Knit with Maxim, Vincent & Soraya
Join us from February 3–8, 2026, for an unforgettable knitting retreat at the stunning Parador Nature Resort and Spa in Costa Rica. Hosted by Maxim Cyr and Vincent Deslandes of Les Garçons, alongside the immensely talented Soraya García of Yedra Knits, this retreat is your chance to recharge, create, and connect in a lush tropical paradise.
You’ll explore bold, gender-inclusive design through the playful and modern lens of Maxim and Vincent—known for their vibrant aesthetic, narrative-driven collections, and thoughtfully developed yarns. With Soraya’s expert guidance, you’ll deepen your technical skills and gain insight into construction and finishing techniques that will elevate your knitting, whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned maker.
This retreat isn’t just about stitches and skeins—it’s about community, creativity, and inspiration. Come for the knitting, stay for the sunsets, the laughter, and the joy of learning together in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
