Ever dreamed of attending—or running—your own art retreat?
In this episode, Ros interviews Laura as she pulls back the curtain on what it truly takes to bring a creative retreat to life. What began as a long-held dream was reignited during a deeply restorative trip to Hoi An, and the inspiration never left. There was something about the town’s magic, the peaceful energy of the villa, the beautiful people, coupled with Laura’s deep desire to create space for transformation through art that just kept calling her back. Laura shares how that vision unfolded into her first international retreat and what made the experience so powerful.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- What inspired the retreat (and how it came together)
- The biggest fears attendees faced—and how saying YES changed everything
- Real feedback from participants: “Nourishing, joyful, empowering”
- Why creative retreats are more than a getaway—they’re a reset for your soul and your art
Whether you're craving connection, dreaming of leading your own retreat, or just curious about the process, this episode will leave you inspired to follow your creative pull.
