Come Away With Me
Several months ago I read about this really amazing-sounding knitting and yoga retreat. Two of my favorite activities, one of which I haven't practiced in months much to my own detriment, and the setting for one of the retreats this company offered was in Italy. Italy! I love Italy. It costs some amount of money that I can't hope to afford anytime soon. So then I thought, "what I need to do is get these people to hire me as one of the knitting teachers."
And then I realized, I could make my own retreat.
Particularly since I now work at a very lovely retreat center... it's not in Italy, but it is a beautiful mansion situated on 38 acres on a lake.
This idea has been kicking around in my head for months now, and I haven't done anything about it. Partly because I don't know if anyone would come. Or what kinds of knitting classes I should offer. Or if it should be a knitting and yoga retreat, or just a knitting retreat. Or whether it should be one night or two. Or what I should charge. Or any number of questions.
Here's what I do know: If I did it at Rolling Ridge (where I work, and therefore might be able to get a bit of a break on the room & board costs), it would probably be scheduled for a weekend in early January. Picture it: sitting by a roaring fire, munching on our famous cookies, learning new knitting skills or just kicking back after the holiday rush. Sharing delicious meals with new and old friends. Maybe taking a yoga class to help counteract the excesses of the holiday season and get the New Year off to a healthy start. Sounds good, right?
What do you think?
