Women’s Walking Retreat
Jaime Fenwick & Greta Eskridge
September 5-13, 2026
Only 8 of 10 spots left and only one of two private rooms still available!
Join Jaime Fenwick & Greta Eskridge on a village-to-village walk through the heart of the English countryside.
Experience soul-care, connection, and adventure with a small group of women who value natural beauty, restorative rest, and authentic relationships.
A Note from Greta…
Last September I said yes to traveling to the English countryside for a walking retreat with a group of women I had never met before. I didn’t know what to expect, but I believed it would be beautiful, restful, soul filling and a grand adventure! It was all that and so much more.
The retreat exceeded my expectations in every way. My co-leader Jaime planned the most incredible trip. The accommodations, food, walks, and sights were all beyond wonderful! I am not exaggerating. It was perfect.
But the best part of the retreat was the opportunity for deep rest and deep connection. Not having to think about meals, schedules, or chores for a week was incredibly restful. As were all the peaceful walks through the gorgeous Cotswolds. Mind, body and soul found rest and refreshment. The connections made between a group of women who met as strangers and left as friends were so life giving. We laughed, cried, and prayed together over meals, cups of tea and on our walks. It was so delightful.
If you are looking for a space to celebrate, connect, heal, rest, refresh, be inspired, or all of the above, join us on our next Women’s Walking Retreat in the Cotswolds. We can’t wait to meet you!

A Note from Jaime…
As a photographer and travel enthusiast, I fell in love with long-distance walking in the English countryside during my first visit to the Cotswolds in 2017.
As a homeschooling mom with young children, I realized the value in offering other women the opportunity to break from busy routines in order to heal from the past, dream for the future, and be fully immersed in the present.
In 2022, I began leading Women’s Walking Retreats through this stunning region, and in the fall of 2025, had the pleasure of co-leading a retreat with Greta Eskridge. Greta’s spiritual depth, wisdom, and warmth permeated every aspect of the retreat and her delight in all details spread joy throughout the group.
The connection, adventure, and healing God allowed us to witness was transformative, and we are delighted to offer this experience to another small group of women in the fall of 2026.
Greta and I are praying for each of the ten guests who will book a spot, and are excited for the inspiration and restoration the Lord has in store for them.
We can’t wait to adventure with you in the Cotswolds!
