Our workshops are centered around unlocking creativity. There are no prerequisite skills required, and a lot of the work can apply to a variety of creative mediums. We do a lot of work around idea generation, understanding our intrinsic creativity and how to access it, and collaborative prompt based activities. Certain retreats include more skill-based workshops, which vary by location.

YES! Our retreats are open to creatives of all kinds - whether you used to have a regular art-making practice and haven’t touched it in years, have never made art but want to incorporate creativity into your life, or are just looking to try something new. If you are open, curious, and looking to walk through the world with more play, intention and creativity, you are a good fit.

While our workshops are more centered around creativity than business, a lot of previous attendees have found our retreats to be helpful when starting a creative business. Our retreats attract an array of professional creatives and the community element is invaluable. We have lots of attendees who come sharing advice, contract templates, and skills with each other! We are also happy to answer any business related questions.

Cedar Coast is fully off-grid, but it’s amazing facilities run and feel like the luxuries of home. Each tent has a flushing toilet, as well as electricity so you can charge your devices. Reliable wifi is available in the shared lodge. Tents are heated with a wood stove, and it is up to guests to maintain their fire throughout the day. There is a separate shower house with hot water, and local bathing products provided. (Sea Wench shampoo, conditioner, and body wash - it’s the best!)

Getting around the facility requires maneuvering rocky trails and stairs. If you have concerns about being able to stay at Cedar Coast, please reach out to us and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Once you fill out the form on the retreats page, we will send you an email with a link to pay your deposit to secure your spot. We’ll email you a receipt and welcome letter to confirm your reservation, along with a complete informational packet to help you plan, prepare and pack for your retreat. The final remaining balance is due, in full, 90 days prior to your trip and is non-refundable.

We are a small business and price our retreats as low as we can while still covering our costs! That said, we want it to be accessible as possible, and if price is a barrier to attending send us an email and we can see if there's something we can do.

Yes! We work with amazing local chefs who can accommodate any dietary restriction and will make food tailored to your needs.
