About Quinn Corte

Hi! I’m Quinn Corte (she/her), Founder of The Retreat Space.

Every time I gather intentionally with other souls to create or heal, I come alive. From soul retreats to summer camp; from design meetings to dance class, growth through community is my deepest joy.

Expressive arts and social connection are at the core of my life mission. An only child with a huge heart, I was curious about everything and had a wildly creative inner world. I became a writer, artist, and dancer. During the summers I taught kids’ expressive arts with my mom. As a student, I studied anthropology, art history, writing, and graphic design.

Professionally, I have worked in design and exhibition management for major Boston art museums for over 13 years. Some of my hugest growth and closest relationships have evolved from museum work. I’m a public speaker, an advocate for wellbeing at work, and a mentor to younger colleagues.

I have always been a magpie, forever collecting gems of wisdom and building a nest of kindred spirits. By establishing The Retreat Space, I am stepping into my power as a circle keeper, writer, creator, and a grounded guide for deep healing and growth.

I am a student and teacher of trauma-informed, healing-oriented, anti-racist care techniques that are grounded in the real world. In my offerings, I integrate my lived experience with vast trainings and self-study of mindful self-compassion, neuroscience and psychology, ancient wisdoms, earth magic, soulwork, personal development, somatic healing, self-empowerment, and social justice.

On a soul level, I identify as a woodland creek fairy, a mountain spirit, and a summer queen.

Originally from Texas, my homes are in Boston, MA and Asheville, NC.
