Soul Stirring Retreat in the South of France (June 11-18, 2026)

Mixed Media with Andrea Chebeleu

Join me for a week-long mixed media retreat in the heart of the French countryside— where creativity, community, and connection with nature come together in the most magical way.

Our home for the week is the centuries-old stone house La Cascade, with its riverside garden and timeless charm. Each day offers a balance of guided art-making, immersive excursions, and plenty of space to savor the rhythm of life in southern France.

What We’ll Create Together

Cyanotype on Fabric & Paper
Harness the French sunlight to create luminous blueprints with gathered leaves, flowers, and other treasures from our surroundings.

Mini Travel Journals
Collage, watercolor, and nature-inspired mark making come together as you craft a handmade journal — the perfect companion for recording your journey.

A Stitched Travel Pocket Scroll
We’ll stitch a one-of-a-kind scroll to hold your collection of creative travel goods, a keepsake imbued with the textures and colors of France.

Beyond the Studio

Our creativity is fed not only by the studio, but by the land and culture around us. Together we’ll:

• Dye with Woad — experience an unforgettable workshop with a local textiles historian, learning the ancient art of dyeing with woad, a plant-based blue pigment rooted in French history.
  

• Stroll the vibrant Saturday Revel market for inspiration and treasures.

• Explore local flea markets and artisan shops.

• Share long-table meals, laughter, and conversation in the garden.

• Wander cobbled streets or sit riverside, journal in hand, soaking in the aliveness of it all.

• 7 nights lodging at La Cascade (double occupancy)

• 7 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 6 dinners
