Time To Apply Is Almost Up

Six months from now, you'll either remember this as the trip you took or the one you almost did.

This August a small group of creators will be waking up together in Crete, sharing breakfast before workshops, spending afternoons creating under the Mediterranean sun, and ending each day around a dinner table full of conversations that rarely happen through a screen. Right now, there's still time to be part of that group, but not for much longer.

Applications for our Creative Retreat in Crete close on July 22, which means there's less than a week left to apply. From August 31 through September 3, we'll be bringing together creators from different backgrounds, industries, and creative paths for four days designed to help you step away from the constant pressure to keep producing and spend time focusing on your ideas, your goals, and the people around you.

Every Shams Club retreat becomes its own story because every group brings something different. What stays the same is what people leave with: new collaborators,fresh perspective and a stronger sense of direction. Friendships that continue long after everyone has gone home. The workshops are only one part of the experience. Some of the most memorable moments happen over a shared meal, during a late night conversation by the pool, or while exploring somewhere new together.

Over the past few weeks, we've been sharing more of what this retreat will look like, from the villa we'll be calling home to moments from our previous retreats. If you've been following along and wondering what it's actually like to join a Shams Club retreat, we hope these videos give you a glimpse into the experience we've been building.

Take a look below, imagine yourself there, and see what we're so excited to share.

If this retreat has been sitting in the back of your mind, consider this your nudge. We intentionally keep these groups small because that's what allows real conversations, meaningful feedback, and genuine connections to happen. Once applications close, we'll begin putting this group together.

If Crete has been calling your name, we'd love to read your application.

Apply by July 22.
