Yoga, Art + Shopping in Paris
Paris, France
May 22-26, 2013
June 5-9, 2013 (sold out)
Join moi for a 5-day/4-night extravaganza to Paris, France indulging your creative spirit. This journey includes five decadent days spent exploring the City of Light through led art workshops, yoga, and vintage shopping with ample free time for tiptoeing through the Tuileries, indulging at a hamam (Turkish bath), window shopping along the Champs Élysées, visiting Mona Lisa at the Louvre (or a favorite Monet at Musée d’Orsay), and sipping a cup of café au lait at one of the countless sidewalk cafés.
Each day will include a leisurely breakfast followed by various outings as a small group including sketching and yoga in Luxembourg Gardens, afternoon tea at Ladurée, art journal classes in sidewalk cafes and picturesque gardens, an artist date day trip to Monet’s Garden, led vintage shopping to my fave finds, and flea market gallivanting. There will be a few hours of open space each day for exploring the city on your own in case you have a must-see (or taking a much-needed nap). This adventure is for Tranquility du Jour readers longing to connect with their creative spark, explore an inspiring city with a like-minded group, and bask in the beauty this special place offers (while picking up a vintage find or deux)!
Investment: $1995 includes 4 nights double lodging in Paris near Luxembourg Gardens, yummy all-level yoga (not for beginngers), inspiring art journal classes, meditation, an art ephemera packet, afternoon tea at Ladurée, transport and entrance to Giverny, sunset boat cruise on the Seine, and sensory surprises. Retreat participants will also receive exclusive access to a special podcast series, Facebook group, and private blog with tips on art journaling, retreat preparations, and more. Airfare, transportation within Paris, lunch, and dinners are additional. Limited spots available, early registration encouraged.
Whilst I am still processing the retreat experience, I honestly believe the last 2 weeks have been life changing for me and a period in my life I will remember forever. Kimberly you are truly inspirational. Having followed you via your blog and podcast for many years it was truly a dream come true meeting you. Thank you leading such an amazing retreat and introducing me to such a wonderful group of individuals, who, had it not been for our common link to you, I would never have had the pleasure of meeting. – Beautiful Helen, 2012 participant
