Written as a keepsake, adorned with quotes and threaded with enchantment, this brochure will arrive to you as a storybook map to wonderment

Dearest enchanted ones,

Today I place into your (virtual!) hands not merely a brochure, but a little book of longing, a keepsake of promise, and a whisper of all that is to come at my Take Me To The Lakes Retreat in June 2026.

The Academy of the Enchanted Arts is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Take Me To The Lakes is no ordinary retreat, and so its introduction could never be confined to ordinary paper or a simple digital download!

Oh no, instead, I want to create a brochure that feels like it has been spun like a thread the Romantics would be proud of, stitched with poetry, and scattered with hints of the dream-world we will enter together in June 2026.

In an age where our fingertips brush endlessly against glowing screens and words vanish as quickly as they appear, I wanted to create something you might actually hold close, not just clutter on your desktop, but instead, perhaps something that might sit on your nightstand or be slipped between the pages of a book, ready to catch your eye and stir your heart.

This is why the Take Me To The Lakes brochure exists. Not just as a collection of details, but as a treasure map.

Inside you will find the full itinerary, from John Ruskin’s beloved Brantwood, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top, the homes and words of Wordsworth and Coleridge, and even an evening woven through with the music of Taylor Swift’s Folklore and The Lakes. You’ll also uncover the history of our accomodation, Lanehead, the setting on Arthur Ransome’s ‘Swallows and Amazons’!

Each page is a promise that we will walk where poets walked, listen where dreamers listened, and let ourselves be claimed by the soul of the Lake District.

Written as a keepsake, adorned with quotes and threaded with enchantment, it will arrive to you as though a little book of its own, a storybook map to the Lake District where beauty, friendship, and inspiration await.

So beloved enchanted one, this brochure is my gift to you, and a way for you to begin the retreat before you even arrive as a way to yearn, to anticipate and to prepare your soul for the enchantment awaiting.

If you wish for your own copy, simply click here to download it for free, and I will hot-press it send it to your inbox!

May it become not just an invitation, but a keepsake of your own inner longing for poetry, beauty, and belonging.

I now can’t wait to begin plotting the second wondrous keepsake and treasure hunt idea I have….all to be revealed!

Until then, always, with love and enchantment,
Georgie xoxo
