The Handcrafted Life Retreat
A 4-day, 3-night retreat inviting you to slow down, reconnect with your creative nature, and explore what it means to consciously participate in the life you're creating.
April 29 - May 2, 2027 | Chattaroy, WA
What if you began to see your life as something you're actively creating, rather than something that's simply happening to you?
A handcrafted life isn't mass-produced. It doesn't have to follow someone else's template or expectations. And it certainly doesn't mean having control over everything that comes our way.
Life will surprise us, challenge us, and sometimes take us in directions we never imagined. But even when we can't choose what happens, we can explore how we respond, what we give our energy and attention to, and what we create with what's in front of us.
It's personal. Imperfect. Ever-evolving. And most importantly, it requires our participation.

Your Home Away From Home
Tucked among 18 acres of peaceful woodland, our retreat home offers a cozy, welcoming space to slow down, settle in, and enjoy a few days away from the demands of everyday life.
With comfortable bedrooms, inviting shared spaces, and a dedicated studio for our creative workshops and gatherings, there's room to come together and plenty of space to enjoy a little solitude.
Step outside to wander through the trees, breathe in the fresh air, or gather around the outdoor fire pit. Inside, find a cozy corner to read, journal, enjoy a conversation, or simply do nothing at all. (Highly encouraged, by the way.)
Your Accommodations
Each guest will enjoy a private bedroom with a queen-size bed, offering a comfortable place to retreat to at the end of the day. Bathrooms are shared among retreat guests, and some bedrooms require navigating stairs.
For friends attending together, a limited number of shared-room arrangements may be available upon request.
All accommodations are included for three nights, giving you plenty of time to settle in, make yourself at home, and enjoy the experience without rushing.
This is your space for the weekend. Unpack your bag, get comfortable, and make yourself at home.
