CASCADING CREATIVES RETREAT
where you and your biz recharge
August 12-15, 2025
We're gathering together as entrepreneurs, creatives, and community-healers to unplug from the grind culture and tune into each other. This retreat lets us pool our lived experiences and share our hard-earned wisdom with each other, helping each other as much as we help ourselves.
This is not just a getaway:
It's the gateway to our next era.
This retreat lets us
stop, collaborate, and listen.
(You're welcome for that totally up-to-date and relevant cultural reference.)
You thought we were just joking with that reference?
Yo VIP, let's kick it:
-
This retreat is a radical pause. We're deliberately taking time away from our busy schedules and actively engaging in rest and rejuvenation, both of which are CRITICAL strategies for creating a grounded mindset and a sustainable workflow. This pause helps us notice how many things we're actually doing and allows us the space to decide what we no longer need to carry.
-
In a world so focused on individuals, collaboration is sacred and connection is currency. Through shared meals, deep conversations, creative offerings, and intentional play, we’re co-creating a community that believes in doing business differently. We rely on each other, not because we can't rely on ourselves but because we value our experiences and want to help each other work smarter, not harder.
-
We're having a range of incredible speakers giving workshops, their personal industry secrets, and tangible advice for how to move forward personally, politically, and financially. We’re here to hype each other up, hold space for each other, and walk away with more than just ideas. We’re leaving this retreat revitalized, with new allies, new ideas, and new visions of business where we all have seats at the table.

FAQs
-
This retreat is for the ones who are always pouring into others and are finally ready to refill their own cup. It’s for creatives of all kinds—writers, therapists, designers, visionaries—whether you’ve got a whole empire or just a notebook full of ideas. If you’ve ever craved a space where your bigness, softness, ambition, and need for rest are all welcome, this is it. We see you, the multi-passionate, tender-hearted powerhouse trying to make art and change the world without burning out. You’re not “too much”—you’re just right, and you belong here.
-
Nope! You don’t need a polished brand, a website, or even a business name. If you’re in the dreaming, exploring, pivoting, or “I think I’m onto something” phase, this space was literally built with you in mind. Come as you are—messy, inspired, uncertain, curious. There’s no need to perform or prove anything; we’re here to co-create, brainstorm, and help you root into your next chapter, whatever it looks like. The vibes are low-pressure, high-support.
-
We get it—most of us feel awkward AF in front of a camera. But Ariana is like a photo whisperer: she’ll have you feeling comfortable, radiant, and maybe even gasp like you actually enjoy being seen. This isn’t about looking like an influencer; it’s about capturing your realest, most grounded self—the version of you that’s been dying to take up space. Plus, we’ve got glam time (think: intentional self-care, not makeover-montage), hype from the crew, and an environment that’s designed to bring out your glow. You’ll walk away with photos that say, “I’m here, I’m powerful, and I’m proud.”
-
Yes—and not in a performative “we’ll try our best” way, but in a we’ve thought this through way. We’re taking care to accommodate dietary restrictions, sensory sensitivities, and mobility needs, and we’ll be asking about yours in the pre-retreat form so we can tailor things with intention. All speaker notes will be provided so you can revisit the magic in your own time, and journals will be gifted to help you process, reflect, or doodle to your heart’s content. We also strongly encourage you to bring whatever tech, tools, or supports help you learn, focus, or regulate best—noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, screen readers, voice-to-text apps...all welcome. This space is being designed with real bodies and real brains in mind, and you don’t have to shrink or mask to be included here.
-
Nope—this isn’t group therapy, and it’s not a replacement for your 1:1 therapist. But it is a space that’s been carefully curated by two mental health professionals, so emotional safety isn’t an afterthought—it’s the foundation. You’ll find reflection, grounding, and gentle support woven throughout the experience. This is where healing meets creativity, not through diagnosis or deep dives, but through connection, softness, and space to breathe. It’s not therapy, but you might still cry a little (in the best way).
-
Then you're right on time. This retreat was made for the burnout babes, the overwhelmed creatives, the ones who are always on and secretly dreaming of an off-switch. We’ve intentionally built in rest—quiet mornings, low-pressure afternoons, cozy vibes—because true creativity needs spaciousness, not a packed agenda. You don’t have to show up “energized” or “inspired”—you just have to show up. We’ll meet you in the mess and help you find your way back to joy, purpose, and your damn self.
