Scott Beveridge Estate Retreats
(Art & Healing Estate Gallery)
A Living Space of Art, Spirit, and Renewal
The Scott Beveridge Estate is a restored Victorian home built in 1915, dedicated to art, healing, and conscious reflection. Once the private residence and creative sanctuary of Scott Beveridge—an artist, photographer, and longtime journalist for The Observer-Reporter—this home now lives on as a space where art, spirit, and human awareness meet.
This house stands as a living reminder that while a life may end, creativity, meaning, and consciousness continue. The Estate honors both life and death, not as opposites, but as part of the same unfolding human experience.
About Scott Beveridge
Scott Beveridge was a journalist, artist, photographer, veteran, and world traveler who spent over four decades working for The Observer-Reporter. His life was devoted to witnessing the world—through words, images, and lived experience. Scott documented stories, people, and places that might otherwise have been forgotten, carrying a deep respect for the passage of time and the lives it shapes.
Rather than allowing his home and creative legacy to quietly disappear after his passing, the Scott Beveridge Estate was restored as a way of bridging timelines—honoring the past while inviting healing into the present. The house stands as a living remembrance, offering space to reflect, to feel, and to acknowledge those who came before us, reminding us that no life truly ends when it is held in awareness.

A House Brought Back to Life
After Scott’s passing, the home entered a period of stillness. Over time, it has been carefully restored and re-imagined as an art and healing house—one rooted in sustainability, memory, and renewal.
Much of the artwork throughout the home is created from reused and reclaimed materials: restored canvases, painted bottles, and found objects transformed into intentional art rather than discarded. The house itself has become part of the art—an evolving, sustainable gallery that reflects the resilience of creativity and the continuation of life.
In an unexpected moment of synchronicity, the first piece of artwork discovered in the home depicted a woman who bore a striking resemblance to me. It felt as though I had arrived not just to restore a house, but to rediscover myself—exactly where I was meant to be. In many ways, Scott’s art brought my own creative spirit back to life, just as I helped bring his legacy forward.
A Time Capsule of Art, Spirit, and Healing
Today, the Scott Beveridge Estate exists as a time capsule of art, spirit, and healing for the community. It is a space that invites presence, silence, reflection, and reconnection—to self, to creativity, and to the quiet wisdom within.
The home is intentionally curated to support inner awareness and contemplative experience, making it an ideal setting for small, intimate retreats and gatherings.
Throughout the Scott Beveridge Estate, fragments, clippings, and artistic interpretations of Scott’s decades with The Observer-Reporter are displayed on walls, floors, and canvases. These pieces honor his storytelling, photography, and creative vision, weaving his journalistic legacy into the very fabric of the home. The Estate not only preserves these memories but also invites future collaboration with The Observer-Reporter to share this living archive, while celebrating Scott’s legacy with the community and beyond.
As you enter the Scott Beveridge Estate, imagine walking into a space where the memory of loved ones is beautifully preserved on walls, canvasses, and thoughtfully displayed as art, the first space you encounter is dedicated to honoring those who have passed, inviting reflection on lives often forgotten and the unseen presence of those on the other side. Intertwined within this space are snippets of work from The Observer-Reporter—cards, photographs, and artistic clippings displayed throughout the Estate. Together, this section celebrates life, memory, and Scott’s decades-long dedication to capturing stories that might otherwise be lost, creating a living archive that bridges past, present, and the ongoing flow of consciousness. Visitors are invited to bring a photo or small memento of a loved one, and for a small fee or donation, the artist will transform it into a unique art piece displayed in the Estate’s living archive. We call it a “living archive” because it’s not just a collection of Scott’s work — it’s alive. Visitors add to it, reflect, create, and honor memories, so the Estate is always evolving, bridging past, present, and future, just like continuous consciousness.
Silence here is not emptiness—it is a presence. Spoken guidance is offered intentionally, allowing silence to do the deeper work.
A Sacred Space for Intentional Gatherings
The Scott Beveridge Estate is a private venue designed for small, intentional groups seeking healing, reflection, and meaningful connection. As a historic Victorian home with high ceilings and layered history, the space carries both elegance and depth—supporting experiences that are inward, grounded, and transformative.
This is not a performance space.
It is a listening space
-where the walls have ears and the art whispers back, holding memory and offering a sense of healing through ancestral lineage wisdom and the echoes of creativity past and present.
The Scott Beveridge Estate preserves the integrity and honor of Scott’s estate name while also reflecting the life, art, and spirit I have brought into the home. Every restored piece, artwork, and space carries both Scott’s memory and the creative energy I have intertwined with his, creating a living sanctuary where past and present converge. This Estate is a place of remembrance, reflection, and ongoing creation, a home for healing, art, and conscious awareness.

About the Host
Cice Rivera, host, artist, author, clinical researcher, therapist, coach, yoga & meditation teacher, psychiatric addiction medicine professional, founder and creator of the Scott Beveridge Estate Retreats (Art and Healing Gallery). “My journey has taken me from moments of privilege and comfort to times of displacement and homelessness, and having traveled constantly as a military spouse. This Estate called to me as a spiritual home, a place where my life and art could converge with Scott’s legacy. Throughout the estate, interactive installations reflect movement, memory, and release — like the oversized art luggage created where visitors can leave a note with what they wish to release, letting the house hold it for them inside the luggage. This retreat invites you to explore reflection, creativity, and connection, honoring life, memory, and consciousness in a restored space where past and present meet.”
