surprise and delight

creating into the night

seasonal retreats

the tl;dr

A long weekend for a variety of creatives to teach, connect, and make. Small group, equal participation, loose structure. Everyone plays a role. Everyone shares something. Everyone works with their hands. Time in nature, shared food, space to rest or create as the energy demands it. No rigidity, no outcome required. Just the conditions for something to emerge. Salon meets Creative Council meets Incubator.

Who might long for this? Anyone who is a self-proclaimed creative. We are striving for a variety in media to enrich the experience. Anyone interested in learning other processes, in gaining and sharing different perspectives, or starting or finishing a piece. Someone who is looking to engage in deep discussions and to reconnect with or reset their artistic mind would also benefit.
