A beautiful experience. This retreat was perfect. It was a wonderful experience in a beautiful area, loved all the art activities, yoga, massage and food was delicious. Alison was so kind and set up a great experience for all of us ladies. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested!

Inoubliable première expérience de retraite. Tellement bénéfique pour le corps et l'esprit! Entourée de personnes attentionnées qui vous offre sans compter amour, beauté, rires, énergie, bien-être. C'était pour moi une grande inspiration et respiration (dans tous les sens du terme) et un grand moment de calme dans ce monde agité, et que je veux faire perdurer. Merci encore Alisson, Claudie, Emilie and Mariana.Je recommande à 100%.

Amazing experience! Being my first retreat, I wasn’t sure what to expect but Alison and her team were ANGELS- they were very attentive and made me feel at home. I met a wonderful group of women- we laughed, we cried, and we shared unforgettable experiences. Every day was refreshing- the yoga sessions were a perfect way to begin the day, the art therapy activities were thoughtful and healing, the daily walks were perfect for personal reflection and to get in touch with nature, and the massage was relaxing and mindful. The food was delicious and abundant, the accommodations very comfortable, convenient pick-up and drop-off. Truly an uplifting self and group introspection experience. I’m so glad I booked this retreat. I highly recommend it!

Love, life, art: the words in the title of this retreat mirror beautifully what it was all about. I came to the retreat with a friend, knowing it would be a moment of self-reflection and relaxation, and a getaway from the busy work and family life I have. The retreat was that and so much more. It was a flow of fun, of 'a-ha' moments, of connexion, of mental and physical relaxation and of wonderful people. Alison is an amazing person, artist, facilitator and leader with a fire that lights up a room. The location and set up were perfect. I am grateful to have had a chance to join this retreat., and recommend it to all women seeking a moment to explore themselves or simply for a moment full of loving life with art (and super tasty and healthy food, fantastic Kahuna massage, yoga, journalling, walking, and letting go!).

The Women's Creativity Retreat has been incredible!! Time and space for reflection and connection to ourselves, nature and a group of amazing women. A powerful few days! If you're at all considering this, follow your instinct and book immediately. You won't regret it!

Alison’s Women’s Creativity Retreat is pure magic! It was a pleasant surprise to be guided through creative practices and art making in a gorgeous setting with such wonderful people. Alison and Emily were wonderful hosts, fed us very well and created beautiful elements of surprise and wonder every step of the way. You must take a chance on mystery to fully absorb the essence of what unfolds. I highly recommend anyone hoping to get back in touch with their creativity and themselves to take the chance on this retreat. You will not regret it!

I loved this retreat. I definitely recommend you go!Alison and Emily are so welcoming, the location is stunning and the rooms gorgeous. And it’s all the more personal as Alison is welcoming you into her home.Each day is so well thought out and considered , there are lots of different activities and special surprises along the way. And of course you get to share it all with a group of inspiring women

I left this retreat with my cup full, after a really difficult start to the year, and it is all thanks to Alison, Emily and Rebekka, who created such a wonderful space for women to get together and be truly creative and playful, with the emphasis being on the process and not the result! The activities really helped me to get inside my body and mind and not to worry about how it would look, but to feel the creativity and dream up something with true emotion!There were so many different activities but it didn't feel rushed at all - working with clay, portraits, yoga, meditation, dancing, costumes, mask making, walks in the forest, silence, music, journaling... There was laughter, tears, sharing, massage, healthy and yummy food!You might me thinking 'but I'm not creative' or 'i'm too introverted', don't worry. There were all sorts of personalities there and everyone was appreciated, and I thought it was a great touch that Alison made it clear that we weren't to comment positively on peoples work! This really meant the art was for only ourselves.When I got back from the retreat my friends said I was glowing! I'm feeling so much better. Thank you so much!

There is nothing more special that a group of women coming together and holding space for each other and with each other. Alison is such fun, full of vibrant energy and really knows her craft, such a talented and beautiful soul. It was absolutely amazing doing the clay, painting with ... (loops, don't want to tell you too much as you really, really have to experience it yourself!). You don't have to be an artist and you don't even need to be creative. Just show up and immerse yourself, it's so much fun. From Friday to Monday lunchtime, its action packed and a great opportunity to forget the world and focus on yourself, even just for a few days you will emerge feeling refreshed and like you have just stepped out of a time warp. Other activities included meditations, yoga, camp fire, nature walk and being in the forest. We had plenty of time to get to know the other women over our breaks and during meal times. By the way the food was superb, fresh, natural and so tasty! Emily and Rebekka made a great team with Alison and we even had a wonderful massage included. I have been on several retreats and hand on heart will recommend this to friends, will definitely go back and if you just want some time to reconnect with yourself or have a special occasion to bring a group of your people together, I would urge you to get in touch with Alison and get booked. The service was 5*, we were met at the station and taken to the retreat which is in a stunning setting. Alison has created a fabulous space and my sister & I stayed in the 1 bed self contained gite which was beautifully decorated and so cosy. There was a lot of little extras which shows how much thought Alison puts into making these experiences so special. To finish, we were driven back to the station where it is very easy to get train links into Paris and fellow travellers were going on to Rennes airport for flights back to Gatwick.

Without hesitation I’d say the retreat weekend was the highlight of our month in Europe! Alison and ‘Em are wonderful hosts, the location in the french countryside is gorgeous, food was great and our days and nights were full of art fun, insights and inspiration, my sister and I came away wishing we had done this a decade ago, seriously this weekend changed both our lives!I urge you to go, don’t hesitate! You’ll have heaps of fun and learn so much along the way!
