🌿✨ Permaculture Pinup Retreat Recap ✨🌿
Our first Permaculture Pinup Retreat was a mini success, made all the sweeter by the beautiful messages we received afterward. Rather than launching with a large audience, we intentionally chose a small, intimate gathering. We wanted to learn what the experience felt like, what flowed naturally, and how best to blend education, creativity, and community.

With a full group for our pilot, we discovered that three hours is enough to spark curiosity, but not enough to fully sink into the experience. Going forward, our retreats will likely evolve into a more immersive weekend format, with approximately six-hour days and the flexibility for participants to join one day, both days, or select individual activities.
During this first gathering, we introduced our community models to the foundations of permaculture, including its origin story, ethics, principles, and applications beyond gardening alone. We shared a bit of our own journey and even touched on the inspiration behind our Rebrand Bikini campaign, exploring how beauty and culture can be redirected toward regeneration and ecological stewardship.
From there, we wandered into the food forest for a blend of education and entertainment, learning through observation, conversation, and photography. Participants enjoyed food and beverages grown at Green Wave House while exploring the basics of home medicine making and the many ways plants can support both people and ecosystems.
Most importantly, we spent an afternoon cultivating connection: with the land, with each other, and with the idea that caring for the Earth can be joyful, creative, beautiful, and fun.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this first experiment. We learned a great deal, and we’re excited to continue growing the experience together.
Hosted at Green Wave House (located within the artist and intentional community of Rancho Delicioso - home of "Awaken").
