24.01.2022 ANNOUNCEMENT - Event Postponed. Although we are still waiting on the outcome of the press conference, all signs point towards at least a 7-day Melbourne lockdown from midnight tonight, but this could possibly include all of Victoria. We find out at 11am here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/newschannel/ I am truly devastated to have to postpone the Refocus Retreat for the second year running. It's hard to reconcile the amount of planning, the costs, and the total excitement I ha...d to see you all this weekend. I know some of you are already in the state, and others are on their way. I wish I could have had more information or details sooner but up until this morning, we had been given the green light. We will update more on our plan B's and C's shortly, please bear with us in this confusing and stressful time. Love Kym

18.01.2022 Refocus Retreat Director, Kym Vulling brings you an important announcement about this weekend's online program and a message about the reschedule of Refocus Retreat for 2021 following the very unfortunate snap lockdown.

17.01.2022 2/3 super excited to bring back the wonderful Keren Dobia to Refocus Retreat 2020 . Brought to you By Kayell . "At the 2017 Australian Professional Photography Awards, a photographer and judge said of Keren’s work that there are some portraits that simply say what we look like, and there’s some that say who we are. This is the principle that has inspired Keren’s ongoing series of portraits depicting Australian artists and artisans, I AM. four of which earnt her the distin...ction of being named the 2017 AIPP Australian Professional Photographer of the Year, and the 2019 AIPP Victorian Professional Photographer of the Year. Keren is an accredited professional photographer and a creator of theatrical photographic images. Her artwork is influenced by her background in painting, drawing and fashion. Her work often blurs the line between photography and illustration. Keren’s creativity extends to the design and fabrication of costumes and sets to compliment her visions. With a natural attention to detail and her industry recognised postproduction skills Keren moulds her inspirational work from concept to completion. In addition, Keren’s friendly and energetic personality puts both her creative team and her subjects at ease. This distinctive approach attracts commissions equally from advertising agencies and theatre performers, as well as from public care providers. Keren holds a Diploma of Photo Imaging from Melbourne Polytechnic (formerly NMIT), and lectures at Melbourne Polytechnic and RMIT in the photo imaging courses alongside her creative and commercial work." #refocusretreat2020 #refocusretreat #auswip #womeninphotography #businesschicks #aipp #photographyretreat #womeninbusiness #creativephotography #studiophotography #portraitphotography #fineart #studiolighting #photographycourse #girltogs #australianphotographer #awardwinning #melbournewomen #melbournebusiness #countryvic

12.01.2022 Never apologise for being a powerful woman. Even if we don't believe it ourselves. Even if we doubt, if we sometimes question if we are doing this 'thing called life' right. Your strength is there. It is in the steps you take, daring yourself to try something new, pushing your boundaries, moving beyond your comfort zone. It is the actions you make each day to be more seen, to show the world what you are passionate about. It is in the hug you give your loved ones at night, how... fiercely loyal you are to your family, your tribe, blood related or not. Perhaps it is just that this very morning, you showed up, You said I am still here, and I am still fighting. I am strong enough. I am powerful. And I am not apologising. ... EARLY BIRD EXTENDED - 7 more days! #refocusretreat2020 #refocusretreat #auswip #womeninphotography #businesschicks #aipp #photographyretreat #womeninbusiness #wildweddings #weddingphotography #portraitphotography #fineart #photographycourse #girltogs #australianphotographer #melbournewomen #melbournebusiness #countryvic
