Activating Creativity from Beautiful France
/
A glimpse of our joy as we ventured to parks, museums, AND QUIRKY SHOPS, TRAVELED THROUGHOUT PARIS ON THE METRO, WALKED FOR MILES, and ate amazing food!
Bonjour!
It’s a thrill to be writing to you from France!
Having dreamed of bringing women to this magical country after many visits to my father’s native land, and living in Paris for part of 2023, I created the L’Aventure Française retreat last year.
Being back here with another remarkable group of women is a true joy.
Inspiration in Paris
This precious time, away from the day-to-day of our lives at home, began when we filled our spirits with all that Paris has to offer.
We savored art, food, culture, beauty and history. We delighted in surprises as we explored and made discoveries!
Sharing many favorite, off-the-beaten-track places that most visitors never see, and guiding my clients to see and feel this city in meaningful ways, has been a delight, as it was last year.
Reflection in the lush countryside
After 5 days in Paris we have just traveled by train to the glorious Dordogne region, where we are living in a fabulous retreat center that offers a perfect mix of beauty, comfort, history and magic.
It is quiet here.
Our pace is slowing.
We are being fed by amazing hosts who cook with love — and are kind, funny and sweet.
We are creating and playing.
We will be exploring villages and markets, churches that date back to the 12th century, artist studios, and tucked away spots that offer sweet surprises.
As we reflect deeply on everything we have experienced, and discover layers of insight rising from our hearts, we are savoring this glorious opportunity for new ideas to appear and clarity to come forward.
Activating and expanding creative power
A lot has changed in the world since I led the first L’Adventure Française retreat last fall.
What has not changed is the enormous creative power that resides (often quietly) in each of us. This is power we can all tap and amplify.
We can each use that creative power to light up our spirits.
We can use it to shape the focus of the lives we want to live, and how we want to make our most meaningful marks on the world.
This unlimited power, when it’s unleashed, can enrich us in ways we may not even be able to imagine now.
And it will surely impact everyone and everything around us.
Wherever you are as you read this, pause to look for wonder. Take a few seconds to connect to your heart. Then do something new that’s aligned with a deep desire.
Violà! Your just activated some creative power!
