4 day Private 1:1 Art Therapy & Expression Retreat France

We’re here to help you create a unique retreat experience that fills your heart with inspiration and a renewed love for life.

These two heartfelt reviews from past guests beautifully capture the essence of this private retreat:

“What an incredible journey of self-discovery! If you're considering Alison's retreat, stop searching — this is it. I chose the tailor-made, one-to-one art therapy and expression retreat. We explored my life story, self-love, connection, fears, grounding, mindful eating, yoga, chanting, sound healing, self-nurturing, nature, creativity, journaling, Hawaiian Kahuna massage, and tools for letting go, forgiveness, and continued self-discovery. Everyone’s journey is unique. For me, this retreat was a powerful reconnection with myself and with universal energy. Alison is incredibly nurturing, trustworthy, and professional. The accommodation is beautiful and homely, nestled in the Rennes countryside. The food was plentiful, home-cooked, and made with love, with all dietary needs considered. This experience was truly life-changing — and priceless. Thank you, Alison.”

“The retreat was amazing! Alison took care of every detail — from wholesome, delicious meals to yoga, meditations, and massages. Her knowledge, compassion, and expertise helped me understand myself more deeply and leave feeling truly rejuvenated. I was hesitant about booking online, but it turned out to be the best investment I’ve made for myself in years. I highly recommend it to both non-artists and practicing professionals.”
– Alexandra
