Join Me in Provence this November!
Are you ready to discover Provence?
If the uptick in screen time is making you dizzy, if you just need to unplug, then come get your hands dirty in Provence with a week-long retreat dedicated to ceramics, cooking, and l'art de vivre à la française. There's still time for you to join TERRE/MER, a collaboration with my dear friend talented ceramicist Camille Drozdz of ICI l'Atelier in La Ciotat taking place November 11-18. And for this inaugural edition, we're offering an unbeatable price of just 1500 euros, which covers your 20-hour ceramics intensive, all meals, excursions, activities, and lodging.
(Basically, all you have to do is get yourself there.)
So what are you waiting for?
What Is TERRE/MER?
The South of France has long drawn artists and cooks, writers and weary travelers looking for respite. A place out of time and yet very much of its time, the region is known for its crystal blue waters and rich terroir.
Along the rocky white cliffs of the calanques buzz bees raised by eco-conscious beekeepers; just a few miles away, deep black Grenache, Carignan, and Mourvedre grapes are grown for the region’s dry, pale pink rosés.
In the heart of historic La Ciotat, meanwhile, young entrepreneurs including organic produce vendors, winesellers, cheesemongers, and, of course, artisans like the ceramicists of ICI l’Atelier flourish, as the small city regains new life.
TERRE/MER invites you to be a part of this space, with Camille and myself as your guides.
TERRE/MER is not your typical vacation – nor is it your typical retreat. The adventure is built around community, hosting a small group of just seven women in typical Provençal homes. Together, you'll embark on a ceramics intensive at Camille's state-of-the-art atelier in the heart of La Ciotat, as well as cliffside walks, games of pétanque (invented here in La Ciotat!), small group yoga and pilates classes, and, of course, beer, wine, and cheese tastings and cooking ateliers with yours truly.
By the end of your stay, you will have made your own ceramic tableware, mastered the art of handmade aioli, and cultivated friendships to last a lifetime.
Book now to take advantage of this special rate. We cannot wait to welcome you.
