WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE? WHAT CLOTHES SHOULD I BRING?
Spring weather in Georgia can vary. The days are generally pleasant and in the 60’s, while the nights can be cool and in the 40’s. Layers are best, with sweaters or jackets. Comfortable shoes are recommended. It’s also a good idea to bring an umbrella, sunscreen, and bug repellent “just in case.” Be sure to check the local weather forecast prior to your departure!

Yes. All retreat lodging provides access to free wi-fi. Cell phone reception depends on your service provider, but is generally good.
IS THIS RETREAT JUST FOR WOMEN?
Yes! Women bring and share a unique perspective and energy. You can expect to form lifelong friendships and bonds with other attendees.
DO I HAVE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST TO ATTEND?
Not at all! We welcome women of all skill levels who are ready to learn and create. We will guide you through every step of the process. Magazine collage is a fun and fascinating art form, which can also be very meditative and give you a true sense of accomplishment.
WILL I HAVE ANY FREE TIME TO EXPLORE THE SURROUNDINGS?
Yes! You’ll have blocks of free time set aside each day to enjoy activities of your own choosing such as using the pool and hot tub, hiking, exploring waterfalls, shopping, photography, reading, and napping. Additionally, the retreat activities listed are subject to change due to availability, number of participants, and weather. You are also welcome to continue working on your collages at any time you wish throughout the weekend!

We know life is sometimes unpredictable! You may cancel your reservation up to 45 days prior to the retreat start date and receive a full refund (less $350 non-refundable deposit) provided you notify us in writing. Due to the need to plan ahead and consider every detail, there are no refunds if you cancel within the 45 day window of the retreat start date. If you are unable to attend, we encourage you to find a replacement for your spot. If we have a waiting list, we can assist you in this process. If you find someone to replace you, you will receive a full refund once their payment is made in full and confirmed. In the case of acts of God, war, disaster, or unforeseen circumstances, Tracie Joyner Art reserves the right to cancel the retreat and give registrants the option of receiving a full refund or rescheduling to another retreat date.
