Info: Come as you are to the table of creatives ready to reset, recharge, reconnect and renew along their journey of the Morepalooza Retreat. The kickoff dinner will allow guests to get to know one another and fuel our bodies for the weekend ahead. Includes dinner, two pre-dinner cocktails and 1/2 bottle of wine per guest.

Info: After the kickoff dinner, the night isn’t over yet.

Join us back at the resort for a chill hangout session—no agenda, no pressure. Whether you want to cozy up in one of the lounge nooks for good conversation, kick back in the cinema room with fellow creatives, or just decompress after a big day, this is your space to settle in and enjoy.

It’s the perfect time to make new friends, share some laughs, or simply soak up the creative energy in the room. Pajamas are appropriate, good vibes are required.

Info: A gentle welcome session to help guests prepare for the day ahead. Expect calming movement, breath work, and an optional sharing circle to initiate connection and set intentions for the weekend.

Info: Myth Studio and James Finlay open the doors to their new office at Mare Street Studios in Shoreditch. Retreat attendees will get an inside look and be met with special Morepalooza swag!

Info: Is your creative business in need of a strategic reset? In this guided session, agency veteran Michael Janda—who built and sold an eight-figure creative agency and led projects for clients like Disney, Google, and Warner Bros.—will help you assess where your business stands and where it needs to go.

Through a structured self-audit, you’ll uncover what’s working, what’s not, and how to make intentional adjustments to regain clarity, control, and momentum.

You’ll walk away with a snapshot of your business health across key areas, clarity on what to improve, remove, or prioritize, and a practical 30-day action plan you can put to work immediately.

*This is included in the one-day workshop ticket.

Info: As we prepare for the panel and Q&A grab a cocktail and a snack for this brief break. The fun continues with the panel discussion and Q&A!

*This is included in the one-day workshop ticket.

Info: Featuring James Martin, Tom Ross, Danny Allen-Page, Thad Cox, Danielle Clarke, James Finlay, and moderated by Michael Janda, this panel brings together respected voices in the creative industry who’ve chosen alignment over burnout, clarity over chaos, and connection over clicks. In a shifting creative landscape, many professionals are rethinking what success really looks like.

Through real, unfiltered stories, the panel will share how they’ve embraced change, built meaningful client relationships, and restructured their creative paths to feel more human and more sustainable.

You’ll walk away with fresh insights on attracting clients who actually “get it,” strategies to future-proof your business through connection, ideas to reframe your work around values—not just deliverables—and encouragement to embrace change as a creative edge.

*This is included in the one-day workshop ticket.

Info: Where real relationships begin—over snacks, stories, and shared ah-ha moments. Join fellow retreat attendees, speakers, and panelists for a relaxed post-panel gathering designed to spark real conversations beyond the stage. No awkward small talk—just creatives connecting over the big shifts, shared wins, and fresh ideas stirred up during the day. Whether you’re seeking collaborators, community, or just someone who truly gets what you do—this is your space to unwind, chat, and build the kind of relationships that last long after London. From the rooftops of NT's Loft, we celebrate Morepalooza.

*This is included in the one-day workshop ticket.

Info: Feeling ready to dance, sing, and feel the soul of Shoreditch? Continue on to The Blues Kitchen for a night cap and unforgettable memories with your new posse of creative friends.

Info: Not a night owl on the town? Come kick off your shoes and settle in for a relaxed night with fellow retreat-goers. Whether you’re in the mood for meaningful convos in a quiet corner, a cozy group movie in the cinema room, or just some low-key laughs, the space is yours to unwind however you’d like.

No schedule, no structure—just a chance to connect, reflect, and enjoy the kind of creative company you don’t find every day.

Info: When is the last time you recharged your body and mind? Mason & Fifth has curated a special retreat experience for Morepalooza guests. Join us for the most mindful part of the retreat, complete with yoga, soundbath and other carefuly curated experiences to accomplish grounding. This is where mind over matter is accomplished. The wellness session will be followed by quiet time where guests can write, read, reflect, or just sit in silence to recharge their mind and body.

Info: After grounding the morning with retreat practice, we’ll shift into a focused working lunch—where food meets forward motion. This isn’t just about eating; it’s about exchanging insights, refining ideas, and setting intentions with creatives who speak your language. Bring your notes, your questions, and your curiosity. Whether you're unpacking a morning workshop or getting feedback on a fresh idea, this table is where clarity and collaboration collide. Fresh, seasonal dishes will fuel the conversation. Purposefully casual. Productively inspiring.

Info: After lunch, we’ll head out together for a group visit to Frameless—London’s most immersive art experience. Located in Marble Arch, Frameless is the UK’s largest permanent multi-sensory gallery, where iconic works of art come alive through light, sound, and movement.
Spread across four stunning galleries, Frameless invites you to step into the artwork itself—no frames, no boundaries, just awe-inspiring creativity from a whole new perspective.
This shared experience is the perfect way to close out the day: reconnect with your creative self, spark inspiration, and soak in some mind-expanding visuals with your fellow retreaters.

Info: After Frameless, gather your new creative crew and hit the city together.

Whether you're hopping on the Underground for some classic London sightseeing or cruising the streets with the complimentary bike rentals from Mason & Fifth, this is your time to explore as a group. Think spontaneous photo ops, iconic landmarks, and shared discoveries—because everything’s better with friends by your side.

No itinerary, just good people and a city full of possibilities.

Info: If travel plans allow, join us for the curated farewell breakfast for all retreat attendees. Here you will have a chance to book your Review Session with Michael Janda that consists of a 60-minute one-on-one to check-in with your goals and milestones planned during the retreat.

Info: Many retreat attendees choose to stay an extra day—and for good reason.

We call it Bonus Day. It’s not part of the formal retreat agenda, but it’s become a Morepalooza tradition: an unstructured, low-pressure day where we explore the city together, enjoy some casual sightseeing, and soak up a bit more connection before everyone heads home.

Past Bonus Days have taken us to the beach, aquariums, and coffee-fueled wanderings—and this time, we’ll let London lead the way. Whether it's checking out iconic landmarks, hitting up a market, or stumbling into a great pub, the vibe is relaxed, fun, and spontaneous.

So if you’re up for one more day of creative camaraderie (and probably a few more laughs), plan to stick around. You won’t regret it.

Info: Still Here? Let’s Keep It Going. Anyone who isn't ready to say goodbye just yet—you’re invited. Sunday is an informal, extra day for continued connection and spontaneous fun as we roam the city, share meals, and keep the Morepalooza magic alive just a little longer.
