This collaboration was born out of a desire to go deeper — into the craft, into the process, and into the conversations that often begin but feel too brief in a two-day setting. Over the years of teaching woodworking, we’ve seen how much more students gain when they have time to sit with the tools, ask questions, make mistakes, and try again.


This 5 day immersion at Mannmuqi Farms offers just that: space to slow down, learn intentionally, and work with your hands in a setting that invites focus and reflection.
 

You’ll follow a structured curriculum that covers the fundamentals of woodworking — from understanding wood and joinery to crafting precise, functional pieces like small furniture or storage objects. 
 

This retreat is for anyone curious about making — whether you're a total beginner, looking for a creative way to spend the holidays, or simply craving a quieter kind of break.



We hope you leave not just with something you built, but with the confidence to keep building and a sense of calm.
