Retreats
Join others in the Belle Ame community for multiple days of gathering, learning, bonding, and beautifying souls. These over-night retreats will fill your heart with a longing to beautify your own life, family, and community through the arts.​
Classes
Members gather to learn from inspiring teachers in heart-based, dynamic, hands-on, sessions.
Apprenticeships
Youth and young adults from member families gain practical experience while helping develop or beautify campus. As campus staff maintain and develop the grounds and structures, they invite community members to join in all the learning and doing.
Service
Our campus moto is non sibi sed aliis which means "not for self, but for others". That is the spirit that builds families, communities, and this campus. The campus is funded, built, maintained, and enjoyed by members of the Belle Ame community.
Events
From conferences and guest speakers, to performances and poetry teas, artful living events on campus take members beyond the ordinary through transformative experiences that ignite the imagination and cultivate a love for beauty and creativity.
What do Artful Living Experiences Look Like?
People say it feels like an instant family reunion, even if you're meeting everyone else for the first time. That's what shared culture, built through artful living at home, can do.
Take a look at the Artful Living Experience that Compass Academy Co-op members had. This is artful living: gathering, singing, working, laughing, singing, painting, eating, singing, serving, and singing.
