Over the past three years, we’ve been deeply moved by the creative energy, breakthroughs, and friendships that emerge during our retreats. Many of you have expressed a desire to return and immerse yourselves once again in the rhythms of the Château. To honor this, we’ve created Artist Circle Week—an exclusive, invitation-only opportunity to return as a creative resident, surrounded by fellow alumni who have also experienced the magic of this place.

Please note that while we treasure all of our retreat alumni, participation in the Artist Circle is by invitation only. Invitations are extended to those whose energy and spirit align with the unique community we cultivate at the Château. Even if you’ve attended a retreat before, your invitation will depend on how your presence has contributed to the atmosphere we strive to maintain.

Artist Circle Week is a time to explore your creativity at your own pace. Whether you dive into your art or embrace the freedom to try something new—paint, write, photograph, sew, sculpt, or follow inspiration wherever it leads you—this week is yours to shape. The Studio will be fully stocked with oils, acrylics, photography lights, and general art supplies. If your craft requires something special (sculpture or sewing materials, for example), feel free to bring or ship what you need.

By now, you know the rhythms of the Château—the long, thoughtful meals, the golden light stretching across the gardens, and the joy of creating in a space that nurtures and inspires. This is your time to step back into those rhythms and reconnect with your art.

The Artist Circle will be a recurring part of our calendar, with a dedicated week in 2026 and beyond. Once you’ve attended a retreat, you’re part of the Artist Circle family—always welcome to return, should you receive an invitation, to this creative home away from home.

À bientôt,
Julia & Caroline
