Our unique creativity retreats focus on self-expression, self-awareness, and self-confidence.
No art experience is needed; they’re about being inspired and expressing yourself through art,
Discover your inner artist and connect with yourself, other women, and nature through art.
Open your heart and rediscover YOU!
Escape to the peaceful countryside in Normandy France for a mind, body, soul experience from creative women to women.
Connect with yourself and other women through art. So many of us doubt our creativity only to make fabulous things once we let go! Remember there is no art experience needed.
It’s all about self-expression, you will not be judged or critiqued here.
Creating art is perhaps the most fun way to cultivate present moment awareness so just be in the moment,
let go and enjoy this new creative adventure.
