A 14-Acre Retreat Designed to Nurture Creativity
Come Be Inspired
Willow Pond SLO is a beautiful 14-acre property at the south end of Edna Valley,
bordering San Luis Obispo and Arroyo Grande, California.
Surrounded by vineyard views and cooled by the marine layer from the Pacific ocean, our vision is to
nurture creativity across multiple disciplines, ignited by the artistic energy of this unique escape.
We host immersive, creative workshop retreats that inspire and connect creatives with like-minded people,
while enjoying local farm-to-table cuisine catered on-site.
Sound on to enjoy the birdsongs from Willow Pond:
Artist Workshops
Enjoy and benefit from the exchange of ideas and real-time dialogue with people in similar fields. We host workshops across multiple disciplines, including: Fiber Arts to Plein Air painting, life drawing to abstraction, writing workshops with published authors to mixed media photography; yoga to mindfulness and personal development; and beyond.
THE EXPERIENCE
We host sustainably catered live-in workshop retreats across all disciplines, bringing people together to foster dialogue and learning, stimulate creativity, and build community networks.
Willow Pond works with a selection of local chefs, bringing a different food experience to each retreat. We are fortunate here on the Central Coast to have access to fresh seafood direct from the harbor and also to so many local farms.
San Luis Obispo is known for it’s Thursday Farmers Market where local farmers display their home grown fruits and vegetables and is a huge resource for our caterers.
