The excitement is building for our retreat next month!
We’re hard at work on the final details to ensure it’s a wonderful experience for you.
We’ll be emailing you – sometimes daily – over the next several weeks with updates and information that we hope will be beneficial.
Our experience is that students become a bit anxious about what to expect when they arrive at an event such as ours, and
our goal is to take the worry and stress out of your time with us with these communications.
If there is anything we don’t cover that you may have a question about,
Feel free to text Barb, and she will answer your questions and put your mind at ease.
TEXT
Here’s one small favor we’d love to ask 💛
Please share your cell phone number with us so we can stay connected with you by text.
If you’re a new student, would you mind texting Barb from the phone you plan to bring to THE DESERT 2026? Please include your name in the message so we can add you to our contacts.
Thank you—we’re so looking forward to connecting with you!
If you are a returning student, and your number hasn’t changed since your last retreat with us, we have all the info we need – no need to do anything!
INSTAGRAM
We have an active Instagram page and would love for you to share your photos and posts with us throughout the retreat. You can find us here.
Hashtag your posts to

Thanks for sharing your fun times at The Desert 2026 and the beautiful projects you make with us!
HEALTH & SAFETY
We have protocols in place to help keep everyone safe during our retreat which include hand sanitizer in our public spaces and hand washing stations adjacent to classroom.
You can do your part to stay healthy and help keep others around you healthy as well by updating your vaccinations before arriving at our retreat.
With that said…
We know you’ll have a wonderful time with us and leave full of inspiration, new techniques, and tips to keep creating beautiful jewelry year-round.
And just as special, we know you’ll make lasting friendships and stay connected with these new friends until you reunite again at a future Vivi Magoo retreat.
We’re looking forward to gathering soon!
