My intention is to inspire creativity, nurture connection, and empower transformation through mindful retreats that honor wisdom, spark joy, and celebrate the art of renewal.
This is your invitation to join us in an immersive 10-day all-inclusive creative journey in collaboration with Perigord Retreats. We will be staying in the Dordogne and Lot regions of southwestern France, a place full of exquisite beauty, fascinating history & endless inspiration!
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 through picturesque landscapes or quaint villages, collecting stories and mementos that spark our imaginations. Evenings are a celebration of community, where laughter and heartfelt conversations weave bonds that linger long after the retreat ends.
Immerse yourself in the allure of southwestern France and create your own one-of-a-kind travel journal. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll journey through picturesque towns, markets, and historic sites, 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 charming village streets to the beauty of the French countryside, 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.
What to expect…
Daily excursions to thoughtfully chosen locations
Eat delicious locally sourced French cuisine cooked in-house
Picnic lunches with panoramic views and wine (of course)
Charming accommodations surrounded by nature and tranquility
24/7 onsite art studio access
Whether you’re an experienced artist or new to journaling, this workshop is designed to spark your creativity and bring the magic of France into every page. Throughout our time together, I will guide you through my favorite mixed media techniques utilizing vintage materials, gathered papers, paints, and ephemera. My teaching style is rooted in the belief that there are no mistakes in making art—only opportunities for discovery and growth. I offer gentle guidance, encouraging you to set aside expectations so your creativity can flow freely. Together, we’ll create an open, supportive space where experimentation is celebrated, and the magic of the process can truly unfold. My goal is to help you trust your instincts, embrace imperfection, and find joy in the unique beauty of your artistic journey. Leave with not only a beautiful journal, but also unforgettable memories and newfound artistic inspiration!
