CERAMIC retreat

where earth meets sky

A 6-day ceramics retreat for women on the peaceful grounds of Bethanie in the Normandy countryside. Designed to be both creative and restful, we’ll spend our days working with clay, exploring form and texture, and preparing our pieces for a collaborative Raku firing day with a guest ceramic artist from Caen, France. Every day we'll make space for shared meals, creative work, conversation, and rest.

This is an invitation to be slow, work with your hands, and connect with God and each other.
