What a fantastic creative weekend! The location, surrounded by nature, was perfect for inspiration and tranquility. The food was not only delicious but also honestly and carefully prepared, making every meal a celebration. The workshops were both educational and inspiring, with excellent explanations that benefited both the group and individuals. Astrid provides clear guidance and helps you fully (re)discover your creativity. What I particularly appreciated was the personal attention, which made you feel truly supported in your process. The company was warm and friendly, and sharing experiences made the weekend extra valuable. The atmosphere was open and inviting, making everyone feel free to just do and try. It was a perfect balance of learning, relaxing, and enjoying good company. This weekend has given my creativity a huge boost – I'm already looking forward to the next time!
