Morepalooza London 2025 Recap: The Reset We All Needed
One Week. Lifelong Friends. Creative Fire.
Morepalooza London wasn’t just a retreat—it was a creative reset, a soul recharge, and a full-on energy boost for creative entrepreneurs ready to step into their next chapter. Over the course of a week, we dove deep into real business strategy, collaborated with some of the UK’s top creative minds, and made unforgettable memories—late-night karaoke, spontaneous market adventures, museum trips, group wellness sessions, and meals that turned strangers into lifelong friends.
From exploring Buckingham Palace to sketching business pivots in custom notebooks, attendees left with fresh ideas, powerful connections, and a reignited fire to build creative businesses built for what’s next (yes, even in an AI-driven world).
Day 1
Pre-Retreat Adventure: Stonehenge, Cotswolds & Cursed Hamburgers
Before the official kickoff, our early arrivals did London right. We loaded up a private tour bus and headed into the countryside—Stonehenge (where we debated ancient giants and aliens), through the dreamy villages of the Cotswolds, and into a cozy pub lunch at The Lamb Inn.
The day was packed with laughter, legends, incredible scenery, unexpected fudge shops, and a few Lord of the Rings references as we passed the Mines of Moria. The only miss? The infamous hamburger dinner at the hotel. Ugh. If you know, you know.
Day 2
Markets, Merch & The Morepalooza Kickoff
As more of our crew landed in London, we took to the city—Harrods, Borough Market, photo ops at London Bridge, and an Uber XL parade thanks to the tube strike.
That evening, Morepalooza officially began. The welcome dinner brought everyone together—some meeting in real life for the first time. There were hugs, hats, swag bags, and a five-course dinner that fueled connection, laughter, and the first sparks of what would become lifelong friendships.
Day 3
The Workshop, The Wisdom, The Afterparty
We kicked off the morning at Myth Studio, hosted by James Finlay and his amazing team. Then we made our way to NT’s Loft in Shoreditch for a stacked day of creative strategy and inspiration.
Workshop: Michael Janda delivered a powerful 2-hour session: Pivot or Perish: The Great Creative Reset, mapping out 7 roles creatives can evolve into to thrive in an AI-driven future.
Panel: Our afternoon lit up with an epic panel of UK creative leaders: James Martin, Will Paterson, Ian Paget, Danielle Clark, Thad Cox, James Finlay, and Danny Allen-Page. It was part business therapy, part game show, part roast—100% unforgettable.
Afterparty: Open bar. DJ. Caricature artist. Conversations that ran deep—and then turned into spontaneous jazz club stops and late-night karaoke. Because creatives know how to mix purpose with play.
Day 4
Wellness Morning, Art & the Creative Recharge
Friday morning, we slowed it down with guided breathwork, sauna, steam, and brave souls plunging into ice-cold water at the Mason & Fifth wellness spa. The vibe was grounded and rejuvenating—just what we needed.
That afternoon, we visited Frameless, an immersive art museum that transported us into animated, motion-filled versions of history’s greatest masterpieces. Mind blown. Spirits full.
Day 5
Bonus Day: Sights, Burgers & Camden Vibes
With no agenda and no pressure, Saturday became a choose-your-own-adventure. Some explored Buckingham Palace and Big Ben, others headed to Richmond, and most of us landed at Camden Market—browsing shops, eating street food, and brushing shoulders with actual punk rockers.
That night? Dinner near the hotel, full of laughter… and at least one regret about ordering penne instead of the burger. (Mike’s still talking about it.)
Day 6
Abbey Road, Notting Hill & Finally Some Fish & Chips
Sunday brought heartfelt goodbyes over breakfast at The Rug as the group slowly began to head home. But for those who stayed: A pilgrimage to Abbey Road (yes, we did the crosswalk). Then off to Notting Hill for a final round of epic fish and chips at The Castle. The energy was warm, grateful, and a little misty. No one wanted it to end.
Just a few remained on Monday. A quiet close to a loud, beautiful, unforgettable experience. The retreat was over, but the connections—those were just beginning.
Don't Miss Our Next Family Reunion Disguised As a Business Event
Morepalooza London felt like a family reunion disguised as a business event. Our crew brought their full selves—ready to learn, laugh, and lift each other up. Everyone left with new strategies, deeper clarity, and a tribe they didn’t know they needed. The only thing we’re sure of now? You don’t want to miss the next one.
Feel like you're running your creative business all alone? Not anymore.
