Rod Ebright
Creativity Retreat



Please refer below to last year's for a good idea of what to expect.


The Creativity Retreat at Akita will be relaxed, inspiring, casual, rejuvenating and probably quite unlike anything you've done before. As you'll see in the schedule below, there is time for you to spend on your own or with others as you choose. It's a great opportunity to bring your camera, journal, laptop, drawing pad, or other creative tools and immerse yourself in the spirit of creativity.
