By expanding each artist’s breadth and de pth of talent, the retreat refreshes the creative mind. It’s all about the process. T hrough hands-on work in various mediums guided by talented craftsmen, we find inspiration and nurture our selves. Exercising our minds to think in unique ways builds confidence and cre ativity in our existing work and businesses and is the only way leader s in the wedding industr y build on their successes and continue to command their places at the top. We hope to lear n and g row as a g roup to better under stand our place as artists in a competitive and g rowing market and to build a community of like-minded individuals who share the same drive to succeed. Spend three days in outside Paris, France, practicing the art of photog raphy, f loral design, and styling with passionate and enthusiastic artists Jen Huang, Kurt Boomer, Ginny Au and Amy Mer rick. Jen and Kurt will be leading four exquisite shoots styled on site. Also, explore the beauty sur rounding the French countr yside and enjoy delicious picnic meals with fellow attendees and speaker s. Most importantly, remember that a holiday isn’t a “vacation.” Rather it is a time we set aside to seek tranquility and truth, a time to find ourselves and our paths. T he artist holiday is about making a choice in your business to imp rove and refine your life’s work. INVESTMENT W hat is Included?
