A note from
Join me this spring on the beautiful island of Menorca as we craft our way through five days of creative outlets. I truly believe creative outlets have the power to really ground us. Whether it is tactile lino printing or fragrant incense making we will steadily create various items that can be used around your home to help showcase your individual style and story. Retreats are always a transformational time to connect inwards and hone our creative intuition and I hope that inner confidence will travel home with you for a long time to come.
This isn't just for experienced arts and craft lovers. I'll guide you through each activity catering for all levels while we chat and laugh our way through lots of different group and individual activities.

Mahón
ADD-ON EXPERIENCE
Spend two nights in Mahón, the charming capital of Menorca, perched on the island’s eastern coast. Known for its impressive natural harbor—one of the largest in the world—Mahón blends maritime history with Mediterranean charm. The town features elegant Georgian architecture, narrow cobbled streets, and lively markets, reflecting its British and Spanish heritage. Visitors can explore historic sites like the Church of Santa Maria with its famous organ, the 18th-century Fort Marlborough, and the bustling fish market (Mercat des Peix), now home to tapas bars and local vendors.
We’ll stay at a designer boutique hotel, enjoy a guided tour as well as a visit to a local art gallery. We’ll have dinner the second night at a well-loved local restaurant to sample the island’s incredible flavours.
