wORDS FROM PAST ATTENDEES

“Katie Dewald has a heart of gold! It was amazing being a participant in her first Human Gatherings content retreat!! I was completely blown away by the level of detail and care that she put into the whole retreat! She had surprise welcome gifts waiting for us on each of our beds and all the details of the shoots laid out for us, too. Each shoot was creative and unique. We went to several different locations and had both indoor/outdoor & couples/elopement shoots. The variety and details that went into each shoot were perfect for content building. I also can’t say enough about the other girls who attended. I feel like Katie set a relaxed & welcoming tone which really set the mood for the whole retreat. I felt like this retreat really helped kick off 2021 in such a bright way! Thank you, Katie for your creative and welcoming spirit! I hope you do more content retreats in the future!”

"Where do I EVEN begin with my feedback and review on Human Gatherings! It was honestly one of the absolute BEST investments I have made in my business!! First of all Katie completely OUTDID herself in every way with all of the details, hard work, and passion that she poured into this content and education retreat! From the moment I booked my ticket to long after the retreat was over she invests her heart and soul into her attendees. From the Airbnb she booked, to the retreat layout, to the UNREAL and CREATIVE shoots she planned, to the education she provided (she's literally an open book), to the models she invited, to the meals, and the community she attracts, all of it is WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!! With it being such a small intimate group you are able to fully experience every shoot and come home with so much content it's insane! So take my advice and BOOK a ticket NOW! I promise you won't regret it!

Do yourself a favor and RUN to book a ticket to Human Gatherings because I guarantee you will not regret it! I got SO much out of this retreat I would not hesitate to book again!

With it being such a small intimate group you are able to fully experience every shoot and come home with so much content it's insane! So take my advice and BOOK a ticket NOW! I promise you won't regret it!
