Are you interested in learning how to make delicious sourdough bread or to refine your existing skill set? 

This retreat is for both experienced and novice bakers. Join us at Firecreek Retreat for a nourishing weekend of baking, nature, and renewal, guided by baker and owner of Hungry Ghost Bread, Jonathan Stevens, in partnership with Sourhouse. 

Learn the art and rhythm of bread making, from starter to loaf, while also savoring the grounding beauty of the Blue Ridge. Between bakes, enjoy hikes through the surrounding trails, invigorating hydrotherapy, fireside chats and storytelling, and time to rest and sink into the land here at Firecreek. We’ll be learning to create bolted wheat bread, white herbed bread, crackers, scones, pizza, fougasse, and leavened pasta.

Hungry Ghost Bread is a renowned bakery in Northampton, MA, specializing in old-world artisan breads made from organically grown grains and leavened with sourdough. Sourhouse inspires people to bake more sourdough bread by creating thoughtfully designed baking tools and inviting people to bake more often.

A retreat for both body and spirit—come hungry for knowledge, connection, and wonderful bread.
