How Inclusive is ReMe Ocracoke?

At ReMe Retreats, we'll strive to exceed your wildest expectations by anticipating your every need. As one ReMe Retreat Attendee puts it, "ReMe has put the retreat back in art retreats."

Food?

Friends gathered with us this year at the ReMe
Ocracoke House.  Our plans and
our meals received their seal of approval.

Delectable scents will surround you as we prepare your morning muffins and fresh baked afternoon cookies.  Homemade lunches and dinners will be served family style in our country kitchen, and an informal breakfast service will be provided in the dining room.  Coffee, tea, spa water, and snacks will also be readily available throughout your visit.

With three meals a day, snacks, coffee, tea, spa waters, and daily drinks…we’ve got you covered!  You’ll also find a nice selection of food, beverages, gourmet treats, and restaurants on Ocracoke Island.

Shelter?

Oh my…do we have shelter for you!  Our 2015 ReMe Retreats will be held in a Historic Inn on Ocracoke Island.  While you won’t find sleep number beds, a pool, hot tub, or a lounge in the lobby here, you will find more character than you can possibly imagine.

From the player piano in the living room to the private library; from the claw foot tub on the porch to the vast collection of hand stitched samplers on display; from the private sound-side beach to the hammock under the live oak trees in the yard…where do we begin?!?

Each guest will share a bedroom with one other guest.  Three of our guest bedrooms contain two twin beds; and one contains a double bed.  Room selection will be based on availability at the time of your reservation, and we’ll do everything possible to accommodate your requests.




One full bathroom on each floor of The Inn will be available for your use, and you’ll also have access to the largest private outdoor shower and changing room that we’ve ever seen.  (Did we mention the claw foot tub on the porch?!?)  Sheets and towels will be provided, and in the living areas we’ll share our personal collection of snuggly blankets, quilts, and afghans with you too.

 Your rocking chair awaits!

Clothing?

Alright...you caught us...while we won’t actually be providing the clothes on your back during your visit, we have been discussing the possibility of designing a few pieces of ReMe Wear.  (We'll update you as we move forward with this.)  We also have oodles of other surprises in store for you.  Mum’s the word for now, and in the mean time, we hope that you enjoy every minute of the anticipation.

What about classes and supplies?

You’re going to love our classes!  We’ll provide you with your own creative space for the duration of your visit.   A cheery sun room will serve as our private classroom for the week, and demonstrations will take place between it and the attached dining room. Once you settle into your workspace, you won’t need to relocate again for the remainder of our time together.

During ReMe, your instructors will include Jodi Ohl, Penny Arrowood, and Jean Skipper.  (You'll find more information us and the classes that we're offering on our personal tabs on this web page.)  You’ll receive 22.5 hours of formal class time, or 7.5 hours of classroom instruction with each of us.  Daily open studio sessions will also be available.  We’ll have plenty of tools and supplies to share, and we encourage you to bring your own favorites with you too.    

All class costs and kit costs are included in the price of ReMe.  If your heart desires, you’ll also have the opportunity to purchase supplies and original artwork from our on site ReMe Store.  We admit that we LOVE our art supplies and vintage finds; we admit that our individual collections have grown to gigantic proportions; and we admit that we’re looking forward to sharing our treasures with you in the classroom and in our ReMe Store.  Instead of a limited one-time artists’ market, our store will remain open and available to you throughout your visit.
