- **Event Description**: A Retreat for Artists to Remember Their Wild NatureAbout this EventA Retreat for Artists to Remember Their Wild NatureYour creative spirit isn't tired—it's overstimulated, overthinking, performing.In  a world that measures your worth by output, we're inviting you to step  into a different rhythm. No expectations. No critique. No performance.  Just you, the land, and permission to create from pure play.Creative Rest is  designed for artists of any medium who need to get out of their heads  and back into their bodies, back into wonder, back into the kind of  unstructured curiosity that feeds real creative work.Bring  your sketchbook, your pen and paper, or nothing at all. Let the forest  be your studio. Let rest be your practice. Let yourself be inspired by  all the beauty that nature has to offer.Why Rest Matters for CreativityThe  myth of the tortured artist has it backwards. Creativity doesn't come  from grinding or forcing. It comes from space, from play, from allowing  your nervous system to settle enough that inspiration can actually find  you.When we're constantly producing,  we're pulling from an empty well. Rest isn't the absence of work—it's  how we refill. It's how the subconscious does its magic. It's how  connections form, ideas germinate, and the spark returns.Here,  you'll practice a different kind of making: creation without agenda,  expression without judgment, art as exploration rather than destination.  This is how artists have worked for millennia—in rhythm with the  seasons, in conversation with the earth, with time to wander and wonder  before the work begins.Rest is radical. Rest is generative. Rest is where your best work begins.What to ExpectOver  three days and two nights, you'll be held by 54 acres of forest, river,  and meadow. This isn't a workshop where you'll be taught technique or  expected to produce finished pieces. This is an invitation to play, to  experiment, to let creativity move through you without pressure or  product.You'll gather in circle with  fellow artists who understand the particular exhaustion of always being  "on." You'll move your body, quiet your mind, and make things just for  the joy of making. You'll collect materials from the forest floor.  You'll work with your hands. You'll remember what drew you to art in the  first place—before deadlines, before critique, before the pressure to  perform.There's no agenda here except to rest, reconnect, and create from a place of fullness rather than depletion.The Rhythm of the RetreatFriday Evening5:00 PM — Arrive and settle into your room at BlackHouse. Each space has its own character and a private deck for quiet reflection.6:30 PM — Opening circle around the fire. We'll share intentions, release expectations, and begin the work of slowing down.7:30 PM —  Dinner together. Nourishing, seasonal food prepared with care. This is  the beginning of being fed—literally and metaphorically.9:00 PM — Evening wander or sauna session. Let your body begin to unwind. Stargaze. Listen to the river. Do nothing at all.Saturday8:00 AM — Morning movement and yoga. Gentle, grounding practice to reconnect with your body and breath.9:30 AM — Breakfast in the meadow. Coffee, tea, and slow morning conversation.10:30 AM —  Forest therapy walk. We'll move slowly through the land, noticing  textures, colors, light. Gather natural materials if you're called  to—bark, stones, moss, feathers. No phones. Just presence.12:30 PM — Lunch and rest. Time to nap, journal, swim in the salt water pool, or simply be.2:30 PM —  Creative play session: Making with natural materials. Work with what  the forest has offered—assemble, arrange, build, create ephemeral art.  No rules, no finished product required. Just hands, materials, and  curiosity.4:30 PM —  Free time to wander and wonder. Explore the 54 acres. Sketch by the  river. Write in your journal. Nap in a hammock. Follow your own rhythm.6:30 PM — Dinner by the fire. Stories, laughter, and the kind of conversation that happens when people feel safe enough to be honest.8:30 PM —  Optional evening creative session: Art by candlelight. Bring your  sketchbook, your notebook, your materials—or just watch the fire and  rest. Create if inspiration strikes. Rest if it doesn't. Both are  welcome here.Sunday Morning8:00 AM — Early Bird breakfast 9:30 AM — Movement and Breathwork to welcome the day10:30 AM —  Creative play session: Intuitive making. Return to your materials or  explore new ones. Collage, sketch, build, write—whatever wants to  emerge. We'll create together in shared space, each following our own  inspiration.12:00 PM —  Brunch and closing circle. We'll gather to reflect, share, and honor  what's shifted. Not what you've made, but how it felt to make it. Not  what you produced, but what you remembered.1:00 PM — Farewells. Depart when you're ready, carrying this slowness back into your life.What's IncludedTwo nights in a unique container suite with private deckAll meals—seasonal, locally sourced, prepared with intentionGuided forest therapy experienceYoga and movement sessionsCreative play workshops with natural and art materials providedAccess to salt water pool, wood-fired sauna, trails, fire pits, and gathering spacesTime. Space. Permission to rest.What to BringYour  creative tools if you'd like them—sketchbook, pens, watercolors, a  camera, a journal. Or bring nothing and work only with what the forest  provides. Comfortable clothes for moving and getting a little dirty. An  open heart. A willingness to play.Who This Is ForThis  retreat is for artists, makers, and creatives of all kinds—painters,  writers, photographers, musicians, designers, crafters, anyone who  creates and needs a reset. You don't need to be a professional. You  don't need to be "good enough." You just need to be tired of performing  and ready to remember why you make things in the first place.This  is for anyone who's forgotten how to create without judgment. For  anyone who needs permission to rest without guilt. For anyone who's  ready to step off the treadmill of productivity and back into the wild  rhythm of real creative work.Investment$1000 per person for 3 days and two nights - all inclusive (plus tax)We  offer sliding scale pricing and scholarships for artists facing  financial barriers.

Your own peaceful haven. Your own place to surrender completely.THE POWER OF PRESENCEOne of the most profound gifts of spring is presence. In the ForRest Retreat, you're invited to experience the medicine of witnessing—to let go of constant planning and drop into a deeper noticing. The spring forest is your teacher here, showing you that in attentiveness, everything essential is revealed.Let the aliveness wash over you. Let it fill you. Let it teach you what words cannot.THE BENEFITS OF EMERGENCEWhen you truly allow emergence, you:Restore vitality and rekindle creative energyRelease stagnation and welcome flowClear mental fog and enhance clarityReconnect with inspiration and purposeAccess joy and possibility that come with new beginningsRealign with your body's natural rhythmsRemember that you are part of nature, not separate from itEmergence is not a luxury. It is a biological necessity. It is how we grow, how we create, how we step into our fullness.Let yourself receive these gifts. Let yourself bloom. Let yourself become.THE IMPORTANCE OF EMERGENCEWe live in a time that treats growth as something to force, control, or perform. But nature shows us a different truth: emergence is the natural, gentle continuation of rest. Seeds emerge from winter soil when the time is right. Wildflowers push through the earth in their own perfect timing. Trees emerge from dormancy, softly sending their energy upward into tender buds.You are as wild as the forest. You, too, need seasons of gentle, patient emergence.This retreat is your permission slip to honor that truth.Give yourself this gift. Give yourself permission. Give yourself the soft renewal you've been craving.A FINAL INVITATIONA FINAL INVITATIONThe forest awakens in spring for a reason. The animals emerge. The trees bud. The earth blooms.And so can you.Come emerge with us. Come remember that renewal is your birthright. Come awaken your wild spirit. Come experience the profound medicine of spring's unfolding.Come home to your wild nature.Let yourself unfold. Let yourself bloom. Let yourself rise.You are as wild as the forest. You deserve to emerge."Wild Nature Retreats are designed to help you remember you are nature. Through guided Forest Therapy, art, play, and rest, the magic is revealed."ForREST - Where doing nothing is doing everything.
