Experience the Luxury of Simplicity

Designed to introduce you to English craftsmanship, regional cooking techniques, and the best antique markets in the British Isles, our Cotswolds holiday is all about delving into the simple, quiet life in this enchanting part of the world.

Join Chloe from Boxwood Avenue and Jaime Zehner from JZ Interiors to wander ancient paths through the rolling hills and meadows and meander the lanes of charming villages.


Spaces are limited for this extraordinary retreat – so reserve your spot today to embark on a journey of a lifetime.

Having made an instant connection at an industry event years ago, Chloe and Jamie have since traveled together throughout Europe, nurturing both their friendship and the mutual love of living with intention.

Together, they have created the perfect escape in the English countryside: incredible antiques, thoughtful design, and a place to slow down and reconnect with nature – and with yourself.

More than just a vacation, this retreat is designed to fill you with inspiration and leave you feeling at peace.

We’d love for you to…come away with us!

The Trip

Whether it is quaint and slow-living away from the bustle of the city, or the immaculate pairing of pattern and traditional design, the Cotswolds embody what it means to live more meaningfully.

This trip isn’t just about travel. It’s about connecting with nature and history, learning how to make meaning out of ordinary experiences, and beginning a journey toward a more purposeful lifestyle.
