CREATIVE HIVE: A MASTERMIND RETREAT FOR CREATIVES

February 5-9, 2027, Cocoa Beach, FL

Creative Hive Mastermind Retreat is a small, invitation-only mastermind retreat for women who run creative businesses.

For years, Willy Wilson and Kim Tank talked about wanting a retreat that gave us more than inspiration. Too many events send you home with a notebook full of ideas and two day's worth of action items you'll never get around to doing. We wanted time to learn, grow, connect, have fun, actually rest, and do the work while we're there. Not to go home with a to-do list; to go home finished.

You’ll stay with us in a private home in Cocoa Beach,  less than a 5 minute walk to the beach and walkable to restaurants and shops. We’ll arrive on February 5^th and check out on February 9^th, giving us three whole days together.

Over those three days, a small group of women creatives will work together to finish yearly goals and marketing calendars, share ideas, and give each other honest feedback. There's time built in for rest, to make something just for fun, and to get to know each other. You’ll head home on February 9th with a finished plan for the year and a group of women cheering you on from afar.

What to Expect at The Creative Hive Mastermind Retreat

Our retreat days will be a mix of:

• Mastermind Sessions – each participant will have dedicated time to share ideas, challenges, and get valuable feedback.

• Group Discussions – conversations on goals, planning, and how to move forward in business and life.

• Independent Work Time – space to work on your yearly goals, marketing calendars, or projects.

• Creative Activities – something small and fun each day to spark inspiration and connection.

• Content Creation – shoot some cell phone video to use in your socials and get some updated headshots and branding photos you can use in your business

• Exploration – we’ll have time to explore the area and plan a group activity together 

Meals & Lodging

We’ll be staying together in a beautiful private home in Cocoa Beach. Every participant will have their own bed in either a private bedroom (2) or shared bedroom, a communal kitchen, and plenty of space to relax.

• Breakfast and snacks will be provided on the three retreat days. 

• Welcome Dinner will be provided on arrival day (February 5^th)

• Dinner and lunches will be on your own (self-paid), but we’ll plan to go out together or coordinate casual group meals, including at least one community meal night where we cook and eat together at the house.

• Rooms will be assigned in order of registration, but rest assured the whole house is beautiful — there’s no “bad” room. You may request who to share a room with if you know someone else who is coming.

Cost = $1250 (includes the retreat, led by Kim Tank & Willy Wilson, 4 nights of lodging and meals per above)

JOIN THE RETREAT

After the Retreat: Yearlong Mastermind (optional) - $495

When the retreat ends, the support doesn’t have to. Join our Creative Hive Mastermind group and continue meeting monthly on Zoom (second Mondays), plus short weekly accountability check-ins (also on Zoom). We’ll start with a goal-setting meeting in January and an initial get-to-know-you and goal sharing meeting on the 1^st Monday in February (since the retreat covers the usual meeting day and we want to include anyone joining the mastermind that can’t make the retreat). This mastermind is all about problem-solving, sharing resources, and helping each other follow through on personal, professional, and creative goals.

Meet your Mastermind Retreat/Group Leaders

Creative Hive Mastermind was created by two award-winning photographers, longtime friends, and accountability partners: Kim Tank of Kimberly Tank Art & Photography in Rockledge, FL, and Willy Wilson of Life Unstill Photography in Denver, CO. 

Kim has spent 13 years building her photography business specializing in underwater and lifestyle portrait photography. Beyond her client work, she teaches group camera classes for adults, leads photography, editing, and art courses for middle and high schoolers, and offers private one-on-one mentoring for photographers.

Willy is a former NAPCP Photographer of the Year (2022) and a 2026 NAPCP Mentor, known for her bold, award-winning underwater and lifestyle portraiture. She's spent years teaching photography and art classes to adults and mentoring other photographers through their creative and business growth, and she created a creativity planner designed to help creatives of all kinds set and follow through on their goals.

Together, Kim and Willy have spent over a decade cheering each other on, brainstorming through business challenges, and holding each other accountable to their goals — which is exactly what led them to create Creative Hive Mastermind. Now, they're bringing that same energy to their first-ever retreat: a few days of goal-setting, brainstorming, content creation, and rest, alongside a group of fellow creative business owners ready to do the same.
