SPRING RETREAT |  May 16-21, 2025

Santa Fe, NM

The Lincoln City Fellowship spring retreat is uniquely designed for artists craving time and space to slow down, play, create, and connect deeply with nature.

Each day begins with an immersion of writing and story-sharing exercises to stretch your imaginative muscles, followed by afternoon creative workshops facilitated by local artists, guides, and horses. In between, there will be plenty of time for hiking, soaking in the cedar hot tub, nourishing communal meals and solitude.

The week culminates in a regional gathering and celebration, connecting the group with the larger Lincoln City Fellowship artist community and friends of Speranza. 

Details

This retreat is hosted at Rancho Gallina in collaboration with the Nomadic School of Wonder.

All expenses, including meals, programming, and accommodations are included. In addition, financial assistance up to $1500 is available per artist to support the travel and ability to participate in the program. 

Due to the intimate nature of this retreat, capacity is limited to 6 artists.

Selection is guided by a discerning committee of creative advisors and prioritizes artists who demonstrate the four qualities of a Lincoln city Fellow.

Commitment

To enhance the retreat experience, artists will participate in six weekly, one-hour virtual sessions leading up to arrival in Santa Fe. These preparatory meetings will foster connections and lay the groundwork for a meaningful and enriching gathering.

New and returning artist applications open January 6, 2024
