Bespoke Retreats

A small campsite in a wooded area with a tiny trailer, a fire pit, and four chairs around a table, set in a forest with green trees and sunlight filtering through.

Retreats at the House at the Edge of the Woods are slow, land‑rooted, and human‑scaled. They offer room to step out of ordinary time, to be held by the woods, the hearth, and the steady companionship of others.

Each retreat has its own flavour — grief tending, witch‑remembering, or kitchen magic — but all share the same ground: ritual, beauty‑making, nourishment, and a deep bow to the living world.

Grief Retreats

A place to grieve and be held with care and beauty.
