Vineyard Arts Project is an incubator for the creation of new work in dance & theatre. An artist residency located on the beautiful island of Martha’s Vineyard, Vineyard Arts Project provides visiting artists with the necessary time & rehearsal space, allowing them to focus solely on the development of their new work. 

We're staying at The House on Upper Main, located at 215 Upper Main Street, Edgartown, MA 02539

This is for the woman who...

• Feels a shift stirring within her and knows something is ready to change.
• Is standing at a crossroads or simply yearning to reconnect with what grounds her—and she’s ready to get quiet, get real, and find clarity through movement, journaling, and intuitive reflection.
• Wants to explore what it means to pivot with purpose and presence, not from fear or pressure.
• Craves stillness, strength, simplicity, and space to breathe.
• Is ready to trust herself again—and take the next step, whatever it may be.

Not at all. Our movement sessions are designed for all levels, with plenty of modifications and options. Whether you’re brand new to movement or a seasoned pro, you’ll be supported and challenged in the way that feels right for you.

On-Island Transportation

Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is recommended but not required, and is not included in your registration.

Absolutely — many of our guests come solo! We’ll help connect you with other attendees before the retreat if you’d like, and you’ll leave with new friends who feel like family.

Yes! Our chefs can accommodate most dietary needs — please let us know your restrictions when you register so we can prepare in advance.

We’ll send you a full packing list closer to the retreat, but think light layers, comfortable clothing for movement, a swimsuit, sandals, sneakers, hiking boots, a refillable water bottle, and a journal.

Completely normal. Many women arrive not knowing anyone, and within hours feel deeply connected. Our retreats are intentionally designed to be safe, supportive spaces where you can show up exactly as you are.

We keep our retreats intentionally small — typically 12–18 women — to create an intimate, personalized experience.
