I’m excited to share that I'll be collaborating with Elaine Kingett, writer and course leader of creative writing retreat Write it Down, to co-host a retreat at Finca Buenvino in Andalucia, Spain in June and August next year!
I joined Elaine's retreat in 2022 (pic of us below) for a week of journalling, meditation, hikes, swims in their infinity pool and meals cooked by Jeannie and her son Charlie Chesterton, the family who have been living at Buenvino for over 40 years, and immediately felt that it would be a perfect setting to to teach The Calm Kitchen class - about mindfulness through eating and creating a peaceful and easy relationship with food. Enjoying a week of home-cooked meals and local wines in a beautiful home setting allows you to completely relax and focus on you.
I'm delighted that Elaine said yes to my idea to do this together and we've been planning Write and Savour since the summer!

New people and places are what keep me alive
