Women’s Creative Retreat
Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026
10am – 10pm with optional overnight stay
The Women’s Creative Retreat is a small group retreat filled with a variety of experiences to help you refill your creative well, connect with one another, and feel restored. Explore our farm as you take photos with an old Polaroid, paint with watercolors near the pond, collage a journal in an artist studio, swirl an ocean drum in a bell tent, or type a poem on a vintage typewriter – and much more. We’ll share stories and meals together, and cap off the evening with a fall bonfire.
Want to stay the night?
Pitch a tent in our orchard, stay in one of our two tiny houses, or bring a friend or two and camp in our spacious bell tent. Enjoy a farm fresh breakfast together in the morning.
What’s the vibe?
Our motto for this retreat is create – connect – restore. In short, the vibe is a combination of slow, deep breaths with the giddiness of a kid with a new box of crayons.
The creative experiences are a sort of treasure hunt – some we’ll do together, some you’ll explore on your own, and others will encourage you to cross creative paths with one another.
Who is it for?
For women who like to create for the fun of it.
For women who want to connect with others, with nature, or with the side of themselves that often gets lost in the shuffle of day to day life.
For women facing a change in life or their creative work who want a safe space to sort through their thoughts.
For women who crave a restorative experience in a quiet, supportive space.
When is it?
Saturday, September 19th, 2026 from 10am – 10pm with optional overnight camping or rustic lodging options.
Where is it at?
Copper Leaf Studios is located on a private farm in Saybrook, Ohio. It’s 1 mile south of Lake Erie, a beautiful fall drive 1 hour east of Cleveland or 45 mins. west of Erie, PA.
What about meals?
Lunch and dinner are provided (and Sunday’s breakfast, for those who opt to stay overnight). Meals will be fun, farm fresh, and family-style.
We can accommodate most dietary restrictions. Watch your inbox – we’ll email you ahead of time to ask about any personal needs.
