Andi Schrader & Antje Leibscher Retreat 30 September – 09 October 2027

Surrounded by the gentle beauty of the Perigord countryside, this art retreat invites you to reconnect with your creativity, your inner landscape, and the joy of shared artistic exploration. Through color, texture, movement, meditation, and intuitive mark-making, we will create art that is deeply personal, expressive, and free from perfection. Gathering with community means you’ll be loved and held with encouragement and friendship as you experiment with both art and ways of being. You’ll have a certified creativity coach on this journey to help you recognize when your inner critic flares up and how your personality is expressed in your art process and products. We will take a deep dive into the Enneagram and how your creative and relational expression serves you well while occasionally limiting you.

Inspired by flowers, nature, excursions to quaint French towns, music, light, and the changing rhythms within ourselves, each day offers playful exercises in both art journaling and large canvas work. Together, we will explore the elements and principles of design in a warm, encouraging atmosphere where curiosity matters more than experience. This retreat is a celebration of individuality, connection, and the quiet magic that happens when women gather to create.

Come as you are — and leave with a fuller sketchbook, a painted canvas, and a heart nourished by color, beauty, and sweet community.
