We're going to the ren faire!
Join us for a weekend dedicated to whimsy and play! We're headed to Atlanta where we have a lake side estate to make our castle for the weekend.
Once our team picks you up from the Atlanta Airport your weekend is dedicated to play and joy, you don't need to think about anything. Our private chef, Raul, will cook all of your meals while you participate in two highly themed photoshoots, a watercolor map making class, and a day at the Georgia Renaissance Festival. You will be surrounded by other joyful weirdos for a relaxing weekend of creating art and community.
Accommodations
We've booked an estate with private lake access, a short drive from the Georgia Renaissance Festival as the perfect home base for a weekend of whimsy.
A few months before your retreat you will receive a preference sheet so Raul, our wonderfully talented chef, can craft a menu that not only accommodates your dietary restrictions, but caters to your tastes.
