The Goal

Capture the retreat and the people who made it meaningful.

One Mother Retreat brought more than 100 attendees from across the country to Agave in Sedona, Arizona, for a March gathering centered on spiritual exploration and connection. Organized by Sergei and Maria, it was one of the largest retreats they had hosted.

Voyage’s role was to document what they had created and give the organizers photo and video content for future retreat marketing. The coverage needed to convey the emotion and atmosphere of the gathering while preserving the speaking sessions, meditations, and group activities.

The Retreat

Sessions, shared experiences, and personal reflections.

The production combined cinematic retreat footage and photography with event-style coverage of the full speaking sessions, meditations, and group activities. Sedona’s setting and the venue formed part of the story alongside the people taking part.

Attendee testimonials added a personal perspective. The conversations explored why people chose to attend, how they were feeling about the retreat, and where they were in their spiritual journeys.

Production Approach

Multiple camera angles with a quiet presence.

A spiritual retreat calls for care in how a crew moves through the room. Voyage ran multiple camera angles at the same time while keeping its presence low key, allowing attendees to stay focused on the sessions, meditations, and group experiences.

Two videographers, one director, and one photographer covered the retreat together. This gave the team room to record the speaking sessions and group activities while also capturing the moments and photographs that would help tell the retreat’s story.

Voyage’s Role

From venue setup to final delivery.

01

Preparation & Setup

The crew arrived the day before the retreat to load in equipment and test camera angles. The production also involved a local Sedona AV team.

02

Video, Photos & Testimonials

Two full days of coverage included the retreat program, group activities, attendee interviews, and photography, with multiple camera angles running at the same time.

03

Editing & Delivery

Voyage delivered a retreat recap edit and a curated photo gallery, along with all raw footage and raw images for the client’s internal use.

Filming Location

Agave in Sedona, Arizona.

Agave provided the setting for the retreat’s sessions and shared experiences. Including the advance load-in and camera checks, Voyage spent approximately two and a half days on site.

The Deliverables

A retreat recap and content for future gatherings.

The final edit recapped the experience and gave the organizers a video for marketing future retreats. A curated photo gallery preserved the people and moments from the gathering, while the raw media gave the client access to the broader production coverage.

Planning Your Production

A question for a similar project.

Can a retreat be documented without interrupting the experience?

For One Mother Retreat, Voyage arrived the day before to load in equipment and test camera angles. During the retreat, the crew used multiple angles and kept its presence low key. Planning camera positions and movement around the program helps a team capture the experience while respecting the attention and space of participants.
