Indigofest Retreat

Join us where the sea meets sky for our annual Indigofest Retreat at the Historic Sou’wester Lodge in Seaview, Washington situated on the magnificent Long Beach peninsula, the ancestral lands of the Chinook peoples. This immersive retreat is a celebration of indigo past, present, and future, featuring hands-on workshops and in-depth demos with Britt Boles & Iris Sullivan Daire. We’ll experience fresh Pacific blues, from leaf to pigment to vat with local fiber, paper, paint, and more. Save the dates for 67th annual Indigofest retreat: August 4th-8th 2025 and signup for our mailing list to get first notice for open registration this winter:

How it all began…Britt and Iris created Indigofest in 2018, with a pocket full of indigo leaves and deep desire for nurturing spaces of blue community and craft.
