Your Inner Artist Knows Something Your Business Brain Has Forgotten

There's a reason the best work doesn't come from hustle.

It comes from curiosity, play, and
the willingness to see the world like a child again -
full of possibility, texture, light, and endless stories.

This retreat isn't about adding another skill or fixing what's broken.

It's about remembering.

It's about bringing that child-like wonder back
into your business, your vision, and your life.

When you see through fresh eyes, everything changes, including the work you create.

What to Expect

• Curated experiences with guest artists, designed to awaken your inner artist through play, not pressure.

• Deep conversations with fellow photographers who get it.

• Nourishing meals,
wellness moments, and
space to breathe.

• A reconnected sense of wonder.

• A renewed vision for your work and your life.

Our Home-Away-From-Home

Our venue is an inviting home nestled in the Southern California hills, with nature at our doorstep and views for miles. Close to everything, but you'll feel worlds away from daily stressors.

You'll enjoy a bed in shared room and bathroom, making it feel like the fanciest sleep-away camp ever! Perfect for making new friends, bonding over late night chats before dozing off, and memories for a lifetime.

Two private rooms have been opened up for those who prefer to pay a premium for the private space.

"The venue was honestly amazing. Tucked away between hills and beautiful nature trails, the home felt so private and cozy. It was big enough to where you could find a nook somewhere and have some alone time if needed."

~Jaci

Real Connection Doesn't Happen On a Schedule

It happens spontaneously around a firepit with three women you just met, and suddenly you're talking about the price conversation you dread, or how you almost quit last year, or what it feels like to pour so much of yourself into work and still feel unseen.

It happens over slow mornings.
In between sessions.
In the down time that quietly brings the most vulnerable conversations.

That's what we've built into this retreat.

Time to wander the grounds.
Time to sit and sketch.
Time to actually talk - not pitch, not "network," - just talk with women who get it.

Because these aren't strangers from the internet.
These are other women who speak your language, who understand the particular ache of creative work, who've felt the same doubts and dreams you have.

And when you build genuine friendships with women in your industry?
They become

your referral partners,
your collaborators,
your cheerleaders, and
your safe harbor when business gets hard.

"I believe the connection with other women and the emotional work I did on myself may be the part of this retreat that will stay with me the longest."

Tentative Itinerary

F.A.Q.s

What's included?

Everything! Once you arrive on site, we take care of it all. You are responsible for your transportation to arrive to the venue.

Your registration includes all meals, snacks around the clock, beverages (including wine and champagne!), all sessions, full access to all property amenities (pool, jacuzzi, yoga pavilion, trails, zen garden), swag bag, and priceless memories and connections. We will also be doing a zoom group call after the retreat to check in, reconnect, and make sure that your spark is still going strong ❤️

When do I need to arrive?

You’ll need to arrive on Friday, February 5th after 2pm so that you can settle in and attend the welcome reception. Saturday and Sunday are full program days. Check-out is on Monday, February 8th before 4pm.

How do I get there?

The nearest airport is Ontario, California (code ONT). It's a one-hour drive from the venue, a straight shot down the highway.

If you want to extend your trip and visit Los Angeles, you can also fly into LAX or John Wayne (code SNA).

Our venue is located in Murrieta, CA in a community in the rolling hills West of Highway 15.

Carpooling with fellow guests is encouraged! Once you're registered, Natalia will reach out to you and connect you with other attendees if needed.

Do I need to bring my photo gear?

Photo gear is not needed for any of the programmed sessions, but if you’d like to take some photos on your downtime, you can feel free to bring anything you’d like. The entire property is your playground during your stay!

What if I have dietary restrictions?

We’ll ask you about dietary restrictions when you register so that we can make sure to accommodate. We will cater to any restrictions you have, so rest assured that you'll have plenty of food for your time with us.

Can I get a private room?

We opened up TWO rooms that are available as single rooms. If you want a single room, please select that ticket type during checkout. The two single rooms do share one bathroom.

All other rooms are shared, but that adds to the opportunities to connect with fellow attendees!

Shared rooms will be on a first-come first-served basis, but all rooms are very comfortable and roomy, with either sweeping views or garden access!

What if I need to cancel?

The registration fee is nonrefundable.

However, when you register you will have the option of purchasing cancelation insurance. If you purchase this insurance when signing up, you will get your fee refunded under most circumstances.

We highly encourage you to purchase the insurance in case life throws any curveballs your way.

What if I need special accommodations?

If you have any special needs for your room or access, please contact us. There are select rooms that are wheelchair accessible, and we're happy to do everything possible to accommodate. You can reach us at hello@wearegrovestrong.com

I have more questions!

We are happy to answer them all! Please reach Natalia and our team at hello@wearegrovestrong.com with any and all additional questions.
