Escape the Grind, Embrace Creativity

MEET ZOF RETREATS

Our creative retreats are NOT just for creatives, but for people like you. Yes, you the one who works in IT, Finance & Banking, Audit, Business Management, Accounting, etc. Seriously, it's time to explore a world of possibilities outside your daily job.

Creative retreats are the perfect getaway to channel your energies into inspiration in times when our life is full of physical and psychological restrictions. We all end up a little creatively blocked from time to time whether it’s with a hobby or a full-time career. Spending some time away in a supportive community can be just the ticket to unlocking endless imagination.

Retreats are a great opportunity to relax and ease your mind. Let's be honest, we're in love with our careers but taking some time away from the daily pressures of meeting client needs and running our business never feels right. Overworking and burnout are real issues that we need to address. It's your turn to prioritize yourself and celebrate life like you mean it.

BE A PART OF A CREATIVE COMMUNITY

Retreats are a great way of networking and connecting with like-minded people (and perhaps we need that now more than ever). Our creative retreats are truly unique because of the possibility to make lifelong friendships built on the same values and interests.

DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT

Time out allows for breathing space, creative exploration, daydreaming, experimentation, and the opportunity to tune into and listen to yourself away from the noise of everyday life.

We would like to invite you to a creative retreat like no other seen so far in Romania.
