A workshop for women in southwest France 

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 THROUGH THURSDAY OCTOBER 1, 2020

Are you ready for a soul-stirring retreat? 

Linda and Sarri Gilman combine exploring the stunning Médoc region with creative workshop sessions focused on self-care.

This retreat will be relaxing and give you time to slow down, explore your truth, and ways to care for you. Each day you’ll have a total of 2.5 hours of workshop time. We will have 1.5 hours of workshop time in the morning and 1 hour at the end of the day. In the middle of the day you will be touring, tasting, relaxing and renewing in southwest France. 

​During workshop time 
We will use imagery, collage, journaling, and conversations to discover hidden gems within you. Spend time learning about your self-care from your soul. This is a joyful process that always reveals parts of you. We will connect these discoveries about you to understanding your boundaries and your self-care. Self-care and boundaries are deeply connected. You will spend time connecting learning about your inner compass and how to use your boundaries for your wellbeing. 
You don’t have to have any art expertise. You will learn a process you can take home and do any time you need. 

​

Outside of workshop time
The Médoc region in France is gorgeous. We'll enjoy the foods, culture, châteaux,
views, and history of the region. This will be a time for renewal and relaxation. We will go beyond talking about self-care, we will nurture our souls. Each day you will have a different planned schedule for a delicious lunch out, touring, exploring, and have time for reflection.

Cooking
We will include a few meals we prepare together from ingredients we find in the market, led by our French cooking specialist: Corinne will show you how to make favorites from her family's regional traditions.
