You don’t need any prior experience and we’ll teach you with the gear you already have, so you can start taking pictures that you’re dying to show off!

What is the difference between a Signature Retreat, an Advanced Mastermind Retreat, and a Photography & Content Creation Tour?
Our Signature Retreats are designed for women creatives, entrepreneurs, small business owners, and bloggers looking to learn the skills and strategies needed to succeed in the digital world. During our 7-day retreats, we run workshops on topics like; personal branding, building a community online, social media growth, passive & active income strategies and more. We also teach photography 101 and Lightroom editing 101 – these are basic courses that teach how to use your camera in manual, and basic editing techniques to improve your photos.
Our Advanced Mastermind Retreats are designed for the blogger, influencer, or entrepreneur that already has a foundation in blogging, social media, and SEO, and is ready to take their blog or brand to the next level and learn advanced skills in earning money online. If you’ve put in the time and effort and are ready to reap the benefits through affiliate programs, advanced SEO tricks and using Tailwind to skyrocket traffic…You’re in the right place!
Our Photography & Content Creation Tours are specifically designed for women creatives looking to practice their photography skills and create amazing content in a bucket-list destination alongside likeminded women. We’ll be practicing, learning, and creating on location together as there’s nothing like learning by doing! We will focus on practicing photography throughout this 9-day adventure and collaborating with one another. So let’s do this! Join us on an adventure of a lifetime and create photos so beautiful that will make you excited to go home and redecorate your walls with all the beautiful photos you took!
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes! We can accommodate most diets, allergies and dietary restrictions, just make sure to let us know. We work hard to serve very healthy, clean and local produce while on the retreat. The food served is predominantly plant based but if you require a protein heavy diet we are usually able to accommodate. Prior to the retreat we will have you fill out a “Pre-Arrival Form” where you can indicate your specific needs.
What do I need to bring?
- An open mind, positive attitude, and an eagerness to learn!
- Camera and any other equipment you’d like to use – this is a photography focused retreat, so make sure to bring all the gear you want to learn how to use better!

- A pen (to take notes during the workshops)
- Sunscreen
- Bug spray
- Sneakers for any walking/hikes we may be doing

What is the average group size?
This retreat can accommodate 16 women, including 2-4 retreat hosts.
What is the group age range?
We welcome women of all ages 18+ to join us on the retreats and have had women in their early twenties to late forties. We believe that age is but a number and you can learn and go after your dreams no matter what age or stage of life you are in.
Do I need a visa for India?
YES! A visa is required to visit India and is your responsibility to obtain it! Make sure to check your government website for specific details and instructions.
What does the rooming situation look like?
Double occupancy (shared) in many cases you will be sharing a Queen or King size bed. This may not be something you’re used to, but it’s incredible how fast we all bond on our Retreats! By the end of the trip, you’ll be leaving with a group of new friends, trust us!
What does a day on the Photography & Content Creation Tour look like?
On this exploratory Photography & Content Creation Tour, our mornings will start with intention setting & gratitude followed by a group breakfast. Each day, we will head out to explore and finish off the day with a group dinner. Please reference the “Sample Itinerary” for an idea of what the Tour will look like! You will see that this specialty Photography & Content Creation Tour has a heavy focus on exploring and practicing photography in real-life travel settings!
When should I aim to arrive and depart for a retreat?
We ask that you aim to be at the retreat property on day 1 anytime before 4pm, if possible. Before the retreat, we’ll make sure to get your arrival time from you so we know when to expect everyone.
We have found that it is always better to give yourself extra time on the last day instead of rushing to the airport! We recommend trying to find a flight mid to late afternoon or even the evening, if possible.
What method of payment is available?
We use a secure booking platform called WeTravel to process all of our bookings. Through this booking platform you can use a credit card to book and for US citizens, you can arrange a bank transfer to avoid fees. At this time, we are only accepting payment through this platform. You can also choose to add-on one way or roundtrip airport transfers and add-on activities.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! We offer 3, 6, and 12-month payment plans. Only a $650 USD deposit is due upon booking and then we can create the payment plan for you. (Please note that your balance must be paid off one month prior to the retreat start date)
