We want every session to be engaging, hands-on, and actionable so attendees can immediately apply what they’ve learned.

Your presentation should guide participants through a creative experience, not just provide information.

👉 Share One Highly Actionable Strategy or Experience

✔ Be Specific: Focus on one clear, hands-on activity that aligns with our retreat theme.

✔ Avoid Broad Overviews: Instead of “How to use creativity for self-care,” try something like…

• “How to use movement to shift your mood in five minutes.”

• “How to create an intuitive art piece based on your emotions.”

• “How to use journaling prompts to process the end of a season.”

• “How to use sound and silence to boost creative flow.”

🚨Teach, Don’t Pitch: This is NOT a sales webinar. Your session should be experience-driven and instructional—helping attendees take action right away.

👉 Keep Your Presentation Concise and Impactful

• Session Length: 45 minutes max. We encourage sessions that are short, focused, and immersive.

• Format Options:

• Pre-Recorded Video – Record your session at your convenience.

• Guided Activity – Walk attendees through an interactive creative exercise.

• Step-by-Step Tutorial – Show a process in real time that they can follow along with.

👉 Include a Clear & Concise Call to Action

• Free Resource or Lead Magnet: You can share one freebie (workbook, guide, template, etc.) that helps attendees take the next step. This should be a natural extension of your session, not a sales pitch.

We will link to your free resource so attendees can connect with you after the retreat!

• Call to Action: End with a simple next step that attendees can take based on what they learned.

Example:

- “Try this movement exercise daily for a week and reflect on the shifts you notice.”

- “Download the journaling guide to continue this reflection practice.”

- “Use this color palette prompt to explore your emotions in your next art session.”

❌ What’s Not Allowed?

• No Pitches or Sales Presentations – We want attendees to enjoy the experience without feeling like they’re in a sales funnel.

•  No Long-Winded Lectures – Sessions should be interactive and experience-driven rather than passive learning.

We will have live panel sessions as part of our retreat (hosted by Steph Blake) with a small group of other guests.

Each panel will be about 30-45 minutes long, and each person will answer a few guided questions related to the theme they're selected for.

👉 These panels will be offered exclusively to All Access Pass members and will feature real, honest conversations.

You don’t need a big platform, coaching background, or years of experience — just something meaningful to say.

This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow creatives, be seen as a thought leader, and contribute to a powerful, uplifting experience for our community.

💡 If you're interested in joining a live panel, we will collect this information in your application at each event.
