Why Retreat With Us?
Because sometimes you need to step away to return inspired.
Our creative retreats combine expert guidance, like-minded community, and space to breathe. You’ll be nurtured by the setting—a soulful, historic farmstead surrounded by lush gardens—as much as by the art-making itself. With delicious food, peaceful surroundings, and the time to reconnect with your creative self, this is more than a retreat—it’s a reset.
Limited spaces available, so book now to avoid disappointment
