Medieval Petritoli with its Tres Archi

This is Petritoli in late June.

Fermo with one of the most beautiful Piazzas

A magical weeklong retreat in May/June 2026 with only 8 participants.
Imagine a week where time slows down, and where the scent of lemon trees drifts through the air, a fresh ocean breeze surrounds you, and you sit under an olive tree among wonderful people.

Join us for soul-nourishing art-making, deep rest, and enchanted exploration in Le Marche. Together with a supportive circle of friendly people, and full-day guidance and presence from the two of us — Paula and me, Miriam — your artist-hosts, who will gently support and inspire you on your journey.

Friend and Artist Paula Hartman is a Canadian artist known for her joyful, kinetic paper sculptures and heartfelt workshops.

This is me 😉 Poet, Artist, Award-Winning Designer, Storyteller & Traveller. Italy is my second home.

This journey is for those who are curious. For all levels, from absolute beginners to experienced artists. Curiosity is all that‘s needed.

Listen to the whispers of your inner artist to dream boldly, create freely and live with more ease, depth, and joy.

This retreat is a soft place to land. A wild place to bloom.
