Ethical Photography Workshop

Are you interested in telling wildlife stories through photography? Sign up for this 4-day, all-inclusive workshop where you will learn how to ethically photograph stories of the wild faces and places of Barkley Sound. Establish tangible ways to take photos that leave people and places better than how you found them.

Wild Craft Retreat

Art is more than an expression of who you are, it’s also a profound way to honour where you are. Sign up for this place-based all-inclusive retreat where we use wild materials found amid Kelp Forest Cove to create art and crafts that come from and celebrate these lands. Experiment with sea glass sculptures, wild dyes, pyrography, botanical prints, wreaths, mandalas, kelp basket-making and more.

  • Kelp Forest Cove is an ideal retreat for those wishing to get away and see something different. The tent and pod locations all have wonderful views and it was amazing to wake up right on the water.
