Creative Wilderness is a beautifully curated experience that beguiles attendees to let their creative flags fly. Rukmini Poddar and her team of generous retreat leaders set the tone for both introspection AND remarkable community building and exchange. Journaling, meditation, yoga, amazing music, delicious meals, plenty of art supplies, dancing, fire pits and stargazing, as well as lovely, thoughtful accommodations, all make for an undeniable art- and life-affirming weekend.
