My intention with every retreat, tour, and workshop is to inspire creativity, nurture connection, and empower transformation through mindful gatherings that honor wisdom, spark joy, and celebrate the art of renewal.

A space has opened up in my spring tour with The Blue Walk. You can click here to go directly to their registration page, or keep reading for all the juicy details.

Each day of our retreat is a gentle unfolding of inspiration and connection. Our days are spent between mindful creativity, as we gather to create, reflect, and share in the sanctuary of our journals, and exploration—wandering along the streets of Paris or through the famous flea markets collecting stories and mementos that spark our imaginations. Each day is a celebration of community, where laughter and heartfelt conversations weave bonds that linger long after our time together ends.

Immerse yourself in the beauty, culture, and history of Paris, while creating your own one-of-a-kind vintage travel journal. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll journey through picturesque Paris arrondissements, open air markets, and historic sites and museums, gathering inspiration and unique vintage materials along the way. Using vintage books, antique papers, ephemera, and found objects, you’ll craft a bespoke journal that captures the essence of your travels.

From Paris’ bustling streets to the beauty of the her iconic monuments, every detail of your adventure will come alive on the pages of your vintage travel journal. I’ll show you my favorite creative journaling techniques, blending mixed media art with personal reflections, while discovering the beauty of preserving memories in a meaningful, artistic way.
