A Position on Retreat

A Position on Retreat isn’t just about stepping back; it’s about taking a stance to retreat with purpose. Just as we take positions in life—whether political, social, or personal—there is a time to take a conscious position to pause and withdraw. This residency invites you to reconnect with yourself and your craft by immersing in the tranquil beauty of Vancouver Island’s temperate rainforest, a landscape as inspiring as it is unique. Create, reflect, and connect in one of Canada’s most beautiful natural settings. Your stay includes a cozy home base equipped with both traditional and digital studio spaces, with the serene Lake Cowichan and its lush surroundings as your canvas.
