Retreat
Recipes and Stories to Nourish the Creative Soul
by Laura Harris

---

For more than 15 years, artist Laura Harris has created retreats that invite people to slow down, lift their brushes, and rediscover the joy of making. This book is a collection of stories, recipes and images shaped over years of gathering, in sunlit studios and around long tables in places near and far. It’s also a return on a promise: “I’ll get you the recipes!” Retreat is for anyone who longs for time to savour, to gather, and to remember what truly feeds the body, the heart, and the imagination.
