I would definitely consider being part of this retreat, as long as it is not in the USA -- as a Canadian, I am not travelling to the US for the next 3.5 years. I hope you get support for this, as it sounds amazing!
I love this! I’ve been eyeing a few retreats for years specific to art making, but I would be very interested in adding this to the list. It may take me a few years to make it financially feasible so I hope you do this annually!
As a grad student paying out of pocket for my program, it’s not something I can afford right now, but ABSOLUTELY something I would love to participate in down the road
Yes! Amazing! What a wonderful opportunity. As far as pricing, this is the difficult part. I send my daughter to a week of camp (6 nights, 5 days) for just about $500 each week. I usually try to send her to 3 weeks of the summer. So, my summer expenditure runs around $1,500
I truly believe YOU are worth every bit of your estimate. When she is working at aforementioned camp? I would have more flex in attending. BUT DO IT! I'm going to rely on the cheesy quote..."build it and they will come." I would be honored and grateful to have this time.
I would definitely be all in. With the cost being what it is before travel, I would like a little more info on the where when that’s decided because travel costs would impact my decision as well. One thousand percent believe this is a worthwhile investment and something much needed. Would sincerely love the opportunity to unplug and rest.
Absolutely, we are going to put Everything we have into the planning of these so we will be a bit out on the calendar anyway, lot's of time for saving up! And we will definitely do these annually, maybe even several times a year in different locations. We would be so over the moon to have you!
LOVE this idea. It's definitely something I'd have to budget for, so I probably won't be able to attend the first one, but I'm putting it on my manifestation and budget lists for the future!! :) <3
Like I said to Sarah above, it will take us a bit to get everything planned and ready so it'll give time for saving! And we'll also do this annually! Yay!
Future me would absolutely love to do this someday. I'm not in a place currently to make it happen, but my heart sings in the wild of Montana, though it's been a few years since I've been able to go sit/hike in the mountains. This would be a bucket list trip for me.
We will do everything we can to make this an option for Everyone who wants to be a part of this, we're talking about scholarship ideas and such as well. The wilds of Montana truly are a deep breath and we'd love to have you!
Like so many, I love this idea, but budgeting and location definitely would be a big thing (all love to my American neighbours but I don’t think I can come to the US any time soon.)
May I also suggest Vancouver Island for future considerations? I’m biased but gosh it’s gorgeous here.
I would absolutely love to meet you- I keep trying to coax you up to Grand Bend, Ontario to photograph our famous sunsets but having retired with two kids still at home/ university, this is not in my budget at this time.
I voted no, even though that doesn't really account for how I feel -- I just figured it was better for your data if you're trying to figure out realistic numbers in the near ish future. I wouldn't be able to commit to something like this until after I finish breastfeeding baby girl, and who knows how long that'll be but I did it for 33 months with my son. So it could be a while!! Plus as much as I believe wholeheartedly that the estimated cost is super duper fair and worth it, it will also take a while to save up for that when we're a single income family of (almost) four, and will be until kiddos are in school and I can start ramping up my work. So for those reasons, it'll be a no from me for a while.... But you can bet your butts I'd be in there like a dirty shirt if you continue doing them annually, and are still offering once I'm ready!!
After the stock market crash this past week, there is no way I would be able to attend. BUT, I think it's a marvelous idea and I hope you go forward with it. If I win the lottery, I'll be there for sure!
I would definitely 100% be interested! How many people would you host per trip? I feel like vibes differ between being 1 of 5, 1 of 10, or 1 of 15. That’s probably my main deciding factor.

Totally and completely fair hahaha. We wish WE didn't have to be here for the next 3.5 years too.
Holy shit, YES! I would absolutely love to do this!
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU!
I love this! I’ve been eyeing a few retreats for years specific to art making, but I would be very interested in adding this to the list. It may take me a few years to make it financially feasible so I hope you do this annually!
When you're ready, we're ready! :)
I think this is a great idea. If I had the money I would absolutely be in.
Seriously, we'd love to have you!

Makes total sense Tori, we won't just do one :)

The honor would be ours, I promise you this.

We will do several in different locations so that you could choose which would be most financially feasible for you!
Amazing. Thank you!!
You're amazing, and I so hope we get to hang out :)
Feeling is so mutual!
Would love to do this but would have to plan and budget more rather than say definitely yes and leave right now (love the annual idea).
Same! :)

I would be over the moon to meet you both!
DITTO!
We are maybe thinking seasonal, 4 a year in all different spots, maybe 2 domestic, 2 international? SO much to consider!
Yes but how exciting! Love the four times in various locations!!!
This is such an amazing idea and I can’t think of two better people to run it!!!
I WANT YOU ON ITTTTTTT!

Bucket list for US having you!

May I also suggest Vancouver Island for future considerations? I’m biased but gosh it’s gorgeous here.
Vancouver Island is ABSOLUTELY one we'd plan on doing! I think our plan is maybe like 2 in North America, 2 internationally? Who knows yet!
I would absolutely love to meet you- I keep trying to coax you up to Grand Bend, Ontario to photograph our famous sunsets but having retired with two kids still at home/ university, this is not in my budget at this time.
I've NO DOUBT we will meet, we will spend time together. No doubt.

Thanks for this transparency! Honestly it'd probably be in a year or so, in order to properly plan it. All this makes sense and is valuable insight!
After the stock market crash this past week, there is no way I would be able to attend. BUT, I think it's a marvelous idea and I hope you go forward with it. If I win the lottery, I'll be there for sure!
Totally hear you haha. This wouldn't be now, it'd be in the future! It'll take a LOT of planning!
I would definitely 100% be interested! How many people would you host per trip? I feel like vibes differ between being 1 of 5, 1 of 10, or 1 of 15. That’s probably my main deciding factor.
Fantastic question! I'm guessing the total number of people would be 12 or so? :)
Brilliant, count me in, I’ll just wait for more deets!
