Why We’re Gathering



Today’s creatives are up against a different kind of noise: the hum of Slack notifications, the endless scroll of “inspiration,” the pressure to make everything shareable. Even rest starts to feel performative. Solitude—the real kind—has become harder and harder to access.

This retreat is a deliberate interruption.

Stillness Study invites you to step away from the pace of productivity and re-enter something quieter, deeper, and more sustaining. Through the lens of Georgia O’Keeffe and Agnes Martin—two artists who each chose silence, space, and presence over the clamor of New York—we’ll explore how solitude can sharpen perception, deepen focus, and renew creative practice.

Solitude isn’t absence. It’s how we shape our inner and outer worlds in its presence. Over four days in Taos, we’ll weave together time in nature, guided reflection, and creative exploration to consider solitude as devotion: a practice that clarifies, sustains, and transforms.

This is an intimate, reflective gathering. Days will be spacious but intentional, balancing landscape immersion, group dialogue, and quiet personal time. We’ll close by asking: how can solitude remain with us—not as escape, but as rhythm, as presence, as ongoing practice?



    THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF...

    You crave space—physically, mentally, creatively.

    If the idea of wide-open landscapes, uninterrupted time, and the clarity that comes from solitude excites you, this is your kind of retreat.

    ---

    You find inspiration in the quiet.

    O’Keeffe and Martin built their lives around solitude—not as isolation, but as a way to see, feel, and create more clearly. If you’ve ever dreamed of a life designed around creative focus, you’ll feel at home here.

    ---

    You love a good art history deep dive.

    If you get excited about the way artists structure their lives, how place shapes creative work, or what makes Agnes Martin’s grids so powerful—you’re in the right place.

    ---

    You’re open to seeing what solitude stirs in you.

    This retreat isn’t about forced silence or rigid structure—it’s about stepping away from the noise and tuning into yourself, your thoughts, and what emerges in the space between.

    ---


    You like your conversations deep and your solitude deeper.

    Small talk? Fine, but you’d rather explore big ideas. This retreat offers space for both introspection and meaningful dialogue.

    THIS RETREAT IS NOT FOR YOU IF...

    You deeply dread intimate group time.

    If the idea of connecting with a small, intentional community makes you cringe, this might not be the right space for you.

    ---

    You are allergic to quiet and boredom.

    Stillness and quiet reflection are part of the journey here.

    ---

    You can’t fully break from your 9–5.

    This retreat invites you to unplug and be present. Make that PTO official.

    ---

    You crave a robe and room service.

    This isn’t a luxury spa vacation—it’s meaningful, creative exploration with a touch of adventure.

    ---

    You rather be posting on main.

    While we won’t take your phone away, this retreat is about dialing down device usage and immersing yourself in the present.
