Five days of slow creative immersion in the hills of the French Basque Country. A small group of six women, one host, one farmhouse and a programme woven around the land, its artisans and its ancient stories.
Foraging walks and herbal workshops, ceramics with a local Basque artisan, traditional Basque cake making, a train journey through the Nive valley to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, and an evening of Basque myths told by Julie around a candle.
Each day follows a gentle rhythm: active mornings, creative afternoons, quiet evenings.
All meals are included, prepared with local and seasonal ingredients.
Sketchbooks, watercolours and writing journals are available throughout the retreat, along with walking trails directly from the house.
