Samish Island Arts Retreat 

image_thumb3_thumb_thumb_thumb_thumb[2]

Come and explore your own creativity with a supportive community.

Our basic theme for the weekend is YES! and…  The idea being that the best way to respond to creative new ideas is to support them and look for ways to help them flourish.

Bring the creative things you are working on or are excited by.  Bring instruments, art supplies, scripts, poems, writing paper and pens, flowers, crayons, and whatever else you might want to use to explore aspects of your own creativity.  Come prepared to share your art, creative passions, techniques, and practices.  If you are a visual artist, please bring some of your work to share with others.  If you are a musician, bring songs to teach or share.  There will be multiple opportunities for Creative Show and Tell.

Throughout the weekend, there will be some discussion about the future of the Arts Retreat.  Come with your greatest ideas of what a weekend of arts exploration can look like, and be prepared to respond to other ideas with a resounding YES!… And.

The schedule for the weekend is evolving rapidly.  When there is something a little more concrete, we will send it out to anyone interested.

Looking forward to seeing you at Samish Island

Cost for the weekend is $100 US. 

To register contact Chris Phelps chrisinlangley@gmail.com 

For more information contact Dan Beer danwbeer@gmail.com or Chris Phelps.

Cost should not be a barrier to attendance.  Please contact Chris or Dan if you need a little help to attend.
