Take Me To The Lakes:
A Retreat for Dreamers, Artists & Seekers of Wonder
Take Me To The Lakes is my heart, made visible: a sanctuary for wandering, tender souls, a storybook retreat cradled in the soul of the Lake District.
Step into a living storybook, where misted fells meet silver lakes, where poetry drifts through gardens and melodies linger in sunlit rooms.
Here, the air itself feels enchanted, and every corner of Lanehead, Coniston (the home of Arthur Ransome's 'Swallows and Amazons') whispers of artists, poets, and dreamers who have wandered these hills before you.
Over five days, you will:
🌿 Stroll the wildflower gardens of Hill Top, Beatrix Potter’s beloved home.
🌿 Hear the verses of Wordsworth with private tours of Grasmere and Rydal Mount nestled where imagination first took flight.
🌿 Wander Brantwood, Ruskin’s lakeside sanctuary, and feel the pulse of creativity that shaped generations.
🌿 Savour meals inspired by the pastoral charm of the Lake District, lovingly crafted to delight your senses.
🌿 Let music, literature, art, and the gentle hum of nature sing you back to yourself.
By the time you leave, your heart will be full, your senses awakened, and your soul quietly reawakened to wonder.
You will carry with you not only the echoes of a landscape alive with inspiration, but a deeper remembering: that life can still be magical, and that enchantment waits to be discovered in every quiet, tender moment.
So, enchanted one, step through the door and let me take you to the lakes.....because, not without you my muse.
A Little Note From Your Host
Hi, I'm Georgie (she/her)
Let's discover the Lake's Enchantment together
Hi, I’m Georgie, founder of 'Academy Of The Enchanted Arts', former founder of internationally renowned handmade hair accessory boutique 'Beauxoxo', curator of the enchanted living blog 'Georgie xoxo' and a mentor for creative soulful entrepreneurs.
Once upon a time, whilst deeply unsatisfied with my rigid art and music history education, coupled with managing spiralling chronic health conditions and an unaligned University environment, I became deeply depressed and longed to open my own online school that focussed on the symbiotic relationship between the arts.
Fast forward to today, I'm now on a deeply personal mission to inspire creative, highly-sensitive and enchanted souls just like you to experience arts education steeped in enchantment so that you are able to enter into a world of deep reverence and awe.
When I hear a piece of music, or when I look at a great work of art, to me it's a portal to the divine through the door that the artists have left open.
For me, enchantment is no mere fanciful notion. Its roots lie in the Latin incantare, to sing, to call forth, to awaken. This is the essence of what I stand for: to guide and help others to rediscover awe in a world that too often feels disenchanted, to experience the transformative magic of creativity, and to find portals of wonder in the arts.
I believe the arts are among the greatest mirrors we have, reflecting back the beauty, the mystery, and the sacredness that still lingers in our lives.
Here, in the heart of the Lake District, where fells rise like gentle guardians and lakes hold reflections of sky and soul alike, I invite you to wander with me.
To be reminded that the world is still full of wonder, that your own heart is still capable of marvel, and that through beauty, story, and creativity, you can be sung back to life.
If even a spark of this resonates, I know we were meant to meet. I cannot wait to welcome you into the Academy and to the Lakes where your soul is seen, celebrated, and illuminated by enchantment.
