Erica Aeby's Art Church | June 11-14th, 2026

  • Live Workshop

My Dear Friends!

I’ve been retreating to the lovely Huntermoon Homestead in rural Idaho the past few years for what I affectionately call “art camp” workshops. It’s a magical creative oasis, one of my favorite places/experiences, and I want to share it with you! I’m collaborating with hosts Kate/Jessie/Rick Poole to create a unique-to-us 4-day retreat with a special difference from their typical programs: we have the opportunity to build and share our own projects, with "expert guided instruction" by us!

Art Church is a regularly hosted Sunday open studio at The Bee House during off-season, and I came home so inspired from this recently that I asked if it would be possible to extend Art Church into a full retreat experience with YOU!, my favorite creatives. Collectively we have more skills/knowledges to share than could fit into a weekend. You could choose to be an instructor, learning participant, or simply do your own thing amongst community! Not all of us practice fine art; some of us teach yoga, spiritual wellnesses, crafts, cooking, journaling – and that all counts!

WHAT IS INCLUDED
  • Two full days of art-making and sharing in the Bee House Studio, with free time to explore and be inspired in nature
  • A materials list will be sent prior if any joiners plan to teach/share
  • Gourmet farm-to-table meals throughout our stay, incorporating seasonal, organic produce grown on site
  • Rustic luxury accommodations for 3 nights
  • A welcome cocktail party
  • Evening camp fires
