SCRAP OF YOUR LIFE

CRAFTING RETREATS: A PERFECT WAY TO
RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF AND YOUR PASSIONS

When you connect with other creatives at our retreats you will find the joy of being creative. Find inspiration and flourish in a wonderful creative space. Share the mindset that anything is possible!



We can all find immense solace and strength within our crafting community. Through workshops, crafting retreats, or online communities, creatives discover kindred spirits who share their triumphs, setbacks, and creative breakthroughs. The connections formed through sharing our projects and artistic pursuits extend beyond our crafting tables and provide a safe space to share our stories, personal struggles, and triumphs. Be it emotional support, or simply a listening ear, these networks become precious, leading to lifelong friendships that stand the test of time.

Craftopia Retreat August 2025
What a wonderful retreat at Kiah Ridge. Thank you, Julie, for the lovely environment you foster - friendship and fun. I loved the challenges and am thankful that you chose an ‘in it to win with a chance’ style of winning rather than making it about competing against others. Looking forward to the next retreat!
