The Experience

A transformative 9-day filmmaking experience in the heart of Costa Rica

A 9-Day Creative Pilgrimage in Costa Rica

The Born to Create Project retreat is a 9-day immersive filmmaking experience that blends hands-on shooting, comprehensive post-production teaching, and spiritual formation in the stunning landscapes of Costa Rica.

More than just a skills workshop, this retreat is designed to raise up visual storytellers who carry God's presence into culture.
