Plan your personal retreat
. . . perhaps you'd like individual studio time to work, uninterrupted, to be inspired by nature and respond to
your muse. Inquire about day rates today.
See a program you'd like
to share with your co-workers, friends, team, church group, scout troop or family? Reserve a date for your group today. You can bring the
potluck too! (Or, have it catered.) Perhaps an adult birthday party . . . share quality
interactive time exploring a new process, technique, and relaxing together. A destination type establishment, not
a place you would just happen upon. However, if you find yourself nearby and would like to join a workshop, we encourage people
to call for last minute availability, there may be room for one or two more.

Just off a dead-end rural
road is a place we call Whispering
Woodlands Twelve
acres of rambling woods and meadow call for you to explore, relax, reflect, and draw inspiration from nature.
Let your stress melt away as you come down the
gravel tree-lined driveway and enter nature's retreat. The views are picturesque Wisconsin with a mix of hardwood and evergreen
trees along with the cornfields and pastures of nearby farms. Programs have been developed in the creative arts and nature.
Individuals or groups can come, escape the daily grind, connect with nature, & of course be involved in an interactive
program. We have incorporated the necessary adjustments for accessibility to the studios and some of the natural surroundings,
providing a comfortable setting for all. Leave
feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, revitalized, and enriched. During the lunch break you're invited to wander down to the picnic tables in the meadow or just take
a stroll, following trails and pathways into a variety of wooded areas. Benches and chairs are scattered along the way,
providing opportunities to rest, reflect and relax.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I'm here, I do, I teach, I love
the 'aha' moment, for myself, but especially for students. What I do is eclectic in nature, I learn, play, try variations
with direction, individualize, diversify, change, explore and challenge the process, look for solutions, often experimental,
new/different, and why not? I strive to provide these opportunities to others through my studio/workshop space, Whispering
Woodlands, a retreat to nature for the creative mind.
Jackie Hefty At the helm of Whispering Woodlands is Jackie Hefty. It
is with extensive support and encouragement from family and friends that the opportunity to develop this vision has been made
a reality. Jackie made a major life style change, leaving full time employment, moving her home and enlisting the support
of her terrific family, along with some awesome crews (building, concrete, plumbing, electricity, dry walling, landscaping,
and more) to prepare this environment for your enjoyment and enrichment. Welcome
