5 reasons why you should come to a creative knitting retreat
Solène Le Roux
Have you ever thought of coming to a creative knitting retreat?
Here are 5 reasons why you should definitely attend one!
Number 1: You will recharge your creative energy for the rest of the year
When you come to a retreat, you get to spend a whole week dedicated to your creativity!
You get personnalized coaching on the project you chose to knit, so you can challenge yourself with learning a new technique, or just spend a relaxing meditative week seeing your project grow each day on your needles.
There are also reflection and discussion times where you can share your experience with others, find inspiration in their stories and reconnect with your most creative side.
Number 2: You will meet amazing people and make long-lasting friendships
At creative knitting retreats, we are always a very diverse group of people, from different ages, countries, origins, but we are all here for the same reason: We love knitting!
If you have a hard time finding people to connect with, finding places where you belong and can share passionnately about your craft, well, this is the perfect place.
We all know that knitting brings people together, and with the small group experience, you are sure to get to know each person, to create deep connections and make long-lasting friends.
Number 3: You will get to knit for hours and hours uninterrupted
At a retreat, you have no obligations, no chores, no family members to interrupt you, no need to say "One more row" because you can keep going all day long and knit all the rows that you want!
Knitting is the art of slow, so it's so powerful to dedicate a whole week to it. It will heal your body and soul, recharge your energy and make you feel super happy and relaxed when you get home.
Number 4: You will discover inspiring local wool traditions
Because it's amazing to learn more about a region through its local traditions, at each retreat you will get to visit a local shop, farm or mill.
You will meet with the passionnate people who create these gorgeous local natural yarns, learn more about their story, their work.
And you will of course get to knit their yarn during the retreat!
Number 5: You deserve it
It's hard to take time for yourself, to dedicate it to your growth, your well-being and your creativity.
But it is also necessary.
As artists, we need to find moments where we can express ourselves. We need to connect with like-minded people who will understand us and encourage us to be fully ourselves.
A retreat provides that space for you and you do deserve it because you deserve to feel good, energized, creative, happy, relaxed, safe, heard, accepted and many more good things!
So, are you ready?
I'm hosting two retreats in the Spring, in Donegal, Ireland in April 2020 and Brittany, France in June 2020.
