A New Beginning
Personal or Family Retreat
I invite you to join me for a gentle, personalised retreat
designed to help you or your loved ones process grief through the healing power of creativity.
Whether you're looking for one-on-one support or wish to heal with family or friends, this retreat offers a safe, caring space where emotions can be expressed and transformed.
Held in my peaceful home' La maison de L'Artiste' in France.
Private & Personalised
Whether you come alone or with loved ones, the retreat is tailored to meet your emotional needs. We'll create a deeply personal space for healing through creativity and moments of mindfulness.
Healing with Alison
As a licensed art therapist, I will support you throughout the retreat.
Through creative exercises like painting, drawing, and writing, you will explore your feelings. There are many layers of emotions for the people left behind , including shock, disbelief, guilt and anger. Art therapy can unlock these inwardly held emotions. You’ll process your grief using art in a safe, non-verbal way. No art experience needed. I’ll guide you every step of the way,
Nature Walks, Yoga and Hawaiian massage
Quiet, meditative walks in the French countryside
will give you time to reflect and find peace in nature’s beauty.
Yoga and mindfulness will help you stay grounded,
while massage offers a soothing release for both mind and body.

"Alison's Women's Art Retreat exceeded my expectations on every level. The entire retreat was amazing - the women, food, music, accommodations, art and yoga exercises, farm, and most importantly - Alison and Mariana!! Thank you so much for everything!
On the other side of a magical four days, I feel more free to explore artistically due to Alison's inspiring and gentle guidance, but I also feel more open, positive and inspired in general. During the retreat I was able to explore my relationship with my grief in a real, deep, vulnerable, and meaningful way that will stay with me forever.
I recommend 10/10 to anyone thinking about a retreat here! It's a true gift to yourself!" Anna 2025
"Alison’s retreat in Normandy, France was truly magical and the perfect haven to help me heal whilst enjoying a creative getaway.Alison is the most beautiful soul, inside and out - she is a talented artist who is the hostess with the mostest. Alison’s attention to detail with all her creative activities was exceptional. These carefully designed activities helped me to rediscover myself and understand that I can and must go on. My time at the retreat was a very happy one - I have returned home with a renewed energy and inner peace that has been missing since my husband had passed away 7 months ago. We had been married for 43 years and he was my hero … my soulmate … the love of my life.THANK YOU … THANK YOU for helping me to reconnect with my creativity and happy inner self Ali - I will definitely be back soon " Judy attended a group retreat for her Healing
