Georgia's best small town 2023, Southern Living

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Dahlonega offers an authentic, mountain getaway only an hour north of Atlanta.

Of course not. We encourage participation as we've put a lot of thought into the activities and experiences planned. But, for example, if you'd prefer to have lunch elsewhere than what's planned, you're welcome to stray from the group agenda and we hope to see you at the following group activity. Activities and meals outside of the agenda will be at your expense.

What are the cabin accommodations?

Each individual who purchases a spot will be reserved an individual room at the River House Arts—first come, first served. There are five rooms at the River House Arts—three rooms with one king bed, and two rooms with two queen beds. Each room can hold up to two people. At the time of confirmation, we'll ask your preference on room (first come, first served) and if you'll be traveling alone or with someone for either a private room or shared room cost.

What is the deadline to purchase a spot?

All spots must be purchased by September 20. However, there is a 10-person limit and this opportunity is first come, first served. So we'd encourage you not to wait long if you're wanting to join!

Are there at least some vegetarian options for lunch & dinner?

Yes, prior to the trip, we will send out a questionnaire to learn about all dietary needs. Three meals per day will be provided.

I'm more of an introverted creative, so would this trip still be for someone like me?

We'd love for everyone to be comfortable and to only take on what they're comfortable with. The goal is truly connection and to discover something creatively about yourself through painting exercises and creative discussions. I don't want anyone to feel like they're put on the spot. So, please feel free to participate in what makes you feel most comfortable.

Where should I fly into?

Your flight should be scheduled into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Two shuttle times will be provided on arrival day to transport you from the airport to the retreat's River House Arts. Please do your best to arrive Thursday, October 24, mid morning to mid afternoon to accommodate the welcome dinner start time at 6pm.

A more detailed itinerary will be provided to you prior to the trip
