Women’s Art and Soul Retreat in France

The chance to work with several materials in an artist’s own home gives this retreat its character. Alison’s emphasis on exploration makes room for beginners, while yoga, massage and country walks provide breaks from the studio.

Join morning and afternoon art sessions using painting, drawing, clay and journaling. The programme also includes gentle Kundalini yoga, meditation, a Hawaiian massage, a fire ritual and a silent country walk. Art materials, an art journal, 3 nights’ accommodation and vegetarian meals are included.

The currently available private room with a shared bathroom costs €1,190 for one person; the €790 shared room and €1,990 cottage are sold out on the booking page. Three nights, art materials, meals, yoga and a Hawaiian massage are included. Rennes train-station transfers are included; airport transfers and flights are extra through this booking route. Bring clothes suitable for painting and outdoor walks. The organiser describes this as a wellbeing retreat, not a substitute for therapy or medical care.
