• Intuitive Design Retreat

    9th to 14th July 2025 - Halki Island - Greece

  • Intuitive Design

    Crochet as a path of self-expression

    Intuitive Design Retreat was born from a sincere desire to share everything I’ve learned, refined, and developed over the past 10 years as a crochet wedding designer and maker:

    ✧ Simple yet powerful design tools and strategies for creating intricate crochet pieces.
    ✧ Practices to help you listen to your inner voice.
    ✧ And the confidence to trust the wild visions that rise from within.

    This is a 5-day gathering, from the 9th to the 14th of July, to remember and reactivate our authentic creative voice, our hands–heart centre, and our inner wisdom. A return.

  • Over the course of 5 days we will:

    ✧ Explore design techniques to shape your ideas while trusting your creative intuition.
    ✧ Discover practices that make space for unique ideas to emerge.
    ✧ Learn to transform a spark of inspiration into a piece with soul.
    ✧ Enjoy delicious Greek food.
    ✧ Find inspiration in breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and the peaceful rhythm of Halki.

    The Island

    Halki is a hidden gem in the Mediterranean. Its beauty isn’t just visual - it’s something you feel deep inside.


    Something almost mystical awoke in me the first time I arrived. I felt like I was falling more deeply in love with myself.


    Wandering its colourful stone alleyways made me breathe beauty and become a version of myself I didn’t yet know - my muse.


    And each time I entered the sea, it felt like The Great Mother was embracing me.

    This generous place is now calling me to take you there, to guide you back to the pleasure of deep listening and radical honesty, so you can experience the intimate satisfaction of making something that feels truly yours, and find the creative freedom you’ve been longing for.

    “I feel deeply grateful for this moment that life is giving us. To gather in one of the most beautiful places on earth. To open our hearts and truly listen. And to honour the visions that want to be born through us, finding creative freedom through what we love, in a curated, beautiful, and safe space.”

  • What we'll do together

    ✧ Learn design techniques adapted to your level.

    ✧ Practice tuning into your intuition.

    ✧ Translate a story, feeling, or image into a one-of-a-kind piece.

    ✧ Work with fibre as a language: expressive, intuitive, alive.

    ✧ Sit in circle and ceremony.

    ✧ Swim, rest, walk, eat well, slow down, and remember your creative potential.

    "Halki’s generous spirit will hold you, offering the space to open, soften, and receive."

  • “This retreat is not a crochet workshop. It’s not just a holiday. It’s an initiation into the art of intuitive design. A one-time offering. A transmission of everything I’ve lived and learned. A celebration of my 10 years as an intuitive designer. A portal for those who are ready.”

    The backstory

    For years I worked as a freelance designer, creating crochet patterns for the best magazines and yarn brands around the world.

    I loved the community, the industry, seeing my work on front covers. There was so much potential, especially if I had chosen to self-publish my own patterns.

    But that wasn’t my story...

    Why would I give you rules to follow and designs made to fit all, when I went from knowing just three stitches to making my first full-length crochet dress in four weeks?

    Our potential is limitless.

    So I stepped back. I said no to big opportunities. It wasn’t easy, but I trusted, because my most aligned work has always come from deep integrity.

    That’s how the idea of gathering women from around the world in Greece was born.

  • This is for you if you...

    ✧ Are tired of following rules, instructions, and patterns.
    ✧ Feel uninspired by recreating the same designs as everyone else.
    ✧ Want to express your uniqueness through fibre.
    ✧ Have ideas but don’t know how to bring them to life.
    ✧ Trust that weaving is an ancestral memory we carry.
    ✧ Want to create whatever you imagine, no matter your technical level.

    You are welcome to the retreat if...

    ✧ You know basic stitches (chain, single, double) and want to go further.

    ✧ You've followed patterns but never dared to design.

    ✧ You've already created simple pieces and are curious about more complex ones.

    ✧ You are confident in creating intricate pieces and want to explore new ways of working.

    ✧ Even if you don’t know how to crochet yet, but feel a strong call and are committed to learning the basics before the retreat, you’ll be welcomed (if that’s you, by signing up for the retreat I’ll guide you to the right online tutorials in a curated free PDF, and you’ll be able to book as many one-hour Zoom sessions with me as you need, at half price – US$75 – to help you get started.).

  • At the end of "Intuitive Design" you will be...

    • Trusting your creative visions, even the big, bold ones, instead of waiting to feel ‘ready enough’.
    • Equipped with simple, powerful design techniques you can use again and again to bring your ideas to life.
    • More attuned to your body’s signals, using them as a compass in your creative process.
    • Holding renewed confidence in yourself and your ability to create something deeply personal and meaningful.
    • Letting go of fear, knowing that you don’t have to figure it all out, something greater is moving through you when you create from within.
    • Finally able to design your own pieces, not just follow someone else’s pattern.
    • Able to turn a story, a feeling, or a memory into something real you can hold in your hands.
    • Enjoying the pleasure of your own creative freedom.
