2023 Dream & Scheme Retreat for Small Business Owners

An interactive virtual working retreat hosted live on Zoom by artist Kimberly Kuniko for fellow creative small business owners. This 2-day retreat is for carving out some time and space to thoughtfully imagine 2023, discern directions, set intentions and achievable goals that keep our creative dreams in sight and growing, and actually start working towards them in a cozy, group setting.

This year, I'm giving the format a complete refresh with new session themes + a lovely mix of group discussion, reflective solo work, and co-working in good company as we get stuff done with printable materials and linked resources to support our work.

Our retreat is split into 2 half-days with 6 sessions that are a mix of group discussion + active work time for us to get stuff done:

Thursday, Jan. 12 (9:30am-12pm PT)

• 9:30-10am | Reflection // Look back over 2022 to see what worked well, inspired or challenged us, and what we'd like to adjust moving forward.
• 10am-11am | Intention Setting // Discern what we want, need, and don't need- to bring/grow in 2023. Brainstorm avenues and tools to help us to work towards short- and long-term dreams- both for our businesses + as creatives.
• 11am-12pm | Getting Organized // Dig into planning and setting up/implementing systems to support our intentions. A time to focus on planning, calendaring, bookkeeping, or organizing your physical work space and/or digital assets.

Friday, Jan. 13 (9:30am-12pm PT)

• 9:30-10:30am | Income Streams // Evaluate and brainstorm various income streams, time and resource allocation (taking into consideration our time, energies, and personal preferences when it comes to work styles), and develop a vision or focus area for each one.
• 10:30-11:30am | Create & Ideate // Delve into creating, whether it be content, new products/services, branding materials, or website design, getting a chance to implement brainstorms from Day 1.
• 11:30am-12pm | Envision // Conceptualize our year in creative ways to keep us inspired and motivated. We'll consider different methods and have a chance to explore whichever sparks our curiosity (vision boarding, art or bullet journaling, visual list-making, etc), ending our time together with some hands-on creativity.

Your retreat admission includes:
