For the past several years, we’ve gathered twice a year at the cottages with entrepreneurs, shop owners, photographers, florists, calligraphers, designers, and more for our Business, Branding & Social Media Workshop. We’ve seen strangers become friends (and even business partners!) and witnessed the spark of creativity unfold over the course of just one day. Our attendees always leave feeling inspired and motivated to put their learnings to use in their own businesses, with notebooks full of inspiration.
