Through connection, creativity, and shared experience, we nurture our growth, expand our visions, and weave meaningful bonds. All within this deeply magical and timeless corner of the world.

You'll fly into Arequipa (AQP) to begin the retreat on November 22nd, and fly out of Puno/Juliaca (JUL) at the end on November 30th. We recommend arriving into Arequipa a day or two early if you can — it's a beautiful city worth exploring before we begin.

Your camera, lenses, SD cards and card readers are the essentials. If you shoot film, bring your rolls. Beyond your gear — a warm jacket (the Andes gets cold, especially at altitude), ceremony clothes, your favourite outfits, yoga clothes, a bathing suit, hats and SPF. Pack a journal, a book for downtime, and don't forget converters. We strongly recommend both travel and medical insurance given the altitude in Peru, and an eSIM for data (Airalo and Holafly both work well there).
-
All levels are welcome — genuinely. Whether you've never picked up a camera or you're shooting full time, there is something here for you. We've always found that people learn so much from each other in this environment, and that mix of experience levels is actually one of the most beautiful parts of the retreat. You'll find your place here.
-
Absolutely. You're welcome to bring a friend, but so many of our guests come solo and leave with connections that last long beyond the retreat. That's one of the things we hear most - that the friendships made here are unlike any others. Come alone and leave with sisters.
-
Yes! We often welcome models as guests of the retreat. Some are also photographers and use this as an opportunity to create, be in front of and behind the lens, and expand their portfolios in a completely different way. If this sounds like you, reach out and let's chat about what the retreat could look like for you.
-
Yes! We know that investing in yourself can feel scary - and we want to support that journey, not add stress to it. Reach out to us directly and we'll work out a payment plan that suits you. We're here to make it happen.
-
More than you can imagine going in. On the practical side, you'll leave with an expanded portfolio - lots of curated shoots mean you could build an entirely new body of work in just eight days. You'll may learn new skills, and have. afresh perspective on your craft and where you want your journey to go.
The deeper takeaways are what people talk about most. You'll leave feeling more connected to yourself, your creative purpose, and a community of women who genuinely show up for each other. The breathwork and ceremonies have a way of shifting things that are hard to put into words - past guests describe feeling lighter, clearer, more aligned with who they are and what they want to create.
You come for the photography. You leave changed.
