Whether you're a seasoned artist or holding pastels for the first time, this journey is designed to reconnect you with nature, creativity, and yourself.

Location: Lauterbrunnen Valley

Nestled between sheer cliffs and 72 waterfalls, Lauterbrunnen is one of the most magical places in Europe — so much so that it inspired Tolkien’s vision of Rivendell. Autumn transforms this valley into a canvas of golden trees, snow-dusted peaks, and crisp mountain air. It’s not just a destination — it’s a muse.

What's included in your £1,200 package

  • 5 nights at Hotel Staubbach (shared twin room)

  • Daily breakfast

  • Private group transfer from/to Basel Airport

  • Daily pastel painting workshops with a professional artist

  • All art supplies (easels, soft pastels, high-quality paper, stools, etc.)

  • Evening programs: creative games, mindful conversations, and shared inspiration

  • Full support from your experienced host throughout the journey

Meet your instructor

Our workshops are led by a professional artist and educator with over 15 years of experience in expressive landscape art. You’ll receive hands-on guidance and personalized support, no matter your skill level.

Optional excursions (extra cost)

Want to explore beyond the valley? We offer unforgettable add-ons:

  • Guided day trip to Bern – old town walk, Rose Garden view, local museums

  • Visit to the Basel Art Museum

  • Traditional Swiss fondue tasting

  • Cable car trip to Lake Oeschinensee

  • Panoramic ride to Wengen & Männlichen (2,200m) – epic views of Jungfrau, Mönch & Eiger

  • Scenic stroll through Grindelwald – a storybook alpine village

Bringing kids?

Children are welcome — and will enjoy their own creative program!

  • Under 6: just £30 total (3rd guest in room with crib)

  • 6+: £700 (shared room with parent) or £450 (3rd guest in triple room)

    Art workshops can be arranged depending on group composition and age.

Limited Spaces Available - secure your spot today!

The Sussex Spring Weekend Retreat

24th - 26th April 2026.

The Sussex Spring Weekend Retreat, Friday 24th - Sunday 26th April 2026.

Located on the beach in Ferring - a peaceful coastal village in Sussex, near Worthing.

We can’t wait to welcome you.

While most people were wrapped up warm inside, with cosy layers and cups of tea, on
an icy, windy day two Decembers ago, Ylva (Yoga with Ylva) and Caz (CJYoga) went to
visit a beachside house.

Two houses actually. Footsteps away from each other, joined by one large landscaped
garden which opens up to the beach, and a swimming pool.

With bright, beautiful rooms, sea views, quiet spaces suited to meditations, an open plan
light kitchen and big dining spaces, we knew we wanted to do something here.

But it didn’t suit the theme of our Winter Wellness Retreats.
So a new retreat was born... the Sussex Spring Weekend Retreat.
Find out more info

You can also expect:

  • Sea swims

  • Yoga in the sun

  • Sound bath

  • Small meditation circles

  • Journaling

  • Seaside walks

  • Peaceful reading

  • Gentle self-enquiry

  • Poolside chats and dips if the weather is nice

  • Connection, laughter & joy

    All fuelled by meals prepared onsite for you by Field Foods; a local company with a passion

    for soul- and soil-enriching food, working with local producers who respect the environment,

    and using seasonal ingredients when they are abundant and the flavours are at their peak.

    Yum!

Prices per person:

SOLD OUT: Private room with ensuite bathroom: £635pp

● Private room with shared bathroom: £615pp

● Twin room with ensuite bathroom: £535pp

● Twin room with shared bathroom: £515pp

Friday 24th – Sunday 26th April 2026 | Ferring, Sussex

Two years ago, on a cold and windy December day, Ylva (Yoga with Ylva) and Caz (CJYoga) discovered a hidden gem on the Sussex coast. Not one, but two beautiful beachside houses joined by a landscaped garden, just steps from the sea. With bright rooms, sea views, meditation spaces, a pool, and a light-filled kitchen, they knew it was too special not to share.

And so, the Sussex Spring Weekend Retreat was born. 🌸

What to Expect

A nourishing weekend of:

  • Morning yoga

  • Sea swims & seaside walks

  • Sound baths & meditation circles

  • Journaling & gentle self-enquiry

  • Poolside chats (and dips, if the weather’s kind!)

  • Space for peaceful reading & reflection

  • Connection, laughter, and joy

All meals are lovingly prepared by Field Foods, a local company passionate about soil- and soul-enriching food. They work with Sussex producers and use seasonal ingredients at their very best. Delicious, nourishing, and sustainable.

Prices per person:

  • SOLD OUT: Private room with ensuite bathroom: £635pp

Whether you’ve been collecting records for years or you’re just vinyl-curious, this event is all about creating a welcoming, pressure-free space to connect with like-minded women and music lovers.

We’ll have the entire shop to ourselves from 7–9 PM, with drinks flowing (1 drink included in the ticket price), great tunes spinning, and a chance to share stories, swap music tips, or even pick up a new record or two.
