The Struggle is Real Retreat: The Struggle is real for us creatives during this pandemic.

A couple of us artist-facilitator friends put together a retreat program for creatives to help us recharge from the burnout of being in extended crisis mode, and pivot our practice for the uncertain future. We created this retreat because we found coming together to make sense of the crisis and figuring things out really helpful for us but couldn't find anything similar out there. The retreat is a 4-week program that can be taken as either a facilitated experience or a self-paced journey. We intentionally made it to be non-prescriptive and to focus on collective sense-making and creating a conducive space for unpacking difficult questions. The retreat is not free because there are material fees to cover + half the team does not have a day job and can't afford to volunteer 75 hours out of an entire month for free. But we also know that finances are tight for everyone these days. The retreat is subsidized by Our Singapore Fund to help make this as accessible as possible. We want people to walk away with this: - People to Vibe With You are not alone! This isn't a lecture, it's a journey. This retreat isn't about experts throwing solutions at you, but about finding answers alongside other people going through similar struggles. Feel heard; share your experience, knowledge, and challenges and crowdsource ideas and solutions (or give them!) - (Head)Space to Do the Work You want to do the work but it just feels like there's no time and no headspace. We'll hold the space together so you can dive deep to find the answers, directions, and make the plans you need to carry out. JUST DO IT. (Credit: Nike) - Tools for Your Process We can't guarantee that you'll find your way at the end of the retreat. But that's not the point. The point is you now have frameworks that you can reuse over and over again to navigate future changes If you know of any friends who might find this useful, please do share this with them so we can reach out to more creatives! 👤 Designed for but not limited to: performers, theatre practitioners, producers, festival managers, curators, consultants, and art teachers 🗓 DATES 18 September - 23 October / Online Retreat / 4+1 weeks ↔️ EXPERIENCE Choose your own retreat experience: Self-paced or Facilitated 💸PRICES Self-Paced $25, Facilitated (Single) $60, Facilitated (Pair) $48x2 *Student price available 🎟REGISTRATION https://ucu-retreat.peatix.com/ 📌 MORE DETAILS https://bit.ly/UCURetreatProgram
