WHAT SUPPLIES DO I NEED?

If you are a creative professional working independently on your own projects, you may arrive with or ship supplies to the location before the trip. If you are participating in the workshops and group learning exercises, we will send you a detailed list of what to bring and how to pack your supplies before your departure. You may pack or ship supplies to the location.

DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance. Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement for your trip costs; if your trip plans change for unforeseeable reasons or if you need medical help, emergency transport, and for theft, loss, or damage of items while traveling. For best coverage, always insure the full trip cost within two weeks of your initial trip payment, and note that most ‘Cancel For Any Reason’ policies must be purchased on the date of your initial deposit.
