Thank you for joining A Spring Gathering with Kathryn Hastings in Tribeca, New York City. Over two days filled with quiet beauty, thoughtful conversation, and the timeless art of wax seals, we shared a space devoted to renewal, intention, and creative connection.
From Friday’s teatime and guided workshop to Saturday’s full day of creative immersion, it was a joy to gather with those who find meaning in slow, deliberate craft and the enduring language of correspondence.
We are deeply grateful for your presence, your energy, and the spirit you brought into the room, and we hope you leave feeling inspired, refreshed, and gently reconnected to the beauty of making and ritual.

Seattle Workshop with Kathryn Hastings

At the end of May, five wonderful guests joined me in Seattle for a truly special two-day retreat filled with creativity, connection, and inspiration.
We began with a cozy workshop in my home studio, exploring wax seals, letter writing, and personal creative projects. It was a joy to share my process, collection, and space. Over delicious meals, we connected deeply and shared meaningful conversations.
The next day, we explored some of my favorite Seattle spots, soaking in the beauty and charm of the city together.
This retreat was a celebration of creativity, intention, and community. I’m so grateful to each of you who made it unforgettable.

Ireland Creative & Astronomical Retreat
September 23 - 28, 2024
A Creative & Astrological Retreat with Kathryn Hastings and Martha Clarke took place at the Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa in West Cork, Ireland, bringing together a small group of creatives for an immersive experience of art, reflection, and personal growth. Set against the backdrop of Ireland’s coastal beauty, the retreat offered a unique blend of hands-on wax seal and letter-writing workshops alongside astrological insight and guidance.
Across several days, guests explored their creative practice through Kathryn’s guidance in traditional wax seal artistry and Martha’s sessions on astrology, astrocartography, and self-development. The program balanced structured workshops with time for rest, local exploration, and the restorative amenities of the spa and surrounding landscape.
Designed as both an artistic and inward journey, the retreat fostered connection, inspiration, and deeper creative confidence in an intimate and supportive setting.
