October 21–25, 2026 · Shepherd's Retreat, Leander TX
A fiber-arts retreat with 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

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

Meals that comfort the soul

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.
Save your seat
We mail quietly — expect dates, menu notes, packing suggestions, and the occasional picture from the pond. Registration details sent to the list first.
