2026 & 2027 Creative Retreats

 

Land & Light: Kenya | A Creative Safari with Katie Rodgers & Todd Ritondaro June 20 - 28, 2027

Join artist Katie Rodgers and photographer Todd Ritondaro for an 8-night safari private retreat. This intimate safari retreat in Northern Kenya is for artists and photographers. Poets and adventurers. An exploration of inner and outer landscapes. An invitation to slow down, to get back to nature, to heighten your senses and reconnect you back to your essence.

Our days will unfold in rhythm with the land, shaped by epic landscapes and intimate wildlife sightings in the bush. Creative sessions and visual conversations will be offered organically - allowing space for photography, art, and ideas to evolve naturally. We’ll weave in plenty of unstructured time, alongside conversation over delicious meals, sundowners, and fireside chats under the stars. Limited to 9 guests. Learn more & sign up here.

Ranchlands: Capturing the Western Landscape with Katie Rodgers | September 27 - October 2, 2026

Join artist Katie Rodgers for a five-night creative retreat at the Paintrock Canyon Ranch. Learn the art of seeing and translating your vision to paper while surrounded by dramatic western landscapes. Host Katie Rodgers will lead sessions exploring composition, color theory, and creativity, to help you connect to your own creative process. 

Find inspiration each day through exploring the rolling meadows, streams, and carved valleys of the Paintrock Canyon Ranch while on horseback. Unpack your art supplies while enjoying lunch out in the field, surrounded by the natural world and ancient petroglyphs and pictographs. Each session will encourage you to articulate your vision through your preferred artistic medium. Leave the workshop with new techniques for capturing dynamic landscapes, a greater understanding of your own creativity, and feel empowered to explore your artistic vision. 

All levels of riders and artists are welcome, 21 years and older.
