GUEST PHOTOGRAPHERS

WE LOVE THE WAY YOU CREATE

At Nurture, we intentionally partner with people whose unique expression of creative talent influences, inspires and informs their life: as a business owner and in their own personal and professional development. We’re inspired by YOU, your photography, and the way you see the world and would love to consider you for our team!

HOW WE RETREAT.

Nurture is magic. The community that is built through the friendships forged over this soulful weekend of creativity, sensuality, good food and warm togetherness is potent. Nurture inspires a delicious ripple effect beyond any networking opportunity we’ve found out there. It’s also literally delicious, as shared decadent harvest table meals provide the foundation for our connection.

One of our team member alumni put it this way: “I think what stands out about being on the Nurture team is the bonds you form – for sure with the attendees, but so strongly with the other team members: you get a deep sense of shared fate. It feels fated that you meet and connect and grow together personally and professionally once the retreat is over.” Each Nurture Team cohort is specially curated to encourage connection and cross-pollination of your unique blend of talents and personalities. We think you’d flourish here!

WHAT YOU PROVIDE

Attendance at our (mandatory) Team Meeting held virtually via Zoom, exactly one month prior to the retreat date.
Documentation of the retreat via photo or video according to your own inspiration (a small number of specific shots may be requested and agreed upon in advance with the Retreat Founder, ie: shots of sponsored products in context of retreat – you will receive a Nurture Retreat Photographer Guide PDF)
Help setting up the retreat space to make it cozy and resetting the space before we leave. It’s fun, it’s creative, collaborative, and abundant with good vibes.

"You'll be immersed in a warm community, forging connections through shared vulnerability, stories, and experiences."

A blissful weekend retreat nestled by a tranquil lake, where creativity flourishes in inspiring and accessible workshops lead by talented individuals. As the sun casts its magical light, indulge in delectable, inspired cuisine that nourishes both body and soul. The setting, breathtakingly gorgeous, encourages introspection and grounding experiences. It’s a holistic escape, where each moment invites you to explore your creativity, deepen connections, allow yourself to breathe, and savor the enchantment of a weekend devoted to self-discovery and rejuvenation.

"As soon as I came across the Nurture Retreat website, I knew I had to attend!"

Everything spoke directly to my soul, the heart-filled descriptions of the workshops, the gorgeous imagery captured from the retreat before, and most importantly the deep act of nourishing woven into every part of the weekend. It was an absolute dream. The space that Sonja has created is truly special and healing down to the bones. I was so honoured to be a part of the magic she has created. And would recommend this weekend to anyone in need of a nurturing space for their mind, body and soul to be deeply cared for and to learn what it means to truly care for oneself (all while eating DELICIOUS food, and playing creatively all weekend long!).
