East Sooke Winter Knitting Retreat 2025

Join us for a peaceful weekend of knitting, community, and renewal. This intimate retreat is designed to help you slow down, reflect, and connect—with your craft, with yourself, and with fellow makers.

Over three days, we’ll gather in a supportive circle to stitch, take care of ourselves, and exploring both the meditative and joyful aspects of knitting in this gorgeous 4600 sq ft home on the waterfront. Between stitches, you’ll have space for reading, nature walks, and meaningful connection.

The Vibe

  • Group Project: A kit for a cozy hat we’ll knit together, step by step (feel free to bring your current work-in-progress, too)

  • Knitting Circles: Time to knit together in a warm, supportive atmosphere

  • Reflection & Peace: Opportunities to journal, share insights, and read in peace

  • Daily Yoga: Gentle stretches to keep hands and wrists refreshed (with a focus on seated, accessible movement for all bodies of all ages)

  • Evening Meditation: Guided nidra meditation to unwind each night

  • Meals & Lodging: Nourishing seasonal food and comfortable accommodations

  • Optional Massage (additional fees apply)

Who This Retreat Is For?

This retreat is perfect for knitters of all levels who want to slow down and enjoy a restorative, mindful weekend. Whether you’re looking for quiet reflection, new connections, or simply time to knit without distraction, you’ll find space here.
