Over the years various smaller scale projects have been realised that foster the same creative energies the hubs aim to stimulate. One such example was an environmental design retreat in desolate Joshua Tree National Park, a program in which designers were urged to consider the role mental health and wellness play in the lives of creatives. These stigmatised issues were addressed during the program and attendees were encouraged to share their creative struggles and worries about their future careers and offer personal advice on how to overcome the toll creativity can take on mental health.

On another occasion one of our founders worked with a collective of screenwriters to host a seminar focused on bringing creatives together and furthering the development of ideas and creative drive. This retreat took place outside of Vancouver thanks to Propaganda live who helped organise the seminar during which industry leaders advised aspiring screenwriters on different elements of their scripts and encouraged collaboration between professionals with differing levels of expertise in the film industry.
