Flying to Meet 30 Strangers for an Artist Retreat 👯🏻‍♀️ Creator Camp in the Catskills 

What a beautiful video !! Loved it from head to toe. The bloopers from the film festival at the end 🤣😍

cryingggg i loved this video so much. the storytelling, the music. so grateful i had the chance to meet you in person this year. you are such a beautiful soul!!!

That camp looks like a lot of creative fun. I had no idea adult creative camps were a thing. Such a great idea turning your sketchbook into a yearbook. You’ll have those memories forever now. 🩵

As an introvert, I feel recharged thanks to this vlog, thank you 🌬️🍃💚

waa I found myself tearing up of how much I wanna do those things :D ty for making me smile with your experiencies Tiff !!!

Yes, girl! Introverts are so misunderstood. But you have to have friends that get you. My friends know they have me one weekend a month. And I will be the first to leave so I can recharge my batteries! But like you, I force myself to get out of my comfort zone. Love this video!

Don't forget Palestine 🇵🇸✌️ Palestine is free 🇵🇸💗

NOOOO I never got to contribute to the year book 😭😭😭😭😭

This was so great Tiffany! Creator camp was such an amazing time and you really captured it. Also it was really fun to rewatch those bloopers from the short we made 😊

You did really well! there's no way I'd have the confidence to be able to go on a trip like this ❤❤

you were one of the people who inspired me to be even interested in starting a small biz, so thank you so much for being one if my biggest inspirations. 💕

It terrifies me to think of being around that many people and have to do things with them, but I totally understand that feeling of not belonging and the imposter syndrome. Just think of it this way- imposter syndrome doesn’t exist. You ARE an artist, you DO have talent, and you CAN belong in more than one place. We all just have to take that scary step to find them. (I’m saying this as I hide from the world from exhaustion and overwhelm even though I can’t seem to accomplish anything) 😮

This was so cute and uplifting!

I don't know if you will see this comment or not but all your videos, despite their topics, make me motivated to get creative even when I have bad days. Keep creating :)

Aww loved that you put yourself out there and found a community. This was such a sweet and comforting video!

Warning: this video comes with deep feelings that may break you.

Whenever I feel imposter syndrome creeping up I remind myself of a story Neil Gaiman one shared. He was at a meal or event to celebrate great people and he was looking around seeing scientists and doctors and couldn’t understand why he had been invited, a man came over and introduced himself as Neil they laughed about how they had the same name. After a little bit of chatting the man said to Gaiman I don’t know why i’m here i just went where they told me to do, i didn’t do anything. To which Gaiman replied, you were the first man on the moon! He was talking with Neil Armstrong. Also, introvert vs extrovert, it’s all about what recharges you better. Do you feel better and recharge after spending time alone or do you feel better after being around people. And there is also introverted extroverts and extroverted introverts.

I see myself as an extrovert even tho i need to recharge in between activities. I wish to have one or two social events a week otherwise i would feel depressed and lonely 😂. But more than two times a week makes me exhausted. I learned this during my 30s.

loved this vlog thanks for sharing, and yep being introverts we often have to push ourselves a bit more especially with social situations, once we get over our shyness then the sky is limitless ☺

I want to do this so badly. Is it cheap? Also is there a long wait process for these types of things?

You did well, but not everyone will be this lucky.

The notebook yearbook was so cute! As an introvert that is in my late 20s, it has been weird to see friendships leave and not being able to as easily make new friendships. I feel at this stage in my life, it's hard for me to connect as some people want more surface level conversations whereas I feel more comfortable with deeper conversations

seemed like a nice change of pace from the city of sin

Oh my... I love the energy and introspection in this video!! It doesn't really matter, but I grew up in the Catskills region and seeing the scenery sparked something in me; a warm nostalgia I didn't know I needed. I haven't been back there since I was a child. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, what a wonderful opportunity this was!

well isn’t this the most adorable thing :)

It's so lovely to see where I live through another person's eyes! I love all the small towns scattered through the Catskills, I hope you got to visit lots of cute places while you were here! If you ever come back I recommended visiting the town of Catskill! There's lots of cute shops and cafes on the main street here!

wow, this looks wonderful, what a beautiful part of the country to visit. glad you were brave enough to go out of your comfort zone when you were invited on this adorable camp! The airstreams are freaking gorgeous! Love the night light captures! How fun to be doing creative things with other people you haven't met before!

Omg is that Jeffrey Sun?? I went to college with him, this is a crazy crossover!!

oh I related so much when you said you felt like you didn't belong anywhere because that's me right now. and it's amazing to see that you found an experience like that, one that forces you to put yourself out there. and these days i hate that i am forced to just be online or whatever (mainly because of my job too), when all i want is to leave my phone, live in the present, and try to make new friends. but I don't have those opportunities. D:

So happy to get to meet you ♥️♥️♥️🫶

This was such a refreshing and comforting video to watch! I often struggle a lot with stepping outside of my comfort zone at boothing events to make friends so this hit hard ;u; It's amazing to see you push yourself and achieve what you did at the camp

This was such a calming video, I always love seeing how much you’ve grown!

I loved watching through this! That imposter syndrome is so real, but I'm glad it didn't keep you from enjoying your week there ^-^ also, the short film was lovely!! great work, to all of you

Omg I love this for you! This looked like such a fun time and I am sure you made some unexpected connections. I feel like this is what Creatives NEED! I love the year book idea ❤

This video was so good. This was such an amazing idea who ever planned this event/ get together. I bet it felt so good to be around people that kind of get you and how you might feel. I hope you had a lot of fun!🙂

I'd love to go on a trip like this. Kudos to you for doing it! And I loved the little insights you shared, and your honesty. It really is your strength in these videos. Thanks for sharing 😊❤

Omg his jacket says Patagonia, and I am Argentine ❤❤❤ ha ha ha i don't know, i like it

Congrats for eventually getting the better result from it. I feel like I would have a hard time there and still be an introvert after it. Thanks for sharing!

this was so wonderful to watch!! could tell you all had a lot of fun together :) :) :)

i’m so glad you ended up having a nice time! i hope you get to have more experiences like this with good people in the future~

This was nice and refreshing to watch - thanks for sharing 🤭💕

Omg I love this so much

so wholesome, this fills my introverted heart

Aw this is so nice! This looks like such a nice time!

As an introvert I had never craved community and never have problem making friends as an introvert I had never made a lot of them but have never a difficultie making them but I do met a ton of people who are a social anxiety low energy extrovert. even more in the artist spectrum I think is because artist have the need to seclude while working that end up thinking they are introvert and become afraid of making friends out of anxiety also found that a lot of the burn out comes from this anxiety that get growing from social media work so people always remember to not put a tag on yourself and keep walking with it without cuestioning if ''that'' is really you but over all always have in mind that change is at anybody reach and is ok to redescover you again and again. ❤

❤

The yearbook sketches are sooooo goooooood! 🥹

I love your vids sm they bring such positive energy and motivate me to keep in touch with my creativity !!!

Love the vlog!! What a treat! Do you have an estimate of how much a retreat like this costs for those of us interested in going to something like this too?

this looks so fun!! i used to go to summer camps as a kid all the time and as an adult i really miss that. also the setting where everyone sits together and does their own thing is so comforting to me, the definition of quality time

I love your vids!

watching this made me so emotional, first thing i'm doing when i have free time is inviting all my friends out

u are glowing

This was so sweet ✨

💕💕💕

Ahhh first!!

First

I follow Kyle on TikTok and was so surprised to see him here! I’m so happy you had that experience, it made me want to try something similar in the future 🤍
