Joshua Tree, CA
November 2026
This is your brand's
golden hour.
Joshua Tree is not a backdrop. It's a mirror. Out here, stripped of the scroll, the noise, and the algorithm — what's real in you rises to the surface. And that's exactly where your best content comes from.
The Golden Edit is a four-day creative retreat for entrepreneurs, creatives, and personal brands who are ready to stop performing for the camera and start creating from something real. You'll leave with a full library of professional content, a clearer brand story, and the momentum that only comes from working in a space like this.

Luxury. Stillness. Creation.
From the moment you arrive to the morning you leave, every detail is handled. All you have to bring is yourself.
Desert Accommodation
Three nights in a beautifully appointed Joshua Tree property. Private rooms and shared options available. Waking up to the desert does something to you that no hotel can replicate.
All Meals & Nourishment
Wholesome communal meals throughout the retreat — nourishing breakfasts, lunches, and dinners crafted to fuel creative days. Communal eating is part of the magic.
Professional Photo & Video
Maddie's team films and photographs you on-location throughout the retreat. Golden-hour desert light, boulder fields, open sky — this is content that can't be faked.
Content Strategy Workshops
Hands-on mastermind sessions covering brand voice, Reels strategy, content calendars, and how to create content that actually converts. Real strategy, real talk.
Yoga & Cacao Ceremony
We open the retreat with a sacred cacao ceremony and movement practice — a heart-opening ritual to ground the group and set intentions for the days ahead. The kind of beginning that shifts everything.
Stargazing & Community
Joshua Tree has some of the darkest skies in Southern California. Evenings are for gathering around the fire, sharing, and looking up at a sky that reminds you how big it all is.
Leave with a full
content library.
Maddie and the MOTR team film, direct, and edit everything on-site. You don't just experience the retreat — you walk away with polished, professional content ready to publish.
Branded Photo Gallery
A curated set of high-resolution lifestyle and brand photos shot in the desert landscape — golden hour, boulder formations, candid moments. Delivered within two weeks of the retreat.
Edited Brand Video
A 60–90 second cinematic brand video filmed and directed on-site. Desert-bathed footage that tells your story in a way that stops the scroll.
Instagram Reels (3–5 clips)
Short-form vertical video content shot and edited for Reels. Trending formats, authentic moments, professional execution. Ready to post from day one back home.
Content Strategy Document
A personalized content roadmap based on your mastermind sessions — your pillars, your voice, your 90-day plan. So you know exactly what to create when you get home.
Reels & DIY Skills Training
Hands-on training in trending Reels formats, on-camera presence, and self-filming techniques so you can keep creating long after the retreat ends.
Writing & Reflection Time
Intentional unstructured time each day to journal, reflect, and let the quiet of the desert clarify what you've been trying to say. The best captions come from moments like these.
Four days of intentional creation.
Each day balances adventure, creation, connection, and rest. You leave full — not depleted.
