Make room for wonder.

Team Flower Retreat
September 11–15, 2022 | Chambersburg, PA
SOLD OUT

Retreat to the mountains and valleys of rural Pennsylvania for a 3-day, 4-night recharge.
Break daily routines and take some time to intentionally fill your creative well with wonder.

Come, settle in.

I’ll meet you in an open field as the sun sinks low. We will eat together at a beautifully set table and watch the stars come out. It's here that we'll begin to relax and experience the miracle of the moment.

 

During this 3-day immersive floral encounter, you’ll enjoy: 

  • Thousands of curated fresh flowers to surround yourself with

  • A custom toolkit to design for you onsite (take it home with you!)

  • Robust floral supplies to create with, ones that keep sustainability in mind

  • Guided instruction tailored to your educational needs and creative goals

  • Personalized design prompts that gently challenge you to overcome creative barriers

  • Full container and vessel library to borrow from on-site consisting of hundreds of design options

  • An intimate small-group educational setting—only 6 seats are available

  • All meals, snacks, and lodging* are included in your registration, making rest easy

  • Professional photography of your floral work, plus additional photography tips to equip you for great floral photos in your home studio

  • Care for your spirit and honor for your art—mindful moments are incorporated into this experience

Registration fee includes all materials, instruction, accommodations*, and meals.
Early bird payment plans available. 

 

Experience the miracle of the moment.

After our under-the-stars opening dinner, if time in nature is what you need, we'll pitch a tent right there and fill it with cozy blankets for you.

Or if you prefer, follow me on a restful starry drive to a beautiful log cabin that was built with love by my dad one step at a time. You can rest here in a shared or private room—or in a tent pitched on the covered deck where the sound of the streams coming together resonates. Soak it in.

This retreat is limited to only 6 seats for a reason. Every moment is filled with intentionality, personalized to facilitate deep connection with nature and restoration for the spirit.

These are the moments that vocational creatives need.

Increase your sensitivity to beauty and goodness.

The next morning, we'll spend time together in my personal gardens noticing beauty and increasing our sensitivity to goodness.

As we move throughout the day, we’ll prepare a place for that beauty and goodness to be shared with others—in our hearts first and in our tangible business offerings next.

A library of hundreds of containers and thousands of flowers will be available to you, along with a loving guide who is close by to listen, ask important questions, and help you rise. No pressure, just rest—receive the beauty.

During meals, our small group of flower folk will have intentional, life-giving discussions about our work as creators.

Watch demonstrations and freely create with personalized prompts.

The next day, you’ll watch demonstrations that include overhead and ground-based installations using reusable or biodegradable techniques. You are welcome to jump in and co-create or just observe.

When this time comes to a close, you can request demonstrations for anything you’d like to learn more about—bouquets, arrangements, boutonnieres, anything. I’ll spend the day sharing all the techniques I’ve learned over the last decade, and the studio will be open for you to freely experiment and build confidence in new areas as you feel inspired.

On the third full day, we’ll return again to the garden and a tidy studio refreshed with beautiful flowers. Your work station will be prepared with design prompts created just for you. Choose the one that resonates most, and begin creating. As we move through this day, you’ll have the opportunity to have your work photographed if you’d like (and learn photography tips you can use when you get home). In the evening, our experience together will culminate in a beauty-filled celebratory dinner.

As you return home the following morning, you’ll have new techniques and solutions for your business, but more importantly, you will carry wonder in the deep recesses of your soul.

I can’t wait to share this time with you.

—With Love, Kelly

When you carry wonder, everything else falls into the right place.
