A feature session with Simone from The Cupcake Floristry will be a highlight of the week, Simone’s cupcake work is stunning , while bringing a new class to New Zealand.

Photography woven throughout
Rather than structured classes, photography is layered gently through the days, styling what we make, capturing the landscape, learning to see light differently. It's learning without the pressure.

Out into the landscape
We'll step away for a day to explore the region ,a winery lunch, a visit to a local lavender farm, and time to simply enjoy where we are.

Shared meals and slow mornings
A chef will prepare meals throughout the retreat, A few evenings we'll gather around the table, others are left open with space to rest, reflect, or connect in your own way.

The final night
We'll come together for a relaxed, hands-on dinner to close our time together.
