Our Substack—a digital taste of our monthly print publication helping you disconnect to reconnect 🗞️💌 Inspiration for the visionaries, creatives, and romantics.
What is The Retreat?
The Retreat is a monthly print newspaper helping you disconnect from your devices and reconnect with yourself, your purpose, and your creativity.
Think of it as an offline ritual for the visionaries, creatives, and romantics. Think of it as mail you’ll run to your mailbox for. Think of it as an opportunity to lock your phone away and lock into the power and nostalgia of holding stories in your hands.
Founded by me (Carley) in 2022 after reading a page out of my husbands Sunday paper and thinking what a fucking snooze. So, I dreamt up and created a new print publication with an old school feel featuring interviews, essays, practices, prompts, games and more that I actually wanted to read.
2 years, 24 issues, 50+ interviews, 19 countries, 7 columnists, a pen pal community, 1 stellar editor-in-chief later and I give you The Retreat as we know it. What started as a lil print publication tuned into a global community of creatives, seekers, dreamers, and doers all sticking it to the i-phone man. Not now stupid technology, I’m reading.
I love this being on this corner of the internet, but I love being on your coffee table more.
