An Exclusive Autumn Retreat Invitation for Alumni & Club Members

Dear Allumni and Club members,

This October, The Sourdough School is hosting a Bake for Health Retreat. Over six immersive days, you’ll bake, learn, and reflect with Vanessa in the School kitchen, exploring how bread can truly nourish. While enjoying seasonal meals, mill visits, and time to reset in the autumn garden.

This invitation is reserved exclusively for existing students and Sourdough Club members. As a thank-you for your ongoing support and commitment to the School, we are offering a £1000 alumni voucher toward your place on the retreat, a recognition of your continued engagement with our community. The retreat price will now be £999 for eligible participants.

The retreat begins next week (Tuesday 14th October), and with only a few places remaining, we encourage you to get in touch soon if you’d like to join us.

To secure one of the final spaces, please email Vanessa directly at [email protected] or on WhatsApp: +44 (0) 7813 308301. Places are limited and will be offered on a first-come basis.

Retreat Details

We would be delighted to welcome you this autumn.

Best wishes,
Vanessa & The Sourdough Team
