition and your ambitions.
Welcome back! You can join the Virtual Art Retreat and Prosperity Circle at a special alumni rate. Each year’s journey is completely fresh - new intentions, new energies, and new magic - and the support of group coaching all season long.
That’s exactly why this space exists. We slow down to align. This isn’t another to-do list. It’s a sacred container to reconnect with your why and clear the mental clutter.
That, and we actually begin after the new year, after the holiday chaos has settled (whew!).
As much as I love creating courses, I do allow my programs to evolve as the years go by, especially as the needs of my clientele change. I cannot guarantee that this program will be available for eternity, nor can I guarantee it will be offered at the same price, because I occasionally like to update the program according to participant feedback.
I do appreciate you carving out time for this program to put your full effort into it, because just like life, you get out of it what you put into it.
That said, I want you to be 100% ready and fully committed to your creative journey, because this program is more than putting beautiful finished creations on your wall --- I give you a safe space to dive deep and explore how you can set your intentions to create profound changes in your life, using the creative process as a reflection of your life.
If now is not the right time, I understand and would rather you dive in with both feet to get the best results, meaning, you will get your hair wet (and I promise to keep it fun and light-hearted at the same time!). I do hope you join me today!
We don’t just talk about your goals...we envision them through art, intuition, and embodiment. Then we map them out with practical steps that feel aligned and doable.
Less hustle, more heart.
Absolutely - especially if you’ve ever felt pulled between dreaming big and following through. For less than a single 1:1 session with me (valued at $375), you’ll receive a full retreat experience, coaching support, and an entire toolkit of manifestation practices. If you’re ready to start your year with clarity and confidence, this is a beautiful way to say YES to yourself.
The Prosperity Circle offers a group coaching container, where you'll receive personalized guidance, accountability, and reflection in a supportive community setting. My private coaching begins at $1375/month — this is your chance to access my support at a much more accessible rate inside a sacred, shared space.
That said, if you feel called to work with me privately, I'm here for you...you have the option of booking 1-1 sessions outside of this program.
Once you get to know me, you'll see how much I LOVE sharing the creative process and guiding others through deep, meaningful transformations. I have poured my heart and soul into this program, and I hope you'll enjoy the creative process and transformation as much as I do.
If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase within 10 days into the course, I will fully refund the cost of your order, less a $15 cancellation fee. No refunds will be issued after that date.
Thank you for understanding, and I do hope that you'll join me and stay on board until the end!!

"This experience has taught me to connect with my heart! (you have no Idea how HUGE this was for me). It taught me to honor myself. Please know, as an introvert, I was a bit shy to participate fully in the course. Though I was quiet, I was definitely present, and your gifts, time and effort were truly received."
- Antoinette M.

“Fridays are dedicated to making my art pieces and nurturing creativity. To do that, I have been painting once a week so I can gain clarity and apply my thoughts to the development of my business with that specific thought in mind. Thanks to Desiree East for teaching me this practice!”
- Juliana A.

"I saw my fears and the uncomfortable zones in both my painting and my business. I did a digital cleanse and made my decision to restructure my business. Desiree is a patient and calm teacher and the perfect coach to guide people. I learned how the arts can heal and learned how to use paintings to reveal fears and blind spots. The results were more than I expected, and now I know how to use art to transform my thoughts. Thank you Desiree!”
- Yu-Fen C.

1) Wing it (again). Start the year with a blank planner, a half-finished vision board, and no real plan to stay on track once life gets busy, and continue to spend more time (and emotional energy) trying to navigate overwhelm and creative burnout on your own...
Let’s make this the year you follow through with a plan that feels as good as it looks.

Because another year can’t pass by with your dreams collecting dust.
This isn’t about adding one more thing to your plate - it’s about finally creating the space to reconnect with what you want.
It’s a chance to pause, reflect, and step into the new year with vision, clarity, and purpose - not just good intentions.
With Dream + Design 2026, you’ll start the year with a creative ritual that grounds you, a plan that excites you, and a circle of support that actually lasts beyond January.
✨ Just one virtual art retreat.
✨ Three soulful mastermind calls.
✨ Tools, prompts, and community that carry you through the season.
Because the version of you that’s aligned, lit up, and in flow?
She’s waiting. And she’s ready now.
