Creative Retreats 2015… Time is ALMOST HERE to SIGN UP!!!!!

Well I can't believe I just got back home from Italy and now it's already time to ANNOUNCE the next Creative Retreats in Italy!!!  (and Paris… SO excited)

I do this for a reason though.  I really want as many people to come as possible and I want you to have plenty of time to save up for it, plan for it and get to know the people you will be going with… and to get excited together!!  I understand this is a LUXURY retreat.  It's not something most people can just decide in one day to go on…  So I want you to have time to think about it, pray about it or just DREAM about the possibility of going some day.

So with that said, I want to share the DETAILS of the Creative Retreats for 2015!  I'm SO excited about next year and I hope you are too!  Enjoy looking at the information and feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

The first Creative Retreat for 2015 will be in Paris, France!!

As I said above, I am finally doing a Creative Retreat in Paris, France!  If you've followed me on any social media or my blogs over the years… you also know that I LOVE Paris.  I have been there many times and have come to know and love the many wonderful facets of Paris.  This city is AMAZING and if you have never been…or want to go back... please join me next June!  I want to share this beautiful, creative, inspiring city with YOU!

This will be a bit different than my Creative Retreats in Italy.  It will not be a full week so I am calling it a "mini" Creative Retreat.  I will be the only teacher and there will only be ONE class that I will be teaching at the end of our time together… for a reason.  I'm very excited about what I have planned and I want to keep it a secret for now.  This retreat will focus more on PARIS and the places that make it special.

Here's a taste of what the Paris Creative Retreat will include:

Paris ~ 5 Nights ~  June 7 - 12, 2015 - $1,955

- Five nights in a beautiful apartment in my favorite Arrondissement - Saint Germain

The 4th Annual Creative Retreat in Italy ~ June 13 - 20th, 2015

For next year I am changing things a bit and including MORE then ever before!!  As each year goes by I learn new things as I put these events together.   This helps me to grow and change things a little each time to hopefully create an amazing week for everyone involved! I also see this part of Italy through a new group of eyes each time and it is such a JOY for me to experience the beauty and splendor of Lake Como with a new group each year!  It is a passion of mine to share this part of Italy with YOU and I know you will enjoy this place as much as the other people have before you…
