The Wayward retreat was life-changing for me in deep & affirming ways, & applications are open for next year’s retreat. waywardretreats.com

We call the morning hours “solo work time,” but discussion and collaboration are always welcome. Cross-pollination of thoughts from artists of different media & backgrounds has led to inspiring results, often years after the retreat. Applications for the 2024 Retreat are open!

A lot of our produce at the retreat comes from Lauren’s garden, which is as vibrant and nourishing as we always hope our week will be. She illustrated last year’s version for us, including a little field guide of a border.

With this theme, we're thinking about the ways fire can represent a force of creation and resilience. We're also considering both the challenges and joys involved with forging one's own path as a creative in the world. How has your internal furnace shaped your creative voice?

For every Wayward session, we pick a theme. These themes weave throughout the week, inspiring how we think of everything from meditations to collaboration projects, craft projects, and even cocktails! Our theme for the 2024 session will be FORGE…

Psst. June is often berry-foraging season at the retreat.
