Your experience begins at base camp at Wilderness Trails Outfitters, where everyone will arrive, settle in, and get oriented to camp and checked into their accommodations.

Participants will travel by horseback to scenic overlooks, spend unhurried hours working from life in beautiful settings, and return to camp for shared meals and relaxed conversation. The weekend also includes a guided van tour led by Teton Wilderness Tours, offering additional time to explore and experience the surrounding area.

Throughout the retreat, time in the landscape and creative focus are central. Each day offers dedicated time in the field with opportunity to paint the scenery and horses. The retreat is led by Wyoming artist and horsewoman Kathy Wipfler, with support from experienced wranglers and naturalists. Kathy is present throughout the weekend, offering insight, individual feedback, and encouragement in a small group setting.
