A Room of Your Own — 7 Day Women’s Creative Retreat (Phone-Free), France

A Room of Your Own is an invitation to rest deeply, reconnect with yourself, and inhabit a quieter way of being — together.

Set in a beautifully restored mill just outside Paris, this women’s creative retreat unfolds at a slower, more spacious pace. It’s a gently held week designed for rest as much as creativity, shared within a small circle of six women.

With all rooms single occupancy, you’ll have a private place that is entirely your own — somewhere to rest and return to throughout the day. From there, you’re free to follow your own rhythm: writing or reading, making or walking, unrolling your yoga mat, wandering the fields, touching the piano keys, or sitting by the river and watching the light change.

The open studio is always available, stocked with paints, brushes, printing presses, sewing machines, collage materials, and simple tools for playful making. If you’re unsure where to begin, you’re welcome simply to step inside — you’ll likely find Kate there too, quietly making something of her own.

Shared meals, gentle conversation, and comfortable silences create a sense of community without expectation or performance.

For the duration of the retreat, phones are turned off and kept safely by Kate. This shared arrangement allows participants to fully rest, knowing that responsibility for any urgent “what if” is gently held on their behalf. An emergency contact number is always available for family and friends.

This is a retreat where you’re held by the place, the people, and the shared permission to slow down.
