983 Studio
Make room to rest and create
Art, conversation and a little breathing room set the tone at 983 Studio, where women are invited to rest, create and play together. Rather than a fixed meditation program, its retreats and private experiences center on creative activity and connection. The next retreat is planned for The Center for Craft, giving the gathering a dedicated place to make things and spend time in company. Food is part of the social rhythm: the retreat begins with a welcome dinner and drinks, with breakfast and lunch each day, a Saturday group dinner, and Sunday brunch. Coffee and tea, a café and free parking are among the listed amenities, along with air conditioning in rooms. The cost model is by donation, so confirm the arrangements for the particular gathering before you go. With its emphasis on women’s creative community, this is a social retreat setting rather than a silent meditation intensive.
