Fall Retreat Information
Location: Marin Art and Garden Center
Date: Thursday, September 17th
Retreat Time: 9:30 AM–2:00 PM
Space is ours until: 3:00 PM!
We have a full afternoon planned, but we intentionally wanted to leave some breathing room in the schedule rather than pack every minute of the day. So if you’re able to stay a little longer, we have the space until 3 PM for hanging out, chatting, connecting, or just enjoying the beautiful surroundings together.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete each step—we’re counting down the days until we’re all together!

GEAR SWAP TABLE
Have gear sitting around that you no longer use? Bring it along!
We’ll have a Gear Swap Table set up throughout the day where you can browse, trade, or pass along some of your photography goodies.
There will be three sections:
🆓 FREE — Gear you're ready to give a new home
🔄 TRADE — Gear you're willing to swap for something else
💰 FOR SALE — Want to make a little money back? Just put a price on your item!
The table will be available to peruse throughout the day, so bring anything that might be useful to another photographer and see what treasures you might find!
