Testimonial
I was very lucky to spend two weeks in the guest flat at Xenia, to work on a series of drawings for an artist book.
I spent my time working in the kitchen, which was the perfect environment for concentrating; the sound of running water from the nearby fountain was an apt soundtrack to my project, which takes its starting point from recent human interactions with the deep sea. Being able to take breaks to butterfly spot or pick wild strawberries could not have been more fruitful for focus.
I was lucky to be there at the same time as two other residents who were brilliant company, and the staff at Xenia are wonderfully friendly, helpful and social: I experienced all of what a retreat can offer, yet never a moment of loneliness. This precious balance at Xenia was the best I could have wished for during this time.”
