Welcome to the Art of Retreat!

Congratulations! We are so excited to invite you to join us at Lake Wenatchee this September. This year, Art of Retreat runs Thursday September 21 - Sunday September 24!

Please read the following information carefully

A Standard Ticket includes:

  • Housing for 3 nights in a shared cabin in the Cascade Mountains complete with electric and wood-burning stove. This includes Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. We will send out more information about this later. However, if you plan to arrive earlier or stay later, please reach out ASAP. While we can not guarantee housing, we will do our best to connect you to local hosts.

  • 9 buffet-style meals, from dinner Thursday evening through lunch Sunday, as well as light snacks and drinks on site, provided by a paid cook team. In past years folks have said this has been more than enough, but we welcome you to bring anything else you like—including other drinks and snacks. Please see our policy on alcohol on our FAQ.

  • 4 days of events including access to over 25 sessions, talks, and workshops delivered by fellow practitioners & experts, night missions, impromptu activities, and more. We officially kick off at 7 PM on Thursday and wrap at 10am SHARP on Sunday. All folks must be off grounds by 2pm Sunday.

  • Free roam of the Wenatchee State Park grounds, including the lake + dock, 26 acres of woods and trails, and all the facilities. Of course we ask you LNT.

A Standard Ticket does NOT include:

  • Transportation to Seattle. We recommend you book your flights sooner over later!

  • Transportation to and from the site. Lake Wenatchee is 1 hour and 45 minutes from the nearest airport (SEA-TAC). We will put together a rideshare group to help folks attending coordinate rides and rentals, as needed.

  • Standard + Transit Ticket = Our Standard+Transit ticket includes a ride to and from the site. Your flight must arrive before 2pm on Thursday and depart after 2pm Sunday to be eligible. The added cost helps the driver cover gas and/or rental. We only have a limited # available. This is designed for solo and tiny (2 person) groups. If you are bringing a team of folks, please try to organize your travel or rent a car!
