REDISCOVER YOUR CREATIVITY AT THE REIGNITE RETREAT

November 8-11, 2026

Brown County Barn Burner | Nashville, Indiana

Feeling creatively stuck or simply craving a break from the daily grind? The REIGNITE Retreat is your chance to recharge, explore, and reconnect with the joy of making.

For four days, you’ll immerse yourself in a beautiful, inspiring setting – all while you spend time creating, experimenting, and surrounding yourself with like-minded women. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or haven’t picked up a paintbrush in decades, you’ll feel at home here.

You don’t have to come with ideas, skills, or a plan, just curiosity and a willingness to play.

What’s Included?

Every detail is thoughtfully handled so you can simply show up and create.

  • 3 nights at the Brown County Barn Burner (private or shared rooms available)
  • All meals from Sunday dinner to Wednesday breakfast.
  • Hands-on creative workshops with expert artists and instructors (full lineup announced closer to the retreat)
  • Wellness experiences like optional yoga, nature walks, and guided creative reflection
  • All materials and supplies – just bring yourself!
  • Transportation within Brown County during the retreat.

A quick note on the rooms: Your bedroom is yours, or shared with the person you signed up with. Beyond that, the units at the Barn Burner have shared spaces: kitchen, dining and living areas, and bathrooms. I assign units myself and I think hard about who goes where. This is the piece people are most unsure about going in, but it’s also part of the experience that turns strangers into the people you’re still texting after you drive home.

Why Choose REIGNITE?

You deserve a space where creativity is about expression, not perfection. The REIGNITE Retreat is intentionally designed to help you reconnect with your artistic spirit while fostering rest, inspiration, and connection.

  • A Creative Reset – Step away from daily stress & immerse yourself in making.
  • Hands-On Exploration – Try new mediums without pressure or judgment.
  • Meaningful Connections – Meet and create alongside supportive, like-minded women.
  • Incredible Food – From cozy breakfasts to gourmet meals, the food is as much a part of the experience as the art.
  • Relax & Recharge – Optional yoga, walks in nature, and space to recharge.

What the Four Days Look Like

Workshops rotate every retreat. The shape of the days does not. Here is how it actually runs:

  • Playful Warm-Up Sessions to loosen up your creativity
  • Hands-On Art Workshops in mediums like floral design, mixed media, and other unique techniques to get you out of your creative comfort zone.
  • Wellness & Reflection Time to ground yourself and soak up the peaceful setting
  • Special Evening Experiences such as a rooftop tasting dinner, mixology class, or candle-making

You’ll leave with handmade pieces, a renewed sense of self, and lasting connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will the retreat be held?

The retreat takes place at Brown County Barn Burner in Nashville, Indiana—a cozy, artistic space that fosters both creativity and relaxation.

Do I need to be an artist to attend?

Not at all! The REIGNITE Retreat is designed for women of all creative backgrounds—whether you’re an experienced artist or just looking to explore your creativity.

What’s included in the cost?

All lodging, meals, workshops, and materials are included. The only thing you need to arrange is transportation to Nashville, Indiana!

Can I come alone?

Of course! We’ve had many attendees join solo and leave with amazing new connections.  We’ve also had attendees join with a friend, mother-daughter pairs, and more. 

What is the difference between a private room and a shared room?

A private room means the bedroom is yours alone. A shared room means you and one other person share a bedroom, and shared rooms are only available to people who sign up together. I do not put strangers in a room together. In both cases you will share a kitchen, living area, and dining area with a few other attendees, and I assign the units myself.

How are rooms assigned?

I assign every room and unit personally, in sign-up order. I think carefully about who is grouped with whom. It is one of the parts of hosting I take most seriously.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

No problem! We work with local chefs who can accommodate most dietary needs. Just let us know your preferences when you sign up.

Is this Refundable?

All bookings are final and non-refundable, unless there’s another person we can transfer your spot to. If another person pays and fills your spot, I’ll refund what you paid minus a 10% cancellation fee.

Full terms and conditions here.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. You can pay in full, or hold your spot with a $500 deposit and pay the balance one month later. Payment-plan pricing is $150 higher than paying in full.
