This retreat is for those who long to create a unique home but feel overwhelmed by choice, are tired of trends and crave more meaningful connections with the spaces they inhabit. Stepping away from constant notifications and curated feeds, you move into a slower, richer, natural rhythm where design ideas grow from a personal connection with nature and where real conversations happen around the fire, not in a chat thread. ​

​

​Surrounded by nature in the heart of the Lake District National Park, you will slow your pace, inhale fresh air and connect with like-minded souls. As you immerse yourself in nature’s wisdom, you will learn how to reflect your unique connection

and experience of the natural world  into the design of your own home.

This week will teach you the tools to design a home that feels alive, soulful, and deeply personal.

• Are you tired of having design trends spoon fed to you?
