Attend a Destination Art Workshop with Andrea Wedell
Join Andrea Wedell for an all-inclusive art retreat in the South of France from September 11 - 16, 2023.
Relax, draw inspiration, and paint while enjoying your stay at an exquisite, 19-acre former Cistercian monastery. This peaceful and restorative setting, with it’s long history of contemplative practices, will set the stage for your inner sanctuary to bloom.
Included in your workshop package is full room and board (includes farm to table meals, wine, coffee and tea), art materials needed, transportation from Marseille airport, guided excursions, and Andrea's personalized art instruction.
The Location
Le Monastère de Ségriès is located 6km from Moustiers-Sainte-Marie; a village ranked as one of the most beautiful in France. Little cobbled streets, quaint shaded squares, small bridges, and waterfalls lend this mountainside village all the picturesque charm for which it is so famous. Founded in the 5th century, Moustiers also owes its reputation to its famous faïence pottery.
The extensive grounds provide a variety of places for you to work in, such as the amphitheater, la terrasse du Pavillon, cloister, garden, several patioed areas and, of course, out on the wild surrounding Provençal garrigue.
