I can imagine you more questions popping up…
Here are some commonly asked retreat questions and my take on them:
Q: What makes this retreat different from a class or workshop?
Retreats offer immersive, holistic experiences that nurture the whole self—not just one project or skillset. The Creative Reset will blend creativity, wellness, and community.

Q: I am so busy and tired. Will this drain me even more?
That feeling of being too tired to even try something new is exactly why we created this specific experience. It's not another item on your to-do list; it's a dedicated "mini retreat" designed to be your reset button.
Think of it as an investment in your joy and renewal. You are giving yourself two full days to receive support, community, and inspiration. It’s designed to be the opposite of draining; it’s a direct antidote to burnout.
Q: Do I need to be an artist to attend?
Not at all! Creative retreats are designed for all experience levels—from total beginners to seasoned artists. Curiosity and an open mind are more important than skill.
