Retreat Team

Tory Rust

Tory is a creative and the founder of Live Your Magic. Her work centers on creating spaces where people feel safe to soften, play, and reconnect with themselves.

With a background in photography and years of leading commercial shoots, Tory brings a grounded, intuitive approach to guiding groups, balancing structure with spontaneity.

Live Your Magic grew from her own desire for a life that feels less performative and more alive, and now lives on through retreats, writing, and her Play Oracle Deck.

Based between New York and Sayulita, Mexico, Tory is devoted to helping people return to creativity.
