Picture this

Slow mornings

Wake up when you wake up. There's coffee waiting and nowhere you need to be.

Good food

We'll cook together and eat together. Expect hearty, homemade meals around a big table.

Wandering conversations

The kind that start somewhere and end up somewhere completely different.

Countryside walks

If you fancy it. The area's lovely for a wander.

Real connection

The kind of conversations you're still thinking about weeks later.

Space to just be

Bring a book, bring a sketchpad, or just stare out the window.

The details

When

Saturday 10th to Monday 12th January 2026
Arrive Saturday morning, head home Monday afternoon.

Where

A shared house in the countryside near Oxford. We'll send you the details once you're confirmed.

Sleeping

Rooms are shared with 2-4 people.

Cost

Around £250-300 covers accommodation, all meals, and local transport.
Around £150-200 if you're a student or on a lower income.

It's intentionally gentle

We'll share meals together, have loose conversations, and maybe do a bit of show-and-tell if people feel like sharing something they're working on.

There's also plenty of time to just read, nap, or sit quietly.

Basically: good people, good food, and the kind of weekend that leaves you feeling a bit more alive.
