October 21–25, 2026 · Shepherd's Retreat, Leander TX

Fibers and Threads featuring Cathe Holden

Five days of stitching, still mornings, homecooked meals on a decorated table, and the kind of quiet you only find on eight acres of oak-shaded land.

What’s included

Expert-led workshops

Hands-on sessions with Cathe Holden. Bring your curiosity; she brings the project and the patience.

Project materials + gifts

Custom materials for each workshop and a few thoughtful surprises tucked in along the way.

Meals that comfort the soul

Warm breakfasts, charcuterie afternoons, and a closing dinner with the evening string lights — all on-site, all included.

Room to breathe

Flexibility built in. Wander the property, read under an oak, nap through the afternoon. The schedule holds space on purpose.

Getting here

Thirty minutes north of Austin

Shepherd’s Retreat sits on eight acres along Brushy Creek in Leander, Texas. The closest airport is Austin-Bergstrom International (AUS). Airport transportation isn’t included in the retreat fee — rideshare, rental car, or buddying up with another guest all work.
