The power of one individual to change others through their passion is undeniable and extraordinary.

The Promoting Passion Convention brings together individuals who want to, can, and will make a difference with their passion. If you are an artist looking to expand your craft, someone seeking greater perspective, skills, or personal fulfillment, or if you are someone who wants more community…this event was created for you.

A series of hands-on workshops, lectures, panel discussions and work stations will be set up for everyone to learn in different ways. The maximum number of attendees is 200 to keep the event intimate.

Connection is huge for me, and I strive to make as many partners-in-crime as possible at the convention.

I have long admired our speakers, who I believe will bring beautiful, necessary, and inspirational voices to this convention. Click on these exceptional people to learn more about them and myself.

    Shannon - Brooke,

    I have a question about the retreat. I use a desktop (that has my photoshop) for editing. I don’t have a lap top. Is it required to bring a lap top to the retreat?

    Thank you,
    Shannon ShepardReplyCancel

    • May 1, 2015 - 7:38 am

      brookeshaden - Hi Shannon!

      Great question! Who likes editing on a laptop anyway? 🙂

      I will be giving away a free editing dvd to all attendees, so at the very least you will have something to take home with you to follow along with. There won’t be a lot of editing going on at the convention – much more “adventure fun time”, as I’ve been unofficially calling it, so you should be good to go!

      Xo!

    nicholas ralph - Hi,

    I saw your photo, or some of them, on Facebook as a friend has liked the page. I never take the time to leave comments or look through things greatly. Yet I feel I must send you a quick email to say as a 28 man who likes art but has no huge connection to it, was taken back by the picture you created.

    Just Amazing, though provoking and so interesting yet tasteful. If there is anyway of purchasing prints I would very much like to for my first home.

    Best wishes

I’m totally taking this as a sign that I MUST be a part of this! Are spaces limited? Is there a way to make a deposit to hold a spot? I have to drum up the full fee for the workshop and would be so disappointed to miss out!ReplyCancel

      brookeshaden - Hi Mary! Oh it would be an honor to have you come along! Spaces are limited but you’re okay for now to wait on signing up 🙂 We don’t have a deposit system down yet, but if it helps, you need only pay for the ticket fee and then a room/board fee at your convenience to hold your space. Whenever you’re ready, just hit that sign-up button, and if you have any trouble or any questions, just email me 🙂 Xo!!ReplyCancel

    Pawan R. Joshi - Hello Brook,

    This is my great pleasure to write you at this moment. I am your great admirer of your photography, art concept. i love your every work and do watch your every video in youtube and every fb shares and comments, though i never wrote to you. but since i found this convention, i couldn’t stay untouched, so i connect with u this time.

    I am writing you from Nepal. To attend this convention will be my dream come true. I do photography professionally in Nepal and i am still learning from mentors like you. I want to register in this convention and i am asking you for any further process and documentations that i need to do from my side besides registration and payment of registration fee.

    Will i be eligible to participate or not? if yes what documents shall i get to apply for Visa in US embassy in Kathmandu Nepal.

    Thank you in advance.

      Thank you for writing! You would be most welcome and I would love for you to be there! On my end, all you need to do is register and you will be considered an honorary member of the Promoting Passion team! As for a visa and dealing with the embassy, I am not sure. I have never been to Nepal so I don’t know exactly what the requirements are. Let me know if you do some research and can’t find out, and I’ll put some good effort into finding out for you. Xo!

      brookeshaden - Hi Annie! I would love to have you! I am working now on compiling a list of places to stay outside of the retreat center – you’d probably need to rent a car to make it work, but I believe there are other options and people to carpool with. If you do sign up, I’ll put you in the Facebook group where people are chatting about this exact topic 🙂 XO! Let me know if you have any questions! Sending hugs 🙂ReplyCancel

The registration will stay open right up until the event starts, and there is no age limit, but those under 18 need to be accompanied by a guardian – no need for that person necessarily to attend the event though 🙂 Let me know if I can help with anything else!

I have enjoyed hearing you speak and watching you work the last two after darks. I was so inspired that I am really trying to start a “promoting creativity in Wausau WI” group where we eat out together and talk about what we are working on and encourage each other to delve even further.

    How was I not aware of this!?
    This is such an opportunity for me!
    I was living in San Diego back when I first started emailing Brooke. I now live in Raleigh, NC.
    So, Being a vegetarian photographer living in NC THIS is the convention for me! Besides being able to connect with fellow NC artists! Ahhh…
    But how did I miss this until today!?!
    I’m so bummed!
    I would NOT be able to be there on the 2nd.
    So here is my question:
    Is there a way to attend the 3rd and 4th only? 🙁
    I’m anxiously waiting for a response.

    And if this year is not a possibility, is next year going to be held at the same awesome venue!?!

I am begging you to hold a contest for a scholarship for this one. Even if I weren’t to win, it would be fun to imagine and have the hope. I’ve never even left the states in my entire life! And even if I didn’t win, I would know that there is someone out there just like me who would never have the chance otherwise and I would be green with envy but also very excited for that person.

    How do we sign up for the convention? I live in Denver, CO and I have been working on expanding my creativity into my business. Your art and videos have been a huge inspiration to this growth. Are there still spaces available?ReplyCancel

    Paulo Carvalho - Well! If it was only to spend money on the registration, certainly I would have already done. But unfortunately there is still the plane ticket to buy, take the passport and maybe some money to rent a car… I will continue to save and I believe it is possible to go. And after seeing the video, I want so much to go! 🙂ReplyCancel

    Mandy Fitzgerald - Hi Brooke!

    I was wondering – is this open to all creatives? Or is it mainly geared towards photographers? I would love to be a part of this, but since I’m a painter I’m wondering if it would be a good fit!ReplyCancel

    • May 3, 2016 - 5:19 pm

      brookeshaden - Hi Mandy!

      It is absolutely open to all creatives. The workshops will definitely be geared toward photography, but there will almost always be something going on that is about art in general and not specifically photography. I’d love to have you! I’ll be posting up class descriptions soon too, so that might give you a better idea too! 🙂 XO!ReplyCancel

    Elaina - Hi Brooke! I’ve been a long-time admirer of your work. I also live in Colorado Springs! I’m interested in your convention, but I am not a photographer. I don’t even own a camera. However, I love to play with Photoshop, but would say I am still at an intermediate-beginner level. Would you say I could find some benefit from these workshops? Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • May 6, 2016 - 9:59 am

      brookeshaden - Hi Elaina!

      I am so glad that you wrote! How lovely that you live in Colorado Springs! As for what you’ll get out of the event – there are workshops for every level and the lectures are geared towards all creatives, not just photography. For example, one workshop deals with alternative print processes, a complete beginner guide to getting hands on with images, paintings, or whatever you might want to experiment with. Others will go through their personal process so you don’t have to have any experience to participate.

      There are some attendees who have just picked up a camera or have never opened Photoshop before, so I think you’ll be in good hands.

      Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you!

      🙂

    Jeanett Flynn - Hi! I’m trying to see if I can swing going to the convention this year. A couple quick questions – will we be shooting models and if yes, will there be model releases? I guess my main concern is – will I be able to legally use any images I shoot in art I may want to sell in the future? Thanks! I LOVE your work and I am very inspired by you.ReplyCancel

    • May 28, 2016 - 11:34 am

      brookeshaden - Hi Jeanett! I would love to have you at the convention! We will be shooting some models, and while it depends on the specific class you’re taking in terms of how far and wide you can use the images, you will definitely have opportunities. For example, in my class, you can use the images for absolutely anything. Same for the free creating time, of which there is 2 hours per day, you may use those images however you like as long as you are shooting your own concept. Xoxo! 🙂 BrookeReplyCancel

    George Fargo - Brooke, I have registered and I see you have put up the schedule. Question: are any of these things concurrent? Do I have to choose only one workshop a day or are the three one after another? Thanks, GeorgeReplyCancel

    • July 19, 2016 - 7:23 am

      brookeshaden - Hi George! Welcome! The workshops are the only things happening simultaneously. For each day there will be 2 or 3 workshops happening in the morning slot. You are welcome to skip around if you feel you want a taste for a couple on one particular day! The other events are all individual, none happening at the same time. 🙂 BrookeReplyCancel

    I sent a contact request through your contact form, but haven’t heard back yet. I had to change my email address and wanted to be sure you have my updated contact information for the event in Colorado Springs. (I have already registered.) Would you please check to see if you received my message? I don’t want to miss any correspondences that you may send out. Thanks!ReplyCancel

    Ivy - Are you still accepting enrolments? Also is there anyone travelling from Pennsylvania? I am facing a logistical nightmare putting this together. Please help.ReplyCancel

    • July 29, 2016 - 11:21 am

      brookeshaden - Hi Ivy! Yes indeed, and I’d love to have you. Don’t hesitate to ask for our help if you need any help regarding accommodations, flight recommendations, etc. My sister in law, friend and parents are coming from PA! And I believe at least a couple others are coming from that state, if not that region close by. If you are able to register you can see whose coming in the Facebook group – everyone is super helpful in terms of arranging ride shares, roommates, etc. Let me know if you have any specific questions, I’m here for you! 🙂 Peace and love!ReplyCancel

        Ivy Mukherjee - That’s wonderful! I am in State College and the flights are pretty expensive from here. Is there anyone travelling to Pittsburgh whom I could possibly ride with? I was actually hoping to have the information before I register because it is a sizable financial commitment. Any chance I can be on the page and connect with people before and then decide?ReplyCancel

    Janeane Sanborn - I would like to find out if I could catch a ride from Denver Airport (Virgin America flight from SFO) around 6:30 PM to the Glen Eryie Castle where I am staying for the convention on Monday eve Sept 26th. Anybody renting a car – I would happily share cost of travel. Thanks, JaneaneReplyCancel

    Kristina Kashtanova - Hello!
    I’m thinking about coming from New York.

    I don’t drive (I have just moved to the country from London and don’t have a driving licence). I wonder if there is a way to get around without a car? (from the airport and from the hotel to the convention). I mean if there are taxis or someone is renting a car and could give me a lift.

    P.S.: I’m probably the most strange person in here being without a driving licence 🙂ReplyCancel

    • August 25, 2016 - 11:27 am

      brookeshaden - Hi Kristina! That would be awesome! There are lots of people doing ride shares as well as booking shuttles to/from the airport. We will also have a van to drop people off in the city for dinners as well. You’ll be totally fine without a car! If you do/can sign up, you’ll be added to the Facebook group where it will be easier to coordinate ride shares, or myself or my assistant Kelly will be happy to send more information regarding shuttles. XO!ReplyCancel

      I am so excited to have you! Participants for 1-1 Mentoring will be chosen via a raffle each day, and sign-up sheets will be at the info desk starting on Day 1! We have 6 speakers giving their time during these sessions, I wish I could win a spot!
