two places have become available in the only fully residential retreat I will be leading this year, in beautiful Bretagne - Brittany, on the shining edge of the shimmering Atlantic Ocean.
this is one of the thin places of the whirled, where it feels as if you could easily step from this one to the next.
the layers of history are dense and complex :: at our accommodation there is a fig tree with a girth so big it seems as though it could have been planted by a returning crusader
at the foot of the garden there is a path winding down to a burbling stream that wanders through a faerie-tale forest, the kind in which you expect to see unicorns leaping lightly over fallen logs or to find a strand of Melisande's hair
our workshop is called 'longing(be)longing' and will take us deeply into the investigation of the poetics of this place, one that seems to allow us to see further, hear more clearly and feel more deeply.
time slows in this place.
we will be hand stitching and dyeing, making a journal and capturing poetry as it drifts in on the breeze.
all meals are provided by our chef Geraldine (a specialist in mindful eating)
and at night, the Atlantic Ocean will sing you to sleep.
does this sound like something you need?
please contact Claire des Bruyeres to secure your place.
