Attend

Applications are OPEN. Deadline is June 30th.

Art of Retreat is a one-of-a-kind experience, designed to take you out of your everyday and into a space where you are surrounded by breathtaking nature and a supportive community focused on learning & connection.

Intentional

We encourage you to think ahead of ways you can contribute to the culture of the event. We start by asking you these three questions:

  • What’s a problem you want to solve?

  • What’s an idea you want to share?

  • What’s a conversation you want to have?

Inclusive

We welcome folks from all across the globe to apply for an invitation to the Art of Retreat. The community strives to create a safe, inclusive experience where you feel comfortable bringing your whole self and asking for what you need.

“This was my first year and I had no clue what to expect. Not only was I awestruck by the knowledge of everyone but I also felt extremely welcomed. I usually get extremely nervous about being with large groups of people I don't know. As soon as I arrived I felt comfortable. Thank you” - A.S.

Participatory

Everyone is invited to contribute to the creation of the Art of Retreat. You can speak, skill-share, run a workshop, volunteer, make art, build playspaces, or propose an entirely new addition to the event. Check out other ways to participate from the drop-down above.

Playful

Someone once said that the Art of Retreat has a ‘business in the front, party in the back’ vibe. Education & learning are centered at this event, but we equally balance that out with room to connect on a personal level with others and relax.
