Creativity Retreat in Provence, France

June 2008 -

Please join us on a trip to the world famous Provence in 2008. Creativity coach and devoted Francophile Rick Benzel along with one or two other noted creativity coaches) will guide you on a passionately enriching creative week in France. We will reside in a lovely house in a small town in the Provencal hills, near the Riviera. In the mornings, the group will meet to share and talk about each member's creative work over coffee, tartines and confiture. Each participant will then have time to pursue their own creative work on walks and in the vineyards, whether it's photography, painting, writing, or researching.

In the afternoons, we will journey to take in the richness of French history found in the historic sites and inspirational villages of this noted region, such as Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Nimes, Montpellier, Marseille, Arles, the Camargue and more. We can visit a few of the famous vineyards of Cotes-du-Rhone and sample the choicest wines of the world. You will return with rich memories of stunning scenic images, stimulating conversations, gastronomic feasts, and many, many new ideas to fuel your creative work.

Cost: Will be based on shared house rental cost, coaching fee for the week, plus airfare, local travel, and food expenses.
