THE ART OF SEEING BEAUTY IN ALL THINGS

A note from us

🌺 In case you don’t know both of us — hello!
I’m Irene, and Violette is one of my dearest friends (we met baking 4 years ago🥹). We’re coming together to create this retreat, and thought you might want to know a tiny bit more about who’s behind it...

🥐 Hi, I’m Violette — I’m 26, and I’ve been baking professionally for five years now.
I studied graphic design in Brussels, but after three years, I moved to London and followed my real passion: baking. I started off making cakes and vegan sweets, and somehow that journey led me to the Netherlands — where I now spend my days folding butter into croissant dough and falling in love with pastry all over again.

✨ What it includes:

• Flights

• 6 nights of accommodation in Violette’s family home

• The house is fully equipped with a kitchen and outdoor BBQ, one cozy living room upstairs, and 3 bedrooms downstairs: two with double beds, and one with four single beds — so we’ll be sharing rooms and making space like a close-knit family

• One indoor bathroom with toilet and shower, plus an outdoor shower under the stars

• Food for the house – breakfast, coffee, snacks, shared dinners

• Car rental & gas

• Daily workshops and masterclasses — floral design, baking, table styling, and more

• Beach afternoons, mountain walks, sunset rituals, shared meals under the stars

PLAN 🌹

Here’s what our days together might look like. Of course, things can shift depending on how we’re all feeling — but this is the rhythm we’ll follow as we move through the week, one shared theme at a time.

✨ 15 September – Welcoming Something New

You’ll arrive in Tyros, settle into the house, unpack, and exhale.
We’ll gather for drinks and dinner at home, and officially begin our time together with a welcome moment.
We’ll hand you your retreat notebooks and share how everything will work — nothing strict, just a soft structure to hold our days.

🌸 16 September – How to Decompress Your Body

This day is all about softening, arriving fully, and coming back to yourself. We'll explore how to relax and access that quiet “artist flow state” in everyday life.

We’ll begin with a morning yoga and sauna session, guided by a professional, to gently awaken the body and clear the mind. Afterwards, we’ll gather for a nourishing, calmed breakfast at the house — slow, simple, and shared.

Late morning, Irene will guide a flower workshop — a gentle introduction to floristry. You’ll learn how to create a table bouquet, and explore the play between colours, shapes, and flower varieties.

Afterwards, we’ll share a light lunch at home, followed by a gentle siesta — time just for you, to rest, read, or simply be.

In the late afternoon, we’ll gather again for an open conversation on the patio about wellness and slowing down.

As the sun begins to set, we’ll take a walk through the village, and end the day with dinner at the local cantina, letting the rhythm of the place carry us.

🥐 17 September – How to Nourish Your Soul

How do we speak to our bodies — and what are our bodies trying to tell us?

We’ll begin the day with a long, slow breakfast, easing into the morning as Violette leads a masterclass on how we connect to food and care — an invitation to listen more deeply to what we need, and how nourishment can become an act of love.

After breakfast, we’ll set off for a hike to a secret beach or a boat trip, with little bonding games and a picnic lunch along the way — time to connect, move, laugh, and be held by nature.

Back at home, we’ll enjoy another gentle siesta, giving space for reflection and rest.

In the late afternoon, Violette will guide a special baking workshop featuring edible flowers — a moment to create beauty with our hands and senses.

We’ll end this soulful day with a relaxed BBQ dinner at the house, under the stars.

🍷 18 September – The Art of Hosting

This day is all about creating a beautiful, calm space around you — a sanctuary where your loved ones can truly enjoy and thrive. We’ll also explore how to protect your aura and hold your energy gently.

We’ll start by greeting the sunrise with coffee and breakfast by the sea, soaking in the quiet magic of the early morning.

Lunch will be a relaxed affair at the beach, enjoying local olives and cheeses as we connect with the place and each other.

Later, we’ll return to the house to rest and refresh, before gathering for a tablescape workshop as the light softens — led by Irene. Full of fun and creativity, you’ll learn how to decorate a table for hosting, from the linens to floral and vegetable arrangements... and fruits, too!

In the evening, we’ll dress up for a special dinner at our beautifully styled table. Afterward, we’ll linger into the night with music — whether that’s singing, swaying, or simply listening under the stars.

🌹 19 September – How to Speak Your Feminine

This day invites quiet reflection and creative exploration — a necessary pause for powerful women.

We’ll come together for a workshop on how to transmute ideas, skills, feelings, and desires into money — discovering how to be the captain of your soul and make decisions that align with your ideal life.

After the workshop, we’ll rest and recharge, before gathering for an open conversation on the patio about beauty — exploring how each of us defines and experiences it in our own unique lives.

🌕 20 September – How to See Beauty in All Things

Our final day is a beautiful wrap — a chance to appreciate the art of wonder in everyday life.

We’ll start with yoga and sauna to gently return to our bodies and ground ourselves.

Then, together, we’ll reflect on what we’re taking home from this retreat — how to celebrate our wins, honour the lessons learned, and continue creating beauty long after we leave.

We’ll exchange little letters and share what has truly moved us during our time together.

To close this magical journey, we’ll take a moonlit walk and a refreshing sea bath under the stars.

✈️ 21 September – Travel Home

A soft goodbye. Full hearts. Sea salt in your hair.
