???? Zero Empty Spaces Takes to the Sea for a Creative Wellness Adventure! ??? Our community believes in the power of art to bring people together—and this year, we took that belief to the high seas! The #CruiseForCreatives Artist Wellness Retreat aboard Virgin Voyages in partnership with Sergio Gomez & A. Yanina Gomez, PhD of #ArtNXTlevel was an unforgettable journey of creativity, mindfulness, and connection, proving that when artists come together in an inspiring environment, magic happens. From the moment we set sail, it was all about recharging, growing, and bonding through: ??♀? Mindful Mornings – Starting each day with meditation, yoga, and breathwork to fuel our creativity. ?? Creative Workshops – Hands-on experiences that sparked new ideas and helped us break through creative blocks. ?? Deep Conversations – Learning from one another, sharing stories, and gaining insights on the artistic journey. ?? Community & Connection – Forming friendships, building collaborations, and strengthening our artist network. ?? Adventure & Exploration – At every port, we soaked in new inspiration! ??? Costa Maya – Exploring breathtaking Mayan ruins and embracing the history and culture. ?? Roatán – Visiting a sloth sanctuary (yes, we held sloths! ??) and zip-lining through the jungle for an adrenaline rush. ??? Bimini Beach Club – Relaxing on crystal-clear waters, unwinding in paradise, and reflecting on our journey. This was more than a cruise—it was a transformational experience that reminded us why #community, #creativity, and #mindfulness go hand in hand. Whether you were there with us or are watching from afar, we hope this recap inspires you to nurture your artistic spirit, connect with others, and say YES to experiences that fuel your passion. Who’s ready for the next adventure? ? Stay tuned for more retreats, workshops, new studio spaces, and experiences in 2026 and beyond!
