A transformative week at beautiful and serene Chateau de Borie, in the picturesque countryside of Agen, France.

This week will be the most valuable gift you can give your creative soul.

This workshop will be based on how we observe reality. We do that with an empty mind. A mind that is free of the past, free from how it “should be”, free of formulas, completely in the here and now. Only then do we have the possibility to continually view the world before us with sensitivity and excitement. So when we are creating, when we are looking at the subject, we are not attempting to copy what we see but to translate what we see into color relationships on a two-dimensional surface.
