Event Overview

Lillstreet's one-day retreats offer you the chance to relax and renew as you immerse yourself in the creative process. Each retreat is a unique combination of a 75-minute yoga class (for all levels), healthy catered lunch and three-hours of hands-on visual art instruction.

You'll discover the secrets to professional quality photos and learn how to make your next adventure look amazing through the art of travel photography. This full-day retreat includes hands-on instruction, a guided tour and photo shoot opportunity in Lincoln Square.

At the retreat you will: see familiar situations from new perspectives, observe your surroundings, learn photo skills to make your trips look amazing, learn to see compositions, find great light, get familiar with your camera and your eye, learn how to approach strangers to ask if you can make a portrait of them and be inventive!

A delicious catered lunch from Real Kitchen is included in the price and yoga mats are available for your use. Yoga class will be taught by Bloom Yoga© instructors in a hatha/gentle vinyasa style with appropriate modifications offered for students of all levels. Class will focus on connecting breath and movement in a conscious way to prime the body and mind for a creative afternoon.
